Many people are confused during the first few months of using a hearing aid. Many may think the device is not working, not fitted properly, or perhaps even making things worse. But the audiology experts at Audiology Unlimited in Maryland want you to keep a few important things in mind during the first month of hearing aid use.

Oftentimes it is hard to know whether or not your hearing aid is really in need of repair, which is why the initial trial period is so important. Most hearing aid devices are given to patients with a 30-day trial period involving a money-back guarantee if they experience no benefit.

However it is important that you give your hearing aids the chance to work, as many new patients require a period of adjustment before they start to hear the auditory results they are looking for. This adjustment period is known as acclimatization and can take up to four months in some special cases.

If in the first month you have heard no improvement in your hearing with your hearing aid then there may be an issue that requires repair. If you hear no improvement when using hearing aids, work with your hearing healthcare professional to see if the instrument can be adjusted to fit your needs.
