What Can You Do to Keep Your Hearing Aid

where it should be?

A hearing device can help give you the

replacement hearing you need when dealing

with partial or total hearing loss. There are

many different styles and sizes to fit

everyone from babies up to adults.

Regardless of how old you are or what size

and shape your ear canal is, your hearing

instrument needs to be able to fit securely in your ear.

You need to begin by choosing a hearing device that fits into your

ear securely and provides you with the maximum amount of

comfort. Hearing aids that go in the ear will rest nicely inside of

your outer ear. They are best suited for adults because children’s

ears are constantly growing and changing shape as they go

through adolescence. A behind the ear hearing aid sits right

behind your ear, but they will need one of the plastic ear molds

that sit inside of your outer ear to help them stay in place. Behind

the ear hearing instruments are fine for anyone because the

molds are inexpensive and very easy to replace.

Canal aids will fit inside of your ear canal, and they come in three

different sizes. This particular type of hearing instrument is made

to fit your specific ear based on your own size and shape of your

ear canal. Since they are smaller in size, they may be a little bit

more difficult to get them into place. Adjusting and removing

them can prove to be just as challenging. Another downfall is that

you may not be able to connect any additional hearing devices to

them.

Make sure that you allow plenty of time for your body to adjust to

the fit of your new hearing device. A lot of the newer hearing

instruments on the market are extremely lightweight and very

versatile design features, which can cause a lot of people to

become worried about the hearing aid slipping out of their ear.

Discussing your concerns with your audiologist or hearing aid

dispenser is the best way to start the road to wearing hearing

aids. They may also recommend that you start off wearing your

hearing device a couple of hours each day. As time progresses,

you should slowly increase the length of time you keep your

hearing aid in every day.

Having a consultation with your hearing aid specialist or

audiologist about how your hearing aid fits is one of the first

steps. Not all of the hearing instruments will fit into the ear canal

the same way, but anytime you experience pain or discomfort

you need to discuss this with your hearing aid specialist or

audiologist. Your hearing healthcare professional will be able to

make the necessary adjustments to help the hearing aid from

falling out of your ear. Depending upon how your hearing device

is fitting inside of your ear, your hearing aid specialist or

audiologist may need to give you a different type of hearing

device to be able to fit inside of your ear.
