Ask The Expert - Question 19

 
 

How long does it take to get used to hearing aids?

 

 
 

It depends on a number of factors. First of all, you could almost say that people never get fully used to hearing aids because they never restore hearing to it's natural state. But, as a rough rule, between three to six months sounds about right for most of my patients, providing that they were wearing them full time during the period. I think another factor is the time the person went without hearing aids after having developed a hearing loss. Those that wait years and years to get hearing aids likely take a longer time adjusting to the new sounds of the world than those that get hearing aids sooner into their hearing loss.
