Assuming
the Hearing Will Instantly Improve
Many people think that their hearing
will go back to being 100% normal as soon as they leave the hearing
specialist’s office. The process takes time. You will need to get used to
having the device in your ear and listening to people again at your routine
environment.
The hearing aid can feel slightly
discomfort when you start wearing it at first, but over time, you’ll get used
to the feeling. A more realistic timeline for drastically improved hearing is
about one month – some say they hear better within two weeks. Whatever the case
might be, hang in there. It’ll get better soon.
Not
understanding How the Devices Work
Don’t assume that you know how your
hearing aid works. This is because many modern hearing aids have impressive
tech that adapts to various settings and environments.
They may also come with extra
features that connect to your phone, TV, home entertainment system and other
appliances in the home. So, learn everything you can about it. Most will come
with a manual containing all pertinent information. Study it and maybe even go
over it with your audiologist if you’re not sure of something.
Using
the Device without Tracking Improvements
How are you supposed to know if your
hearing is getting better or if there are improvements in your hearing if
you’re not tracking it? This is why you need to pay attention to how the
hearing aid functions and feels in your ear for prolonged time.
Test the device in as many environments as possible. For instance, if you’re struggling to hear anything in a cozier room, note it down so you can talk to the hearing aid specialist about it at your next appointment.
Being
Honest During the Hearing Test
Your hearing test is for your own benefit.
It’s not an examination that you have to impress the analyzer. It’s meant to
help assess the current status of your hearing so that you can get the most
effective hearing aid device. So, when people aren’t truthful about their
hearing problems.
Being
Careless with the Device
The composition in a hearing aid is
often sensitive. While the manufacturers try to encase them in hard shells so
they don’t get broken easily by throwing it around carelessly, dropping it,
forgetting to charge the batteries or get spare batteries and not cleaning it
properly can damage the device.
