Hearing Expectations
Set Appropriate Expectations
It is important that you have the right expectations
regarding your hearing instruments. Hearing instru-
ments will give you better hearing, but they are not a
cure for hearing loss.
People whose expectations are too high (“I thought they
would make my hearing normal”) are likely to be
disappointed and may give up.
Hearing Instruments Can:
· Help you hear and understand better in most
situations.
· Allow you to participate more in group situations and
meetings.
Hearing Instruments Cannot:
· Give you normal hearing.
Hearing Instruments May Not:
· Let you hear very soft sounds.
· Block ALL background noises – especially in
noisy situations. Even people without hearing
loss may have difficulty hearing in the presence
of background noise.
