What is “adjusting” to hearing aids?
Hearing aids help individuals hear better but do not cure hearing loss. First time users think hearing aids are like eyeglasses: put them on and the world is clear. This doesn’t happen. The brain needs time to relearn to hear, process new sounds and become familiar with sounds it hasn’t heard in years. The user needs to allow 30 to 90 days or even longer to become comfortable with the aid.
