In general, the greater the hearing loss and the longer the hearing loss has been present, the more challenging the transition to using hearing aids. We\u2019ve had patients that needed only a few days to get used to their new hearing aids, but most need a few weeks to a few months.<\/p><p>Be realistic. Hearing loss typically develops over many years. Becoming reacquainted with sounds while using hearing aids will take practice and time. It is important not to become disillusioned or frustrated while your brain adjusts to the new sounds provided by your hearing instruments. The time you spend\u00a0adjusting to your new hearing aids is well worth it.<\/p><p>There is no perfect way to learn how to adjust to hearing aids.\u00a0Try to be patient with yourself,\u00a0and return to our office for further adjustments or consultation if needed.
