A hearing aid is an electroacoustic device which typically fits in or behind the wearer's ear, and is designed to amplify and modulate sound for the wearer. Earlier devices, known as an "ear trumpet" or "ear horn",were passive funnel-like amplification cones designed to gather sound energy and direct it into the ear canal. Similar devices include the bone anchored hearing aid, and cochlear implant.
People learn at different rates. Some people need a day or two to learn about and adjust to their hearing aids, most need a few weeks and some may need a few months. There is no perfect way to learn about hearing aids. I usually recommend you wear hearing aids for a few hours the first day and add about an hour a day for each following day. Do not try to set an endurance record! Over time you will increase the amount of time you wear hearing aids. Eventually you will wear the hearing aids most of your waking hours. It is recommended you interact with people most familiar to you during your first few days. Start off with your hearing aids in a favorable listening environment and work towards more difficult listening situations.
Hearing aid work very well when fitted and adjusted appropriately. Hearing aids amplify sound! The left and right hearing aids will probably not fit exactly the same and they probably won’t sound exactly the same. You might find you like one hearing aid better than the other. Nonetheless, hearing aids should be comfortable with respect to physical fit and sound quality.
Hearing aids do not restore normal hearing and are not as good as normal hearing. You will be aware of hearing aids in your ears. Until you get used to it, your voice will sound "funny" when you wear hearing aids. Hearing aids should not to be worn in extremely noisy environments.
