How Much Does United Healthcare Pay For Hearing Aids?

Does United Healthcare Insurance Cover the Cost of Hearing Aids? Many of our patients now qualify for Medicare, but the basic Medicare plan does not cover any hearing costs. However, you are covered if you have certain riders – supplemental insurance – with your basic United Healthcare plan. All United Healthcare’s Medicare Advantage plans in Texas allow for:

a covered yearly hearing evaluation. $375 to $1,425 copay toward each hearing aid (up to two per year) if it’s provided by United Healthcare Hearing. The copay amount is based on the hearing aids’ style and features. Prior authorization is required.

By partnering with the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), United Healthcare’s Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans cover portions of copay, out-of-pocket, hearing exams, and hearing aid costs. AARP Medicare Advantage Plan 1 (HMO-POS) – No copay is necessary to see a primary care provider, and there is a $35 copay charge to see a specialist. AARP Medicare Advantage Choice (PPO ) – No copay is necessary to see a primary care provider, and copay is $40 to see a specialist.

There is a $10 monthly premium to pay and no referral is required. Out-of-network coverage is available, and the in-network out-of-pocket maximum is $6,700. AARP Medicare Advantage Patriot (HMO-PPO) – No copay is necessary to see a primary care provider and $35 to see a specialist.

• There is no monthly premium to pay and no referral is required.
• Out-of-network coverage is available, and the in-network out-of-pocket maximum is $5,500.
• AARP Medicare Advantage Plan 2 (HMO ) – Copay is $5 to see a primary care provider and $45 to see a specialist.
• There is no monthly premium to pay and no referral is required.

Out-of-network coverage is available, and the in-network out-of-pocket maximum is $5.900. United Healthcare offers one Part C plan that is not in partnership with AARP. United Healthcare Medicare Advantage Choice (Regional PPO) – A $10 copay is necessary to see a primary care provider and $50 to see a specialist.

What is the warranty on United Healthcare hearing aids?

Payment How much do hearing aids cost? There are many factors in hearing aid costs including the level of technology, professional guidance and post-purchase support for hearing care, adjustments and repairs. Your lifestyle and amount of hearing loss may impact the features you need to leave you with a result you’ll be satisfied with.

Hearing aids can help slow down the loss of speech understanding that occurs with hearing loss. They could also improve your quality of life and relationships with family and friends. Many insurance plans include hearing aid coverage. Depending on your coverage, some or all of the cost may be covered.

A simple adjustment or conversation with a professional may help. If you still have trouble after connecting with one of our hearing professionals, you have the duration of your trial period to make a final decision.

Call the service team at 1-855-523-9355, TTY 711 Monday–Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Hearing aid batteries What’s the difference between batteries and a device that has a rechargeable battery? Your hearing aid includes a one-year supply of batteries or a charging case, depending on the device.

When your initial battery supply runs out, you can purchase a replacement online from UnitedHealthcare Hearing. A rechargeable device means the hearing aid battery is built in and the device does not require replacing batteries. Set your hearing aids in the charger each night and they will be ready for use in the morning.

How long do disposable batteries last? Depending on your usage and device model, batteries will last anywhere from 3-10 days. If your battery lasts less than 3 days, try using a dry cotton swab to wipe the door and the battery. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, call for assistance.

What if my disposable batteries aren’t working? The tab or sticker must be removed from new batteries. Expose the batteries to air for at least 1 minute. If you are still having issues, try using a dry cotton swab to wipe the front and back of the battery door to remove moisture. You can also use a dry cloth to wipe the battery or remove sticker residue.

If this doesn’t resolve the issue, call for assistance. I’m having a difficult time changing the battery. Try using a brush with a magnet for battery changing. Or, see if there is a family member or friend to assist with changing out the battery. How long do rechargeable batteries last? Your rechargeable battery should allow your hearing aid to be used for a full day (16 hours) on a full charge.

