What is “background noise” and how can I learn to deal with it?
All patients wearing hearing instruments often become annoyed by background noise. It can be hard to get used to when you begin wearing hearing instruments. There is no way to completely eliminate background noise, even without hearing instruments – background noise can become a nuisance. However, with advancing technology background noise can be greatly minimized. Many digital models have the capabilities to help reduce noise and help make it more tolerable. If background noise is bothering you, speak to your hearing specialist to learn about what options are available and best to fit your hearing needs.
