How to use hearing aids to help improve your hearing?

Hearing aids must first be properly matched. The fitter will choose a hearing aid that suits you according to your hearing situation. After wearing the hearing aid, you should communicate in a quiet environment. The wearing time can’t be too long. Communicate with people, let the family talk to you, don’t be as loud as before, but you can talk slower, so that your hearing will improve. Remember, hearing aids are just an aid to hearing aids and cannot completely replace our ears.

First use a hearing aid in a familiar and quiet environment, practice to distinguish the sounds in the environment, and learn to listen to each other in the case of two people. Don’t expect to be very effective in a short time, or you will be disappointed. At the beginning of use, the volume of the hearing aid is adjusted to a small point, first practice to adapt to your own voice.

After the sound passes through the hearing aid, it sounds different than before. Therefore, at the beginning, the volume can be adjusted to a comfortable level. Don’t care if some words are not clearly heard. At this time, if you can’t immediately understand the small voice, the conversation in the distance, or the dialogue in the noisy environment, you don’t have to panic. Within a few weeks, you will probably be able to adapt to hearing aids.

At this point, you will find that even if you wear it all day, you will not feel tired or nervous. Don’t force yourself to do too much practice. If you feel unwell, turn off the hearing aid, or take it off and put it on for a while. The “selective” hearing ability can be re-learned. Practice finding a sound in the surrounding sound, then focus on listening to it.

Vision is also very important when talking to people. When talking to people, pay attention to the mouth shape of the speaker, his expressions and actions can also help you understand the meaning. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from others. Ask your family and friends to try to get your attention before talking to you. Please don’t shout, but speak slowly and clearly. When attending classes, meetings, or listening to a speech, it is best to sit in the middle or in front of the position, and then listen to it with full concentration. It may be difficult to watch TV or listen to the radio. Actors often like to speak in special tones, and the accompanying music effects often obscure the dialogue sound. Therefore, sit as far as possible within the distance of 2 to 3 meters, pay attention to the pitch and speed of the dialogue.

Gradually, you can guess from the meaning of the preceding and following sentences that you have not heard clearly; soon, you can understand the meaning without much effort.