Practice placing your hearing aids in the charger each night so they are ready for use in the morning. What if my rechargeable hearing aids are not charging? Check to be sure the contacts on both the hearing aid and the charger are clear of debris. Also confirm that the hearing aids are placed securely in the charger.

Check charging cables for damage or fraying. Hearing Tests What’s the difference between an online hearing test and a hearing test at a provider’s office? An online hearing test or screening can tell you how well you’re hearing and whether you should schedule an in-person hearing test with a hearing provider.

• An online screening requires you to wear headphones and listen to a variety of different tones and frequencies.
• This screening can help determine if a more thorough in-person examination with a professional is needed.
• A comprehensive hearing test is conducted by an audiologist or hearing care professional in person to fully assess your hearing.

The test can include looking in your ear for wax or abnormalities, listening to beeps and tones, repeating words in silence and in noise and possibly even trying hearing aids. After the test, the provider will determine if hearing loss exists, the extent of the loss and your treatment options.

Many people wait until they have symptoms of hearing loss to schedule a hearing test. Studies have shown that early identification and treatment of hearing loss may lead to an overall increased sense of wellness. I already have a hearing test. What do I do next? If you have a smartphone and have completed a hearing test within the last 6 months, upload a copy of your test (audiogram) now to see if you’re a candidate for virtual care.

Are the UnitedHealthcare Hearing network and the UnitedHealthcare Medical directory the same? The UnitedHealthcare Hearing network and UnitedHealthcare Medical directory are different networks. UnitedHealthcare Hearing contracts and supports a network of hearing professionals independent of the UnitedHealthcare Medical network.

While some providers may overlap, to access your hearing benefits or eligible savings, you must work with UnitedHealthcare Hearing or a UnitedHealthcare Hearing network provider by first contacting UnitedHealthcare Hearing. Should I call UnitedHealthcare Hearing or a hearing aid provider of my choice to get started? It’s important you begin your hearing journey by calling UnitedHealthcare Hearing.

The UnitedHealthcare Hearing team can help you find a provider and coordinate your care. Or sign in now to view providers and request an appointment. Hearing aid usage Why does my voice sound so loud? There is a phenomenon called the “occlusion effect,” which is the change you hear in your voice when your ears are plugged.

When your ears are plugged with wax, ear plugs or even properly functioning hearing aids, our voices sound louder and “booming.” People may notice it when they begin to wear hearing aids, change to new ones or make the transition from one to two hearing aids. Why does my voice sound sharp? Most people with hearing loss lose their ability to hear high-pitched sounds slowly and gradually.

When fit with hearing aids, those high-pitched sounds are restored. While these sounds will now enhance speech understanding, it is not unusual to perceive these sounds as sharp, or sometimes even shrill. With continued use of the hearing aids, the brain begins to adjust to the high-pitched sounds.

• You gradually begin to hear more clearly and feel more comfortable.
• In the meantime, turn the volume down as you adjust to hearing these sounds again.
• Why am I hearing background noise? If you are new to hearing aids, you will be sensitive to sounds you haven’t heard or haven’t heard as well for some time.

Continue to wear your hearing aids as much as possible to acclimate. Even people with normal hearing have a hard time hearing when there is background noise. Try reducing the distracting noise and get closer to the sound source or person speaking. Make sure you face the person speaking.

• Another option is to consider going to restaurants at less noisy times.
• If you find yourself in these environments regularly, consider asking your hearing provider about accessories for noise, such as companion microphones.
• Or visit our shopping page to browse and purchase compatible accessories.
• My device is uncomfortable or rubbing behind my ears.

Sometimes a custom device that sits in your ear will need to be re-molded or modified. Sometimes your ear is simply adjusting to its new hardware. If you are having discomfort, reach out to your provider either through UnitedHealthcare hearing or directly to determine if an in-person follow-up, or virtual visit is required.

• I’m hearing ringing and buzzing from the hearing aid.
• Is that normal? Ringing, buzzing, whistling or squealing from the hearing aids can happen if a hearing aid is not properly inserted in the ear, if the hearing aid is turned up too high or if there is something blocking the sound from reaching the eardrum like wax.

