LISTENING TIPS

Give yourself time to become accustomed to your new hearing aid.
During this period, you may prefer to wear your hearing aid for only a
portion of the day, and then gradually increase your usage throughout
your normal routine each day.
• You may find that a quiet environment is more comfortable in the beginning of
the adjustment period. Gradually introduce new listening environments as your ear
becomes accustomed to hearing aid amplification.
• If you are a new hearing aid user, be aware that there are sounds, both pleasant and
unpleasant, that you may not have heard in a long time.
• Ask the people with whom you are conversing to attract your attention before
speaking to you. If you don't understand what someone has said, ask the speaker to
slow down or say it in another way, but not to shout.
• In noisy or difficult environments, you may find It easier to understand speech
by facing the speaker. Focus on reading lips and observe facial expressions and body
language. Be aware that in some situations, it may be too noisy to understand what
is being said.
• Encourage one person to speak at a time when you are engaging in group
conversation.
• Listen to radio and television as you normally would.
• You should experiment to find a good place to sit for optimum hearing in gathering
places like churches, theaters, school auditoriums, and other public spaces. Try to
choose a seat that is far away from any source of distracting noise, such as a fan or
an open window.
