Your hearing aid(s) may look like one of these:

A h aring aid cannot giv you p rf ct h aring but th y should

h lp you to h ar v ryday sounds lik clocks ticking, birds

singing, tc.

Th aid(s) should also mak sp ch a bit cl ar r for you, so you

don’t hav to list n as hard. It should h lp you h ar wh n

p opl ar sp aking to you and giv you mor confid nc .

In noisy plac s th background nois will still b th r as it is for

som on who has normal h aring. You will probably find that it

is h lpful to watch p opl ’s fac s in noisy plac s lik high str ts

and r staurants.

You may still find it difficult to follow what p opl ar saying

and, if both ars ar impair d, w aring two aids may h lp you

to focus b tt r on what you want to list n to.

Frequently asked questions

Will I have normal hearing with hearing aids in?

No, th h aring aids can only work with th h aring that you hav

l ft. It will sound strang to start off with, but with p rs v ranc it

will sound mor natural. It should tak th strain out of list ning

though.

Will my own voice change by wearing hearing aids?

It is v ry common that your own voic may sound slightly diff r nt

to what you ar us d to h aring, this is b caus you hav b n us d

to h aring your own voic with a h aring loss. Wh n th aid is

initially fitt d th sound of your own voic can sound a littl strang

as it is now b ing amplifi d. Your own voic may app ar a littl

qui t r to oth rs.

What if I don’t like the sound of my own voice?

To start with, your voic may sound unfamiliar to you but aft r 2-6

w ks this should subsid with r gular us of th h aring aids. For

som pati nts this may tak long r than 2-6 w ks.

Is there anything else that could help, as well as

a hearing aid?

Y s, additional quipm nt for th t l vision, t l phon and doorb ll

is availabl . Pl as ask th Audiology D partm nt for advic .