Start by reinserting the hearing aid and trying to adjust the volume. If that does not resolve the feedback, follow up with your provider to check for wax or issues with fit. Virtual care Is virtual care available across the country? Virtual care is currently offered anywhere in the U.S., except Washington D.C.

• We do not offer international virtual care currently.
• If you need to see a provider in-person for a hearing test, they may be able to offer virtual care follow-up.
• Be sure to ask when you call to schedule your hearing test.
• Do I need a hearing test for virtual care? Yes, to get started with virtual care you will need an in-person hearing test.

This is the first step in any hearing healthcare treatment plan, in-person or virtual. We can help you find a provider to complete the hearing test. Visit our provider search tool or give us a call at 1-855-523-9355, TTY 711 Monday–Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

1. CST. Am I eligible for virtual care? If you are looking to receive care from home or on the go, virtual care may be a convenient option.
2. To get started with virtual care, upload a copy of your hearing test results or call us at 1-855-523-9355, TTY 711 Monday–Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. CST.
3. We will review your hearing test results to make sure virtual care will work for you.

If you’re a good candidate for virtual care, you’ll need a smartphone and Bluetooth enabled device to get started. How does a hearing virtual visit work? After completing an in person comprehensive hearing test, you’ll have the opportunity to review your results, discuss your lifestyle and hearing needs, and get a personalized recommendation at a virtual consultation appointment.

Our experts will help you place your order. Your hearing aid(s) will be shipped to home within 10-14 business days of payment. Your provider will call you to schedule a fitting appointment where they will guide you through all the basics of getting started, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit. If you don’t hear from them, call to schedule your fitting appointment.

Do I need an appointment? Yes, an appointment is needed to review results and receive care with a licensed professional. What products are available through virtual care? Our virtual care program offers a variety of rechargeable behind-the-ear (BTE) and receiver-in-the canal (RIC) style hearing aids.

What’s the difference between virtual care and over-the-counter devices? Virtual care follows the more traditional way of receiving prescriptive hearing aids and includes the support and recommendation of a licensed hearing professional. You will be required to complete an in-person hearing test with a licensed hearing care professional before meeting virtually with one of our virtual care providers to discuss your options.

Your virtual care provider will offer follow-up care, adjustments and remote support from the comfort of your home. Unlike virtual care, the purchase of an over-the-counter hearing aid does not include the professional guidance and follow-up care of a licensed hearing care professional.

You can purchase directly from a website without a hearing test or clinical recommendation. Over-the-counter products are self-fitting. This means you will need to download an app to make any adjustments yourself. Any support varies by manufacturer. Creating an account Do I need to create an online account? When you create an online account at UHCHearing.com you will gain access to a personalized view of your insurance plan benefits and better understand your hearing coverage.

You will also be able to search for providers in your area, shop hearing aid devices and accessories, view costs based on your health plan and even submit a request for an appointment. What information do I need to register? We will need your basic demographic information, preferred contact details, and active insurance plan information, if applicable.

• What is my Member ID and why do I have to enter it? You can find your member ID number on your health plan ID card.
• Please enter the number as it appears on your card, including the dashes and zeroes.

We ask for this information in order to protect your privacy and display personalized benefit information. Over-the-Counter (OTC) Devices What are over-the-counter devices? Over-the-counter (OTC) devices are hearing aids that do not require a hearing test or provider visit.

1. A consumer can purchase an OTC hearing device independently through a retailer and adjust the OTC device through an app on a smartphone.
2. How much does an over-the-counter device cost? It’s important to know that your health plan benefit may not cover the cost of an over-the-counter (OTC) device at this time.

However, your plan benefit does cover a comprehensive hearing test, professional care and a prescription device starting at or below the cost of most OTC hearing devices. OTC devices will come in a variety of styles and features, as well as a variety of price points.

