“I ONLY need to wear my hearing aid when I go out”

“Is it important to hear the subtle sounds eg. Air

conditioner, footsteps, people moving around..?”

“I tried using hearing aid, but, all I hear is NOISES”

Did you know “the majority of hearing is done in the

brains”…

If an aid wearer only wears it occasionally, the brain

has no idea or rather has forgotten what to do with

these newly produced noises & stimuli but the

constant use helps to eliminate this over stimulation

effect and sounds become natural and not annoying

anymore.
