ADAPTING
It takes time for the brain to adjust to new hearing aids. In many cases, the hearing aid is not the instant solution we wish. There may be sounds that have not been heard in a long time, and the brain will need to re-learn how to recognize the sounds. At first, it may seem that you are hearing everything! -- both what you like and what you do not like. Over time the brain can adapt, although to some extent adaptation depends on age, physical wellness, and the time elapsed since normal hearing.
Nothing can replace normal hearing, but with new technology and good education from a caring hearing professional about what to expect, you can enhance your life immeasurably by improving your ability to hear and communicate with family and friends.
