You\u2019ve had a hearing test, consulted with your audiologist and picked out your hearing aids<\/a>. These are all great steps, but there\u2019s still a bit more to do to maximize your hearing experience. Many first-time hearing aid users make mistakes that can make the process of getting used to their device more difficult. Let\u2019s take a look at three things you can do to avoid these common pitfalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be Honest with Your Audiologist <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your audiologist will be there to guide you through the entire process. They will work with you to make sure your hearing aids are comfortable and are adjusted to meet your needs. It\u2019s important to be as honest as possible during every step to ensure you\u2019re getting the best care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t try to guess correctly during your hearing test<\/a> or say that the fit feels great when really, it\u2019s quite uncomfortable. Addressing any issues you\u2019re having early on in the process makes it a much smoother transition moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be Patient<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Research shows that users take time to adjust to a new device and that the benefits improve over the first 10 weeks of use<\/a>. However, some users assume that they will automatically experience perfect hearing the moment they wear their device for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reality, your ears need some time to adjust to this massive change, especially if you are new to hearing aids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
