The first week with hearing aids can feel strange, even when everything is going well.
For some types of hearing loss, this comment is very common: “My own voice sounds weird. It is too loud and kind of echoey.” They were worried something was wrong.
It's kind of like getting used to new glasses. 👓 At first, everything feels off, and then your brain settles in, and it starts to feel normal.
So we checked the fit, reviewed what causes that sensation, and made the right adjustments. Some of it is your brain adapting to sound again, and some of it is settings and comfort tweaks that we can dial in at follow-ups.
The win was that their voice started to sound normal again, comfort improved, and they felt confident sticking with the process!
Being fit with a new hearing aid prescription takes time! 🦻 At Perth Hearing & Tinnitus Clinic, we love making time to make sure you are comfortable with your new prescription!