Are over-the-counter devices right for me? Over-the-counter (OTC) devices are best for mild to moderate hearing loss, and for those individuals who are comfortable navigating hearing aid set-up and configuration through an app on your smartphone. OTC devices may not be for everyone. We recommend you use your plan benefit to get a professional test and see if a prescription device is right for you.

Getting this test will make sure you find a hearing solution for your degree of hearing loss. Is a hearing test required? No, a hearing test is not required. However, a hearing test may inform you as to whether an over-the-counter device is a good option.

Will UnitedHealthcare Hearing accept spending accounts to pay for over-the-counter devices? At this time, the use of an HSA/FSA or HRA account to purchase hearing aids is not restricted. What is the difference between over-the-counter devices and headphones? Over-the-counter hearing devices are designed to help people with self-diagnosed hearing loss.

Headphones are designed to listen to media sources and amplify all sounds equally. I purchased an over-the-counter device from Jabra and need additional support. The Jabra Enhance plus app will guide you to pair your earbuds with an iOS device, get the optimal fit, personalize your hearing profile, register the product and give access to support tools.

Click Support and guides from the menu within the app for answers to common questions, troubleshooting your device, compatibility and more. How do I return or exchange my device? If you aren’t satisfied with your purchase or think your over-the-counter hearing device isn’t working properly, visit the website or call the manufacturer of your device and they will help you resolve the issue.

I purchased an over-the-counter device, but would like to try prescription hearing aids instead. If you are interested in working with a licensed hearing professional to obtain prescription hearing aids, call UnitedHealthcare Hearing at 1-855-523-9355, TTY 711 Monday–Friday 8 a.m.

To 8 p.m. CST. Our team will help get you connected with a provider to complete a comprehensive hearing test and a personalized recommendation. Do I need a hearing test to purchase an over-the-counter hearing device? A hearing test is not required to purchase an over-the-counter hearing device. But, if you haven’t had hearing aids before, meeting with a professional to diagnose and manage your hearing loss is a great first step towards better hearing.

Knowing how much hearing loss you have is a good indicator of whether an OTC device could be an effective treatment plan and leave you satisfied with your result. To determine if you may have hearing loss, start by taking the UnitedHealthcare Hearing online hearing test,

OTC hearing aids have fewer features and their performance may not be equivalent to similar prescription devices. OTC devices are self-serve, meaning you will set them up with a smartphone app and make all the adjustments on your own. Professional follow-up care or support depends on the individual manufacturer. OTC hearing aids have a shorter warranty period than traditional prescription devices.

How long does a hearing aid last?

Hearing aids, like everything else, have a finite lifespan. But there’s more to it than that. – Hearing aids can last anywhere from three years to seven — for some people, even longer. Variables affecting this lifespan include how well the instrument is built, how well it’s maintained, and how much wear and tear it experiences being worn in your ear for many hours a day.

Does medical aid cover hearing aids?

Is there financing for hearing aids? – A patient can either and pay upfront or take the hearing aid on “contract” just like a cellphone contract. You can also use your medical aid benefit to purchase one hearing aid and then finance the other, thereby allowing you to get the right level of technology that your audiologist is recommending, and you need.

Are hearing aids insured for loss?

This question has often come up by my patients when they are about to purchase a new pair of hearing aids. I usually just say to them to make sure to place their new hearing aids under their house & contents insurance. As you will see, this may not be enough.

What if the loss, damage or theft occurs outside of the house? What if the owner lives in a Nursing Home? This article will try and answer these questions and more. Hearing aids, being a tiny device, are easily lost or damaged. Being expensive devices, they can also be a target for theft. When you purchase a hearing aid, it will usually come with a 3-year manufacturer warranty which covers manufacturer defects only.

It will also usually come with a 12 month loss or damage provision exercised at the full discretion of the manufacturer (more details below). Hearing aids placed under your basic house and contents insurance can protect against damage or loss. However, if you only have the basic cover, the insurer will only replace the device if the damage or loss is due to a flood, fire, storm, theft or attempted theft AND if that device is below a certain value.

