When provided with a pair of hearing aids, your hearing instrument specialist will program the device based on your hearing test results. You should also receive a tutorial about caring for your hearing aids.
You may notice some changes with your hearing aids, including a difference in snugness/comfort, volume levels, feedback noise (high-pitched squealing noises), or some other issues that have come up. It’s a common occurrence within the first few months for anyone who tries new hearing aids. A few short visits with your hearing instrument specialist will get you back on the right track when adjusting to your hearing aids. Home Care for Your Hearing Aids All technology, whether dealing with hearing aids or any electronic device - like your phone, needs appropriate care. Regular cleanings with a soft cloth can keep your hearing aids clear from debris. Check the power levels on the batteries or make sure they are fully charged for the next day. If they come in contact with any moisture, store them in a dryer box container. You can also submerge them in a container of uncooked rice to draw out the moisture. Our specialists at Pure Sound recommend receiving a thorough cleaning from one of our professionals once every six months. When Should You Get Your Hearing Aids Adjusted? You should schedule an appointment with your hearing instrument specialist at least two times each year. Schedule a check-up if your hearing aids don’t fit comfortably or you can’t hear clearly from them. If you experience any of the following problems, come and see one of our hearing aid specialists:
The Hearing Aid Adjustments It’s common to have fluctuations in hearing so eventually, your hearing aids will require reprogramming. Why Reprogramming is Needed
Your hearing aid provider can make adjustments to your hearing aid settings that include blocking out background noise, frequency settings, and volume settings. If your provider believes your hearing has changed, an additional hearing test may be conducted. Your test results will help determine your optimal hearing aid settings. The material from your custom ear molds can become worn and weathered, leading to an uncomfortable fit. Your hearing instrument specialist can create new molds or tailor the current ones to fit better. If you need a hearing test, a re-test, and customized or standard hearing aids, contact Pure Sound Hearing. Comments are closed.
