Note: If you remain concerned, consult a professional.
If you try this device and continue to struggle with or remain
concerned about your hearing, you should consult with a
hearing healthcare professional.
Note: What you might expect when you start using a
hearing aid.
A hearing aid can benefit many people with hearing loss.
However, you should know it will not restore normal hearing,
and you may still have some diculty hearing over noise.
Further, a hearing aid will not prevent or improve a medical
condition that causes hearing loss.
People who start using hearing aids sometimes need a few
weeks to get used to them. Similarly, many people find that
training or counseling can help them get more out of their
devices.
If you have hearing loss in both ears, you might get more
out of using hearing aids in both, especially in situations
that make you tired from listening–for example, noisy
environments.
Caution: You might need medical help if a piece gets stuck
in your ear.
If any part of your hearing aid, like the eartip, gets stuck in
your ear, and you can’t easily remove it with your fingers,
get medical help as soon as you can. You should not try to
use tweezers or cotton swabs because they can push the
part further into your ear, injuring your eardrum or ear canal,
possibly seriously.
