How difficult is it to adjust to hearing aids?
Adjusting to hearing aids requires that you re-learn how you hear and perceive sounds. As with learning anything else, it takes time. Individuals are often surprised when they can once again hear the turn signal clicking in their car, or their shoelaces hitting against their shoes. Todays hearing aids are so flexible and sophisticated that they can be adjusted to almost any hearing loss or environment. Getting yourself adjusted to hearing aids requires that you have a positive attitude – dont let yourself be discouraged from improving your hearing or quality of life by your own hesitation or the negative experiences of friends or family. In addition, the new user must be willing to wear the hearing devices every day in order for his/her brain to become adjusted to new sounds. Remember to be patient, and speak with Dr. Bright Pearson or her staff about any concerns that you may have.
