Millions of Americans know just how frustrating to not be able hear well: it’s a situation that can become so difficult to bear and so problematic that it may lead to quite significant physical and emotional anguish. It is most definitely a predicament to be confronted, and thanks to the advanced technology going into today’s hearing aids that process is easier to undertake than ever before. Nonetheless, the road to improved hearing can be fairly long for certain patients and it most certainly demands a good deal of patience to be transited. Here, let’s take a look at what the essential steps in this process really are, and go over some basic information to make each of them that much faster and more bearable.
The firs step in the process involves acceptance. Despite the fact that as many as 1 in 10 persons are likely to have hearing loss of one degree or another, many people in such circumstances do not want to admit it. Many times it is out of fear that there will be no way to improve the situation, and thankfully modern technology has proven that that is almost always NOT the case—so take heart and accept your condition and start planning to get over it.
You will want to make sure, once you have verified that you really do have hearing loss, that the cause isn’t something that can be solved without needing to recur to hearing aids. Visit your personal physician and verify that the cause of your audio loss isn’t something like a tumor or even simply excess buildup of ear wax, both of which have been known to limit the sound perception of many patients.
From there, and supposing that no such solution is applicable and that a hearing aid will need to enter the picture, get referred to a reputable and professional audiologist. This is where the dirty details of your audio loss will emerge, and where a specific solution will be able to be narrowed down. In this step of the process, you will discover exactly what frequencies of sound you do and do not register properly, how much amplification you actually require, and other aspects of the problem. Furthermore, a precise impression of your ear canal will be taken so as to identify its contours and to identify an aid that fits snugly and comfortably within it.
Though on occasion a person finds just the right kind of aid on the first try, in reality most patients will end up trying a few different products and need special fitting sessions before they settle on a given product. This step in the process is where the most patience is needed, and it is a good idea to consult as to trial periods to avoid spending more money than necessary during this phase. Don’t fall into any too-good-to-be-true traps here, and realize that no hearing aid will fully restore your sound perception to perfect levels. If you can make it through this step, then you are practically done with the entire process.
