With the increase of age, many elderly people gradually lose their hearing. After wearing a hearing aid, they always feel that the sound is unnatural and abnormal. So how do the elderly adapt to hearing aids?

Language is the high-level neural activity of the human brain, and its acceptance and cognition is the active process of human beings. For the elderly, wearing a hearing aid first requires an adaptation period to perform an appropriate training. Wearing a period of time can overcome the unnatural and unaccustomed phenomenon of the initial sound, improve the social social ability of the hearing aid wearer, and enhance the hearing aid. effect.

1, telling the elderly, it is difficult to hear each word after wearing a hearing aid. As long as you can listen and communicate, you don’t have to achieve 100% speech recognition rate. It is advisable to use a close-range (within 1m) to reduce the voice of the language.

2, determination and patience are the guarantees for good hearing. I started to talk face-to-face with my family at home. The voice of my family should be slow and clear. The sentence should be simple and easy to understand. The attitude should be patient and kind, so that the old man feels warm. When you understand the 80% conversation, you can improve your speaking speed. Be careful not to let the elderly fatigue, and avoid talking to the elderly for a long time.

3, because of the difference between the sound of the hearing aid and the sound that was originally heard, it is necessary to adapt to a period of time and start wearing 1~3 hours every day. 3 gradually increases the wearing time within months, and can wait until you can hear your own speech and outdoor sound. Talk to people until you wear them all day.

4, because the senile hearing loss of the affected side ear is in a quiet state for a long time, once you hear the various sounds of the outside world after wearing the hearing aid, you can’t adapt at the moment, so don’t touch the noisy environment at once, you must first use the hearing aid in a quiet environment to adapt. Then touch the noise environment, and at the same time, learn to concentrate on listening to the sound you want to hear, and separate the sound you want to hear from the background sound.

5, listening to your own voice after the initial hearing aid is louder than listening to the outside world, sometimes you can’t even hear your own voice. You should practice reading and control your pronunciation every day.

6, the longer the hearing declines, the more you lose the ability to listen to the language in a noisy environment, and you need to learn this ability again.

7, when talking to a lot of people, only listens to the voice of a speaker and is as close as possible to him. Don’t be ashamed of asking to talk to others.

8, after a period of training, listen to the radio and TV broadcasts, because these recordings are not natural sounds, and the speed is fast, as long as you understand the contents of the speech.

In summary, wearing a hearing aid is a process that requires less time and less environment, from simple to complex, and the family should actively assist the elderly to better adapt to the hearing aid.
