Here are four golden rules to follow to help you get used to them. <\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #0084b0;\"> Wear your hearing aids regularly<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #969799;\">To adapt better in the first weeks, wear your hearing aids every day for as long as they are comfortable. Remove them at bedtime. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #969799;\">Go at your own rhythm, but remember: the more you wear your hearing aids, the faster you\u2019ll get used to them. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #0084b0;\">Pay attention when listening to relearn how to hear sound<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #969799;\">Many sounds might surprise you: the kettle, the phone or even the refrigerator. Don\u2019t worry, that\u2019s perfectly normal! You will have to relearn their sounds to identify them. Bit by bit, they will become part of your daily life. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #969799;\">To watch TV, have someone tell you when the TV is at normal volume then adjust the volume of your hearing aids so you can hear it. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #0084b0;\"> Be patient<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #969799;\">Have realistic expectations about what your hearing aids can and can\u2019t do. They do have limits based on their technology and your hearing. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #969799;\">The first few days will be the hardest. After the initial adaptation period, your hearing aids will be increasingly gratifying. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #0084b0;\"> Slowly but surely<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #969799;\">You won\u2019t adapt to your hearing aids overnight. The process is much like getting used to new glasses or dentures. It\u2019s normal that sounds seem unnatural at first, but that will quickly change! Remember that listening consistently, regularly and repeatedly to sounds with your hearing aids will make hearing well seem more natural to you. The joy of hearing grows with use!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have any problems with your hearing aids, see your audioprosthetist. He or she is there to help you and will do everything possible to make sure you regain the pleasure of hearing. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1519331221559{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;16px&#8221;][vc_btn title=&#8221;Make an appointment with your audioprosthetist&#8221; el_class=&#8221;make-an-appointment-cta&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are some useful <\/span><span style=\"color: #0084b0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/legroupeforget.prod.okam.io\/en\/hear-better\/adapt-to-hearing-aids\/communication-strategies\">communication strategies<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that can help you adapt to your hearing aids and communicate more easily with those around you.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] How do you adapt to wearing hearing aids\u00a0?
