earing aid - #21248

Aayan

I am really struggling with this earing aid situation. A few weeks ago, I noticed my hearing was getting worse, and after a bunch of tests, the audiologist recommended I should start using a earing aid. At first, I was totally resistant to the idea of wearing one, I mean, does it make me old or something? Anyway, I finally decided to go ahead and try it out, thinking maybe it could help. But it’s been rough! The first two days, I felt like I was hearing all these weird sounds that I hadn’t noticed before like the ticking of a clock or even the refrigerator humming, which was very distracting. I thought I was adjusting, but now it’s been a week and I’m still getting these annoying feedback sounds if I tilt my head, like a weird whistling noise. Is this normal with a earing aid? I’m worried I might not be fitting it right or maybe it needs tweaking??? do other people experience this? Shouldn’t it just work without all these issues? I just wanna feel normal and enjoy conversations again without all this extra noise! Anyone have any tips on how to make this earing aid experience better?
