Your Songbird Disposable Hearing Aid may require an adjustment period, during which you will get used to the feeling of wearing a hearing aid, and also to hearing sounds you may not have heard in several years.
Having reasonable expectations and understanding that it may take some time to achieve full potential with any hearing aid can help ensure that you get maximum use and enjoyment from your Songbird Disposable Hearing Aid.
No matter
what type of hearing aid you wear, it is important to comply
with the after-care recommendations of your hearing professional.
What kinds of improvements can you expect?
- In a quiet environment, your hearing should markedly improve.
- In a moderately noisy environment, your hearing should also improve.
- Similar to people with “normal” hearing, your hearing in noise will not be as effective as your hearing in quiet.
- In loud environments, your hearing should be no worse than it would be without a hearing aid.
- You should find that soft speech is audible, conversational speech is heard at a comfortable level and loud speech is tolerable, not uncomfortable.
- You should not hear whistling or feedback if your hearing aid is inserted correctly.
- While wearing your hearing aid, your own voice may sound different to you, but it should sound satisfactory to you.
Remember, it takes time to achieve the full benefits of any hearing aid. Realizing that some sounds may sound strange to you at first, and practicing speech reading and good listening skills, will help you through your adjustment process.
Hearing aids may not completely restore “normal” hearing, and you may continue to experience some difficulty in certain noisy environments. But with patience and practice, you should be able to achieve excellent results with your Songbird Disposable Hearing Aid, and enjoy the feeling of participating in conversations with your family, friends and co-workers…not to mention hearing things like the birds singing or the voices of children!
