How to get use to hearing aids

Posted by gcranor @gcranor, Dec 17, 2022

I am getting a pair of good to great quality of hearing aids; how do you suggest to get use to them at the start so I don’t quit wearing after a short while like most people do (I am 65).

Well, you have a lot more settings than I do so have fun with those. You may find the noise and wind reduction settings not as effective as you would like. I have a profound loss and had some of the settings taken out as I don’t benefit from a lot of the bells and whistles. You may also find yourself relying on 2 or 3 settings most of the time so the Audi can delete any you don’t use down the road so you don’t have too many buttons to press. I am assuming you have an app for this particular aid which should take some of the wear and tear away from manually changing settings. Before apps were utilized I wore out buttons on an old Oticon aid years ago.
