We understand that you're looking for fast, effective solutions.At Amplifon, we focus on providing trusted expertise and clear guidance to ensure you maximise the performance of your new hearing aid technology.

Yes, you should wear your hearing aids at home for several hours a day, especially when you first get them.
Wearing your hearing aids at home is the most important step for successfully retraining your brain to process sounds it hasn’t heard clearly for some time. This quiet, familiar environment helps you adjust efficiently without the stress of external noise.
Your brain needs consistent input to successfully adapt to the new clarity provided by modern hearing aids.
One of the biggest hurdles with new devices is getting used to the sound of your own voice and the normal background noises of your environment.
When you wear your hearing aids around the house, you allow your brain to recalibrate to sounds like the fridge humming, footsteps, or the air conditioner. This is critical for getting comfortable with your new hearing aid technology.
Hearing loss often leads to auditory deprivation, meaning the areas of your brain responsible for processing sound become understimulated.
Wearing your devices all the time helps activate and stimulate these areas, contributing to your overall cognitive health. When you're home, you can hear a conversation in the kitchen or the doorbell ring, keeping you engaged with your environment.
If you feel like your device needs a slight tweak or hearing aid adjustment, wearing them consistently at home gives you the clearest picture of what needs to change.
During your ongoing follow up sessions with an Amplifon expert, you can accurately report how you hear familiar sounds, allowing our audiologists to make precise, targeted changes to your device programming. This guarantees you get the most out of your solution.

Most audiologists recommend wearing new hearing aids for at least 6 to 8 hours a day, building up to a full day as quickly as comfortable.
For new users, you could start with a short block of time (1 to 2 hours) and gradually increase use by an hour each day until you can comfortably wear them all waking hours. This step-by-step approach ensures you can comfortably adapt.
If you are currently researching which device is right for you, remember that we offer a free trial period on many of our advanced hearing aids. This gives you the ultimate, risk-free chance to test them in your home environment.

No, wearing properly fitted hearing aids should not cause vertigo (a sensation of dizziness or spinning).
If you experience dizziness, vertigo, or light-headedness after beginning to wear hearing aids, it is critical to contact your Amplifon audiologist immediately. This is usually a sign that the volume or balance needs to be adjusted, or that there is an unrelated medical issue that needs attention. Our certified experts are here to provide solutions and adjustments.
Generally, no, you should not wear standard hearing aids in the shower unless they are specifically certified as fully waterproof (which is rare).
While many modern hearing aids are water-resistant and can handle sweat or light rain, the constant stream and high humidity of a shower can cause damage. Always remove your devices before showering, swimming, or entering a sauna to protect your new hearing aid technology.
At Amplifon, you'll find hearing solutions that range from almost invisible styles that fit discreetly inside the ear, to those that sit snugly behind the ear. You can even select devices that connect wirelessly to your smartphone.
The best way to see the practical difference a hearing aid makes in your life is to try one for yourself—at home, risk-free.
We are ready to support you with the expert guidance you need for seamless results.
