What are some common experiences reported by hearing aid wearers?Updated a month ago
- Discomfort. If your hearing aid feels slightly uncomfortable at first, try the following:
- Wear it for one or two hours on the first day; add one hour each day until you are able to wear it comfortably for a full day.
- It is recommended that you start with the medium-sized ear dome. If the fit is too loose, switch to the larger size. If it is too tight, use a smaller size.
- The occlusion effect. The "plugged-up" sensation that causes a hearing aid user's voice to sound louder inside the head is very common for new hearing aid users. Most individuals get used to this effect over time.
