Hearing Aid Wearers

[bednobs]

hi, i have received my first hearing aid today, and am finding it all a bit overwhelming.  how long will it take me to get used to it? i am also slightly annoyed my phone which i only got this year does not enable streaming on the hearing aid, although it is compatible with the app, meaning i can control the volume from the phone (useful as my disabled hands are finding it difficult to press the volume button on the aid itself)

You'll be surprised how quickly you adapt to it, your brain will soon start doing its job and filter out unwanted noise.

You'll be enjoying the birdsong in the spring.  

Try not to turn your hearing aid down except for unusual situations, you need to give yourself time to adjust.

needs a lot of time and everything will sound awful then it all calms down again. good luck bednobs.

Yes it does have Bluetooth

Switch in bluetooth in settings and you can get phone conversations straight to your aids. Also if you play music on your phone, that will go straight to your aids also.

My phone is not compatible.
