Children understand these 6 points-let the elderly wear hearing aids scientifically

For most elderly people, hearing loss is a slow matter. On average, three to five years will gradually change the outside sound. Many people will not feel the impact on their lives until they have severe hearing loss. Therefore, in the process of wearing hearing aids, you must also gradually and gradually adjust the state.

1. Beginning at home, go to public places without hearing aids for the first two weeks

We generally recommend that elderly people wear hearing aids to start with a quiet and simple environment instead of directly going to noisy environments to avoid adverse effects. When the elderly’s brain doesn’t adapt to hearing aid sounds, the more complicated the environmental sounds, the more chaotic they will become.

The length of the adaptation period is related to the personality and adaptability of the elderly. Hearing needs and lifestyles have a great impact on resilience. For example, an elderly person over 90 years of age has a very active and healthy life. In less than 3 weeks, he can adapt to the whole process of wearing a hearing aid.

2. You can rest between wearing, the goal is 8 hours a day

Hearing aids are generally recommended to be worn for at least 8 hours a day, but at the initial wearing stage, you can rest for 10 minutes on the first day of wearing 1-2 hours. Wear it for no less than 8 hours, take it slowly, and gradually increase it, don’t worry.

3. Children should understand, speak slowly

Many elderly people are anxious after wearing hearing aids and want to hear what their children are saying right away, and this requires a period of accumulated experience to use before they can be integrated. As a child, you should help your parents at this time, slow down your speech appropriately, and cut more sentences, try to speak face to face with the elderly, spit words clearly, and help the elderly adapt to the hearing aid.

4. Families with grandchildren should communicate with hearing aid fitting teachers in a timely manner

Some elderly people live with grandchildren or toddlers, and the children often cry inexplicably. In this case, they should communicate with the hearing aid fitter in time to adjust the hearing aid adjustment plan, so as not to be too loud and annoying the elderly at the beginning.

5. Don’t jump thinking, keep language simple

Some children feel that they are already speaking slowly. Why do old people still feel inaudible? In fact, sometimes it ’s not the old people who ca n’t hear them, but they do n’t understand the young people ’s fresh words, so they feel they have missed the information. When communicating with the elderly, young people should try to maintain the traditionalness and coherence of their thinking, avoid red tide words, and at the same time be patient and encourage, and help the elderly to feedback questions to the hearing aid fitter in a timely manner.

6. If you have any discomfort, you must tell the hearing aid fitter in time

If there is any uncomfortable condition when the elderly wear it, the children must help tell the hearing aid fitter. Do not feel troublesome, the problem can be solved in time, and the elderly can trust the hearing aid again.

Sometimes, old people wear hearing aids and complain about why they are so noisy. Many people will have this feeling. The purpose of the elderly wearing hearing aids is actually just to hear family members talking. Most of the sounds in the environment are not intended to be heard. However, the sounds that exist in nature are already there. I ca n’t hear environmental sounds in time, I ’m used to the silent world, and suddenly I do n’t get used to hearing aids. This kind of situation can only be relieved by wearing them for a long time. Just like we hear a lot of sounds ourselves, there are also things we want to hear and do n’t want to hear. Our brain will filter out all unwanted sounds. Similarly, the brain of the elderly also has this function, which takes time to practice.

The fitting of hearing aids for the elderly is not as simple as many people think, but it is a very systematic process. It is not just a matter of fitting and leaving it alone. It also requires continuous hearing management in the later stage.
