This type of aid is suitable for hearing losses ranging from mild to severe. In boneconduction, sounds are conducted by vibration through a unit placed against the mastoid bone behind the ear. Some individuals are able to put on their hearing aid and hear better at once, while others need time to adjust to the hearing aid. When using a hearing aid for the first time, some people may decide that a hearing aid is a nuisance and a bother and not worth the trouble. As a result, money may be wasted because the hearing aid is purchased and not used.
Adjustment is the key here.
To give you adjustment time, most hearing aid dispensers offer a trial period. This period can range from two weeks to several months. This will give you an opportunity to use the aid in different settings. Within a few weeks you should know whether or not the hearing aid is working adequately for you. Although some dispensers may charge a small rental fee, which in many cases is applied to the purchase price of the hearing aid, a trial period is the way for you to make an intelligent decision about the aid.
