3rd session with the hearingcare professional: Fine-tuning
Your hearingcare professional will fine-tune your instruments according to your experiences. He/she will also answer some of your questions and give you general advice. Your hearing instrument now should have reached the stage where it is comfortably worn and offers the best possible intelligibility.
Long-term use
Continue to use your hearing instruments on a daily basis for several hours. In this way you will learn to use them best and benefit from them the most. Your hearing will be “trained” by the newly audible sounds and remains active, preventing a deterioration of the links between inner ear and brain.
You will also find out whether you would benefit from any complementary devices such as an FM system which would give you additional support in difficult situations with noise, reverberation or distance or make watching television and making phone-calls easier.
Whenever you have questions, do not hesitate to contact The Auditory Scene who will be happy to assist you. Next......Professionals.
