Rehabilitating to new sounds

It takes 3-9 months to adapt to hearing aids:
Many new hearing aid wearers will not appreciate this and will quickly become detached from their hearing aids, choosing to wear them less frequently or not at all. Hearing aids are far more challenging to get used to than, say, contact lenses. A good provider will have anticipated this mid-term problem. Long term wearers will often adopt negative views about their hearing aids. A good provider will be at hand to counter these thoughts!
Quite unlike any other item you will ever purchase, the switched-on consumer will buy a long-term service contract within the price of hearing aids. A good provider will be of sound enough character and / or sufficiently well-managed to see the business advantages of keeping in touch with you in the long term. You need to assess your chosen provider and trust him/her to look after you for years to come.
