new sounds may feel unusual at rst, but most people nd that they feel more

This product will not restore normal hearing and will not prevent or improve a
hearing impairment resulting from organic conditions. This product is designed
to help you make greater use of your remaining hearing ability. You should
keep in mind that it can take time to become accustomed to new sounds.
For best results, practice using the hearing aids as much as possible. In most
cases, infrequent use of hearing aids doesn’t permit you to attain full benet
from them.
The use of a hearing aid is only part of hearing habilitation and may need to be
supplemented by auditory training and instruction in lipreading.
It is a good health practice for a person with a hearing loss to have a medical
evaluation by a licensed physician (preferably a physician who specializes in
diseases of the ear). Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear
are often referred to as otolaryngologists, otologists, or otorhinolaryngologists.
The purpose of a medical evaluation is to assure that all medically treatable
conditions that may affect hearing are identied and treated.
