What to expect
Adjusting to a new hearing aid can feel overwhelming
at rst, and it can take time to feel fully comfortable.
With patience, though, you’ll soon be enjoying better
hearing.
Here’s what you can expect during the rst few days
and weeks of using the hearing aids.
Comfort and t
• The domes may feel strange or itchy inside your ear
canal at rst. This is normal, and you’ll get used to
the feeling over time. However, if they feel painful, try
a different dome size (see page 94).
• The hearing aids might feel slightly uncomfortable
to start. Try to wear them as much as possible to give
yourself time to get used to the feeling.
TIP: If you aren’t comfortable wearing the hearing
aids all day, try wearing them for a few hours at a
time and gradually work up to longer use.
