How long does it take to get used to the new hearing aids?
The world is a noisy place. Often people with perfect hearing are able to suppress interfering noises by concentrating on the sounds they wish to hear. However, if you have had a hearing impairment for some time you may have lost this ability. Your hearing instruments will re-introduce you to many sounds you may have forgotten, e.g. the ticking of a clock, paper being crumpled, the clicking of heels on the floor, birds chirping, children laughing, etc. but getting used to hearing these sounds again might take some time. Therefore, have patience in getting used to the new acoustic ambiance.
