When you first start wearing hearing aids, it’s normal to go through an adjustment period. This does become a challenge for many individuals — and some may even stop wearing their devices before they’ve had a chance to adapt.
This is especially concerning when we consider that, in the United States alone, as many as 28.8 million1 adults could benefit from adding hearing aids to their daily healthcare protocol.

This may impact our ability to decipher audio input and for some users, amplified noises and voices may register as unpleasant or too loud.

A recent study — led by accredited researchers and published in the American Journal of Audiology — found that 64% of patients with hearing loss adapted to their new devices within two months3.
That said, some sources claim that it could take up to four months for select individuals to enjoy the full benefits of new hearing tech.
According to hearing care experts, there are a few key things you can do to ease your transition into hearing aid use.
