Steps to properly wear hearing aids

Use of hearing aids should be gradual

Step 1: avoid hearing difficulties

Start the “listening training” course in a familiar environment, carefully read the operation instructions, and be familiar with how to use the hearing aids; in the first few weeks, do not be in noisy places.

Step 2: slowly increase the time of wearing hearing aids

At the beginning, don’t use the hearing aid too long. In the first few days, the time of wearing the hearing aid should not exceed one to three hours. When you feel nervous or tired, you should take off the hearing aid and rest for several hours. It is very important to increase the time of wearing hearing aids every day so that you can slowly adapt to the sound of the surrounding environment.

Step 3: control the sound volume

Don’t turn the volume too high. In many cases, this will not improve the ability to understand the conversation, but will lead to distortion of the voice. Don’t try to make a slight noise in the distance. At this stage, if you can have a general conversation within 2-3 yards, it is enough.

Step 4: adapt to the use of hearing aids

Ideally, your hearing aid should be a part of your body, just like farsighted and nearsighted glasses and contact lenses, but this process is gradually coming, and it requires some efforts, so you can treat the hearing aid as a friend, rather than some “device outside your body”.

Step 5: learn to listen in noisy places

Hearing aid users need to be able to concentrate on listening to the sound they want to suppress the interference noise in noisy environment like other people with normal hearing. However, if you suffer from hearing loss for a long time, you will lose this ability temporarily.

Ear health care of hearing aid users

Hearing that has declined is the manifestation of aging of body and organs. Under the stimulation of external hearing aids, most people can sense the external part of sound with the help of residual hearing. However, using hearing aids for a long time will inevitably cause the inner ear nerve fatigue. Long term fatigue will cause the inner ear nerve to age again. Once again, hearing will gradually lose.

At present, many hearing aid business units publicize that wearing hearing aids is beneficial to the activation of inner ear nerve and the enhancement of hearing. The benefits of hearing aids are more in the psychological aspect, because after wearing hearing aids, the perception ability of organs is improved, and then the communication with people is not a problem. The enhancement of self-confidence can reduce the negative effects of hearing caused by the psychological effects of deafness.

Hearing nerve and hearing organ must be maintained. This is a place that people who wear hearing aids tend to ignore. For people who use hearing aids, it is particularly important to take off the hearing aids, nourish their own hearing nerves at rest, and let the ear nerves have a full maintenance time.

Pay attention to hearing aids for the elderly

Wearing hearing aids is an important means to improve the hearing of the deaf elderly. However, hearing aids cannot be purchased and used at will. They can only be worn after strict matching. In the process of hearing aid fitting, the elderly should pay attention to the following points:

1. For the newly occurred senile deafness, do not rush to wear hearing aids. It must be treated for a period of time. If it still cannot be improved, then consider wearing hearing aids.

2. Before fitting hearing aids, a comprehensive professional examination must be carried out to select suitable hearing aids according to the degree of hearing loss. Never buy or wear it at will to avoid damaging the remaining hearing.

The degree of deafness in both ears is often different. Generally, hearing aids should be worn on the side with poor hearing, so that the other ear can still listen to the voice of nature, so that the hearing of both ears can be as harmonious as possible. If one ear is moderately deaf and the other ear is severely deaf, it should be worn on the side with better hearing, so as to obtain the best listening effect. For the moderate and severe deafness with the same degree of deafness, it is better to wear double Earrings instead to reduce fatigue.

There is an adaptation period for the elderly to wear hearing aids, about three to five months. During the adaptation period, the volume of the hearing aid should be turned down as much as possible. At the beginning, the wearing time should not be too long, just a few minutes at a time, and then gradually longer.
