hearing devices - #21964
I am really struggling with this whole hearing devices thing. It's been a few months since I started to notice my hearing isn't what it used to be, especially in crowded places like cafes or family gatherings. It's like everyone else is having a normal convo, and I'm just lost, nodding awkwardly. I went to an audiologist, and they suggested I try hearing devices. At first, I thought maybe it was just a phase, you know? But now it feels like I actually need them. I got a pair of hearing devices last week, and I can't decide if they're working right or I'm just still getting used to them. Sometimes I feel like sounds are too loud, and other times, I can't catch the whispers at all. I'm wondering, do certain hearing devices work better for specific situations, or is it mostly trial and error? Like, should I adjust them when I go out or just leave them as is? I mean, do people really get used to wearing hearing devices quickly, or is this a gonna be a long adjustment? Any tips on living with them would be super helpful too!
