Hearing Expectations
Set Appropriate Expectations
It is important that you have the right expectations
regarding your hearing aids. Hearing aids will give you
better hearing, but they are not a cure for hearing loss.
People whose expectations are too high (“I thought
they would make my hearing normal”) are likely to be
disappointed and may give up.
Hearing Aids Can:
Help you hear and understand better in most•
situations.
Allow you to participate more in group situations•
and meetings.
Hearing Aids Cannot:
Give you normal hearing.•
Hearing Aids May Not:
Let you hear very soft sounds.•
Block ALL background noises–especially in•
noisy groups. Even people without hearing loss
may have difficulty hearing in the presence of
background noise.

TOUCHTM USER GUIDE
Be Patient
Unlike eyeglasses, which correct your vision as soon
as you first put them on, hearing aids need some time
for proper adjustment. It may take several weeks or
months to completely adjust to your hearing aids, so try
to be patient. During the first week or so, try different
listening situations, such as one-on-one conversations
with family and friends and conversations with two
or three people at home or in quiet settings. Also, try
having conversations in noisier places like parties,
restaurants, meetings, and outdoors. Do not forget
that some situations are simply too noisy in general—
even for people without hearing loss. So, do not get
discouraged.
Consistent use of your hearing aid is strongly
recommended. In most cases, infrequent use does not
allow you to obtain the full benefit from your aid.
The use of a hearing aid is only a part of total hearing
rehabilitation, and may need to be supplemented by
auditory training and instruction in speech reading.

Turning Your Touch™ Hearing Aid On and Off
Before turning off your hearing aid, wipe away any
moisture with a soft cloth.
To turn off your hearing aid, open the battery door
slightly. You should feel a small click when the door is
open far enough to turn the hearing aid off, as pictured
below.
Fully close the door to turn the device back on.
Your hearing aid may be programmed to alert you
with SmartTones™when it turns on or off. Your hearing
healthcare provider will tell you if this feature is
enabled. Your hearing aid may also have a “power on”
delay. This allows you to insert the aid before it is fully
active.
To prolong battery life, turn off your hearing aid when
not in use.
