Many sounds in daily life cannot be heard, such as the rubbing of leaves, the singing of birds, and the conversation of family and friends. , Telephone ringing, knocking on the door.If things go on like this, the brain will not process these inaudible sounds, and people will gradually forget how they sound.Hearing aid is an amplifying device that can amplify the sound signal to ensure that the hearing impaired can hear the sound to the utmost extent.And when you first put on a hearing aid, you will hear a lot of sounds at once, but the brain has not processed so much sound information for too long, so you will feel that the sound sounds uncomfortable or too loud.

      The hearing aid amplifies the sound so that the ear can hear the smaller sound that was not heard before, but it is not really heard, is it really clear?This is actually the work of the ears and the brain.Hearing aids are mainly responsible for amplifying the sound so that the ears can hear it.

      The adaptation period of hearing aids generally takes about one month. Hearing aids should be worn in a quiet environment at the beginning, and the time should be gradually increased. Use 2 hours a day for the first week, 4 hours a day for the second week, and 6 a day for the third week. Hours, 8 hours a day in the fourth week, the time used every day can be calculated cumulatively, take it gradually, and try not to wear a hearing aid to watch TV or make phone calls during the adaptation period.Hearing aids should be waterproof, moisture-proof, drop-proof, shock-proof, and sweat-proof.
