What should I expect during my first week with new hearing aids?

It's normal to experience an adjustment period when you first get hearing aids. Your brain needs time to relearn how to process sounds it may not have heard clearly in years. You might notice sounds seem louder or different than expected - this is completely normal. Start by wearing your hearing aids for a few hours each day in quiet environments, gradually increasing wear time as you become more comfortable. Most people adjust within 2-4 weeks with consistent use.
