Knowing What you Want
Identify your hearing needs.
Today’s hearing aids are programmed by computer and have so many different features that the hearing clinician needs to know what is important to you so that the hearing aid can be appropriately programmed to meet your individual needs.
Consider the places you feel you are hearing well. This might be; in quiet having a one-to-one conversation, where you can see the person your speaking to and watch facial expression, some lip reading and body language.
Consider where you feel you may be experiencing some difficulty. This might be;
a conversation with someone where you may not be able to see their face. ie. as the driver in a car, you need to pay attention to the road and cannot turn to face your passenger to hear what they are saying properly. There is also the road-noise and vehicle noise to contend with.
Or;
on the telephone - mobile phone technology has made us accessible 24 hours a day 7 days a week. No longer do we “duck” to the shops and are uncontactable whilst we are out. We take phone calls in all kinds of places, and all kinds of background noise.
Knowing where you want to hear better will make it easier for you and your hearing clinician to come up with a solution that works for you.
