Now you are ready to train the ten-step course. When you progress from one step to another, you will understand the "fun of using hearing AIDS", because your life will become more meaningful, and you will participate in various activities again and regain your confidence. In short, hearing AIDS will be your lifelong companion and your passport to a better life.
Step 1: Avoid hearing difficulties.
Start the "Listening Training" course in a familiar environment, read the operating instructions carefully, and be familiar with the use of hearing AIDS. In the first few weeks, don't wear hearing AIDS in noisy places, such as supermarkets or airports.
Step 2: slowly increase the time of wearing hearing AIDS.
At first, don't use hearing AIDS for too long. In the first few days, you should not wear hearing AIDS for more than one to three hours. When you feel nervous or tired, you should take off your hearing aid and rest for a few hours. During the trial period, it is very important that you wear hearing AIDS for a long time every day, so that you can gradually adapt to the sound of the surrounding environment. Using hearing AIDS frequently in different situations can let you know how to tap your hearing potential and how to enjoy the best benefits.
Step 3: Control the sound
Don't turn up the volume too high. Many times, this will not improve the ability to understand the dialogue, but will lead to the distortion of the voice. Don't try to make a slight noise in the distance. Please remember that even people with good hearing can't do this; At this stage, if you can understand, it is enough to have a general conversation within 1 to 2 meters. Once you have more experience in wearing hearing AIDS, you can adjust the volume control when you need a higher volume.
The first step to the third step requires a certain degree of self-discipline and self-control. If you are self-disciplined, you can make remarkable progress every day. In a few weeks, your hearing aid will become your indispensable friend.
Step 4: Adapt to the use of hearing AIDS.
Ideally, your hearing aid should become a part of your body, just like hyperopia glasses, but this process is step by step, and it takes some efforts to treat your hearing aid as a friend, not some "external device". The following methods can help you get through this process smoothly.
Ear mold-Whether your hearing aid is worn in the ear or hung outside, the key to successful use of hearing aid is whether the customized plastic ear mold worn in the ear can make you feel comfortable, if you feel uncomfortable or stressed. And if the pressure is not eliminated in a short time, should I ask you? Hearing aid fitter, he will make the necessary changes for you.
Tired-hearing the sound again with a hearing aid may make you feel tired at first. Just because you are not used to listening like this, don't force yourself to let your hearing function gradually recover. If you feel tired or nervous, you might as well have a rest and make a little progress every day.
Focus-practice focusing on what you want to hear, which also applies to people with good hearing. But it is more important for people who use hearing AIDS. The way is to practice separating the sound you want to hear from the sound from the hearing aid. Although it is not easy to learn, you can learn, which is also the best advice we can give you.
Your own voice-chances are you won't recognize your own voice, so be prepared. This sound is strange to you. However, this is completely normal, because you are listening to your voice correctly through the hearing aid, and you can control and adjust your way of speaking and pronouncing. So it is a good practice method to practice reading aloud by yourself every day during this training period.
Step 5: Learn to listen again in a noisy environment.
The world is a noisy place, and? Hearing AIDS need to be used in noisy environments. Just like other people with normal hearing, they can concentrate on what they want to hear to suppress disturbing noise. However, if your hearing is impaired for a long time, you will temporarily lose this ability. Furthermore, through hearing AIDS, you will hear all kinds of sounds or noises that you have forgotten, such as the sound of shoes falling to the ground, the horn and whistle of cars, and the collision of plates. On the other hand, you will hear pleasant sounds, such as children's laughter, birds singing, music and the jingle of ice cubes. Your innate task is to live happily in these two voices. As long as you practice concentration and train yourself to eliminate those annoying sounds, your task can be completed. In the first few months of training, you should avoid listening in noisy places. However, you need to keep training and practicing, and then you will gain something.
Step 6: Discuss in groups.
If several people speak in the group discussion, even people with normal hearing will encounter difficulties. So we can understand why most people who wear hearing AIDS are embarrassed to listen in more groups. An effective way is to shorten the distance between yourself and the speaker. Stay close to the person you want to listen to, pay attention to his lips, focus on only one speaker, and don't be distracted by others. People who have experience in wearing hearing AIDS can achieve amazing hearing effects in this case.
7. Public buildings
Hearing aid users need to make some adjustments to adapt to listening in theaters, churches, conference rooms or other public buildings. The easiest way is to sit in a place with ideal sound transmission conditions, usually in front or in the middle (but not too close to the speaker). It would be better if we could see the speaker's face. Many public buildings are equipped with hearing AIDS for listening and understanding. There is a list of buildings equipped with this equipment. If not, you need to call the building to find out.
Step 8: Radio and TV programs
The sound played by radio and television is a mechanical reproduction, not a natural sound, which may be difficult to understand. In addition, many journalists speak too fast, and actors often need to use different accents when playing roles. In addition, the story itself may need to be quiet or whispered. So, if you find it difficult to listen to news broadcast or commercial production, listen to music programs first. After a period of time, just focus on a paragraph of meaning that the speaker wants to express, instead of trying to catch every word. Then, your ability to listen to radio or TV programs with hearing AIDS will be improved.
Step 9: the speaker of the hearing aid
Telephone sound sensor- Hearing aid users need extra volume when using the phone, or want to completely eliminate background noise. Telephone sound sensors can be connected to hearing AIDS, which is of great help to users. The operation method is as follows: (1) Turn on the T gear (2) Increase the volume (3) Place the receiver in the best position on the hearing aid. After answering the phone, remember to turn the switch back to the M position and turn down the volume.
Step 10: Stereo (binaural) with two hearing AIDS.

In fact, users are very excited about the great improvement in hearing provided by binaural hearing. We suggest that you should consult an audiologist or?
