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.

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 lip reading.

Turning Your Hearing Aid On and Off
The On/Off switch for your hearing aid is integrated into
the battery compartment door.
When the battery compartment is fully closed the
hearing aid is turned on.
Turn your hearing aid off by opening the battery
compartment until the battery no longer touches the
contacts. In that position, the power is off.
To prolong battery life, turn your hearing aid off when
not in use.

Start Up Delay
Your hearing aid may have a delayed start up feature,
which allows you to insert your hearing aid without
creating feedback or whistling.
This feature can be activated by your hearing
healthcare provider and set to meet your individual time
requirements for putting on the hearing aid.
When this feature is activated, closing the battery
compartment turns the hearing aid on and begins the
start up countdown. You will hear a series of beeps
while the countdown is in process. Position the hearing
aid in your ear. After several seconds, the hearing aid
will turn on and you will hear the “power on” tones play,
indicating the hearing aid is fully activated.
