It’s natural to feel a mix of excitement and maybe a little anxiety about the adjustment period ahead. You are likely wondering, "Will I sound normal?" or "Will I be able to chat easily at the next family dinner?". Getting used to hearing aids means retraining yourself to hear sounds you’ve missed—and sometimes those sounds seem loud or unfamiliar at first.
At Amplifon, we believe hearing well is about staying fully connected to the people and moments you favourite. We offer trusted expertise and a supportive approach to ensure your adoption is smooth, leading to a lifetime of shared, joyful experiences.
No, hearing aids are not hard to get used to, but patience and wearing them consistently may help accelerate the transition during the first few weeks. The modern new hearing aids we provide at Amplifon are highly advanced, but your brain needs time to adjust to hearing the full spectrum of sounds again. Think of it like learning a new language: you start small, practice often, and the reward is being able to join the conversation seamlessly. We are here to guide you through every step of this positive change.
Most first-time hearing aid users feel comfortable with the sound and fit within 2 to 4 weeks, with significant improvement in noisy, social settings happening over the first 30 days. It takes time because your hearing aids are delivering sounds that your brain has been ignoring or compensating for. During the first 30 days, your brain starts processing these sounds correctly again. You will typically move from feeling self-conscious to feeling fully confident and ready to re-engage with your community and loved ones.
Your first day with hearing aids should be simple, quiet, and positive. Start small to avoid overwhelming your senses.
The difference between successful adoption and frustration often comes down to the quality of professional support you receive. Our ongoing care is designed specifically to make this journey effortless for you.
Our experts use their experience and the latest technologies to understand your hearing issues and recommend the best solution tailored to your needs.
