Q. How do I know which hearing aids are best for me? Q. How often should I wearing my new hearing aids? Q. How often do I need to replace my batteries? Q. How often should I get my hearing tested? Q. How do I cure this ringing in my ears?
A. With the amount of hearing devices being made available, it can seem a little overwhelming at first. However, we are able to help you narrow down your choices to find the right devices for you. Some factors in determining the best device include: the technology used, the style of the hearing device, and the environments you spend the most time in.
• Wearing new hearing devices frequently, even when alone, can help you adapt to them quickly.
• You can use a soft, dry toothbrush to clean the receiver and microphone on your hearing device.
• Exposing new batteries to the air for a couple minutes before inserting them into your device can greatly improve battery life.
• Dry hearing devices immediately if they come in contact with moisture.
• Scheduling routine device cleanings and adjustments can ensure you are receiving the most out of your devices.
• When having a conversation with a hearing aid wearer, speak clearly and directly at them.
• Get their attention with a tap on the shoulder before beginning to speak to them.
• Rephrasing what you say, rather than repeating it, can help them understand better.
• Noisy environments, such as restaurants, can make it difficult for a hearing aid wearer to understand conversations.
• Offer to attend a hearing screening with them. Being supportive can help relieve any stress they might have.
