The 21-Day Journey To Hearing Again
Unlike vision correction, which simply needs new glasses, hearing correction is a rather detailed process. Once you start your hearing correction journey, you will experience countless "new sounds", and your brain needs to adapt for a period of time. In just a few weeks, you will be shocked by the sounds that you have never experienced before.
Getting Your New Hearing Aids
Opening Your Hearing Aids
This is the exciting part! Open the box your new hearing aids came in. Check the included photo to be sure everything is included in the box.Â
Charging Your Hearing Aids
The next step is to charge your hearing aids. You can charge the hearing aids in the portable charging case. Be sure you charge the hearing aids for the first time for about 2-3 hours. Read more >>.
Fitting The Earbuds
Your new hearing aids will come with earbuds already on the devices. If they are not fitting correctly in your ears then you may need different size earbuds. You will notice that your box includes several different sized earbuds. Simply replace the earbuds with the earbuds that fit the best. Read more >>.
Try On The Hearing Aids
First, insert the hearing aids into your ears. Then turn one on at a time. When they are on you will notice sound coming through them, and specifically high-frequency sounds.
Adjust The Volume
You will notice immediately if the volume of one or the other hearing aids is either too high or too low. If this is the case, tap the "M" volume control button on each hearing aid once to increase the volume up to 5 times.
Getting Used To New Sounds
Sounds May Be Too Noisy At First
Some sounds may be too noisy when wearÂing a hearing aid for the first time, such as the buzzing of the refrigerator, the wrinkling of paper, or the sound of your footsteps.
This is normal, and your brain is relearning how to prioritize these sounds.
Sometimes you may not like the noise, but please don't give up wearing them as it's still too early.
Still Not Sounding Right?
If you're hearing screeching or howling sounds while the hearing aids are in your ear, you may need to try a different sized earbuds.
Use the Hearing Aids Gradually To Get Used To Them
At the beginning, we recommend wearing the hearing aids for 30 minutes a day, and then gradually increase the wearing time until the you're wearing them the entire day.
Ask People to Speak Normally To You (Not To Shout)
The more you wear the hearing aid, the more you can adapt to the sound environÂment. You even can ask people around you not to speak loudly to you anymore, because you can easily communicate with them.
Get Back Into The Conversation
After a few weeks, you will feel more enerÂgetic because you no longer need to spend a lot of energy listening to what others say.
The sound will become clearer and clearer, and you will once again enjoy the sounds that surround your life, such as the melodious singing of birds in the backyard, the cheerful laughter of children, and the rustling of leaves in the wind.
