Getting Comfortable with Your New Device
Just like any other big change in your life, you can expect a short
period of getting comfortable with your new listening device. You’ll
suddenly hear things that maybe you haven’t in years: a dripping
faucet, that old grandfather clock, footsteps, trac noises and
even the sound of your own voice! This can all be a lot to take in if
you jump in feet rst, so we’ve put together a few helpful tips and
tricks to ease your transition and get your hearing back closer to
where it belongs.
1. Be Patient — By far the most important; understand how much
you can handle and remember that the biggest journeys start with
a single step.
2. Start Slow — Don’t overdo it. Your rst impulse may be to
plug in your new listening device and head out into the crowd.
But be cautious, you can surprise your hearing and risk becoming
frustrated with the sounds you are adding back to your listening
world. Start o wearing your listening device for no more than an
hour at a time and do this throughout the day several times. Also,
be sure to avoid noisy places at rst.

3. Work Your Way Up — As you nd yourself becoming more
and more comfortable with your new level of hearing (this can
take weeks, go at your own pace) you can extend your wear to
longer periods of time and possibly even adjust the volume to
nd the right level for you. Again, this will take time.
4. Mix it Up — Try new places. As we mentioned, start in calm,
quiet locations and work into slightly larger crowds, noisy trac
locations and so on. Remember, if it’s too much, you’re going too
fast, but can always remove your listening device or adjust the
volume level.
5. Ask For Help — Let a First Street Customer Service
Representative help you through these new challenges. Talk about
what you’re hearing, what you’re feeling and have them help guide
your speaking voice to an acceptable level that you may not be
used to after what may have been years of poor hearing. If anything,
you’ll at least have someone to share the joy of your newfound
hearing gain. Our customer service number is 877-670-0745.
