Adjusting to your hearing aids takes time, and top audiologists recommend allowing at least three weeks for your brain to adapt. To ease this transition, follow this gradual adjustment schedule:
 

Week 1: Begin by wearing your hearing aids for 1-2 hours per day while going about your normal routine at home. This helps your ears get used to the sensation. It's normal to experience some irritation or discomfort at first.

Week 2: Start wearing your hearing aids outdoors, gradually increasing usage to 3-4 hours per day. As your ears adjust, you’ll begin noticing subtle sounds you may not have heard before.

Week 3: By now, you should feel more comfortable using your hearing aids in various settings. You’ll be able to engage in conversations at any volume—whether at a bustling restaurant or in the workplace. At this stage, your hearing aids will feel like a natural part of your daily life.

By following this schedule, you’ll ensure a smooth and comfortable transition to improved hearing!
