Motivation

Motivation is one of the most important factors in a successful hearing aid fitting. People who have decided that they need to hear

better and want a hearing aid will do well.

If you are only getting a hearing aid because someone else wants you to, you may be better off waiting a while until you feel more

comfortable about one. Or, if your hearing is mildly affected and gives you trouble in only one or two situations, a specific listening

device for the TV or phone may be a better option for you.



Another alternative is a short listening skills course to help you learn better communication skills.
