Physical comfort and handling
The first step to any new device – whether you are buying a cell phone, glasses or sneakers – is getting used to how they work and feel. With sneakers, you may need to adjust the laces so they don't pinch. With hearing aids, you may need to practice putting them on and taking them out to test out what feels best for you. We encourage you to be patient, as you may need to do the old "trial and error" method to finding your way to ultimate comfort. Remember, new hearing aids take time to get used to, especially if you are a first-time user or changing to a different type of device or hearing aid brand.

Audiological issues
Sound quality is key to your success as a hearing aid wearer. As you wear new aids, you may find that they amplify more than you expected, so you hear background noises you didn't notice before, or you find that suddenly the TV is too loud and that everyone around you sounds as though they are shouting. This is normal while your brain adjusts to receiving sounds at "the right volume" again. We encourage you to give your brain time to adjust. We are here to help. If needed, we may be able to adjust the calibration or help you tweak the sound to meet your needs. The team at HearingLife will work with you so that your new devices are set correctly.