To insure your hearing aids against accidental loss or damage, you will need to increase your level of contents insurance to actually cover accidental loss or damage. You would also want to increase your cover to include hearing aids as a specified content which covers more valuable items. To insure against the loss or damage occurring outside of the home, most insurers will require you to increase your cover and specify that the hearing aids are a portable content,

Usually an excess of about $100 applies. Some insurers allow this portability to be up to 120 continuous days like when you are on holiday and will even cover you if your holiday is outside Australia. This means you don’t have to double up insurance by having them covered by your travel insurance.

Why are boots hearing aids so expensive?

Compare Our Prices to Boots Digital & Invisible Hearing Aids Boots HearingCare is one of the largest private suppliers of hearing aids in the UK. They have over 400 Boots Hearingcare shops nationwide. Boots hearing aids are actually provided by a franchise called David Ormerod Hearing Centres.

• This franchise is a Sonova Group company and in 2013 Boots Hearing Care acquired a 49% minority stake in the David Ormerod company.
• Sonova Group owns the hearing aid manufacturers Phonak and Unitron, along with the lesser-known names Hansaton, Advanced Bionics and Audio Nova Group.
• You might be wondering why we’re telling you this, but this financial investment from Boots HearingCare means that when you visit a Boots Hearing Care shop you may find that you are steered towards a hearing aid from either Phonak or Unitron.

Both of these manufacturers make some great hearing aids, however, there are in fact 8 main hearing aid manufacturers in total and you may find that a hearing aid from one other than Phonak or Unitron would be a better fit for you. Bearing this in mind you may find that visiting an independent private audiologist such as Your Hearing, may give you a better choice of hearing aids.

Boots hearing aids costs are generally comparable to many of the other multi-national chains of private audiologists. Boots’ digital hearing aid prices are divided into their Essentials range, which offers more basic hearing aids costing up to around £2,000 for two hearing aids. Or their Premium range which can cost over £3,000 for a pair.

However it is important to note that Boots hearing aids prices are nearly always higher than the hearing aids prices we offer at Your Hearing – along of course with the more independant advice that we guarantee to provide. This is because Boots have to include the overhead costs of large stores, expensive marketing and advertising campaigns, and the costs of Boots HearingCare’s numerous employees.

Obviously, the choice is yours, but you may find that Boots hearing aids will either cost you more than for the exact same aid from an independent private audiologist or if you feel that you are being offered a cheap deal from one of the Boots hearing aid offers, then ensure that you are being offered a choice from the full range of hearing aids available, not a model which is soon to be superseded as they may be trying to get rid of old stock.

At Your Hearing, we are committed to clearly stating which hearing aids feature old or new technology and making our recommendations based entirely on your needs. If you have recently had a test at Boots and want to get a second opinion about any advice you have been given, call us on 0800 567 7721,

1. Our phone lines are almost always manned by an audiologist.
2. Further information about Boots hearing aids Boots hearing aids choices include most of the different hearing aid types.
3. This includes Behind the Ear (BTE) and Receiver in Canal (RIC) hearing aids and also Boots hidden hearing aids, Boots invisible hearing aids and the rest of the full range of Boots digital hearing aids.

They also offer a full range of Boots hearing aid accessories such as hearing aid batteries, cleaning and maintenance supplies and hearing aid compatible mobile and home telephones. In a similar vein to the excellent aftercare package included with all Your Hearing, Boots the chemist hearing aids are available with a full aftercare package, which includes; follow up appointments, reassessments, six-monthly check ups and service appointments.

• Also following the example set by Your Hearing, at Boots Hearingcare you will pay the same price for the type of hearing aid that you prefer from your chosen range.
• So this means that Boots invisible hearing aids costs are the same as all of the other types of Boots hidden hearing aids or BTE or RIC versions.

Although again it is worth ensuring that you are being offered options from the full range of available hearing aids, not simply being steered towards those from Phonak and Unitron in whom Boots Hearing Care has a financial investment. Taking all of this into account, in general, we have always found that even when there are Boots hearing aid offers, Boots hearing aid sales, Boots half price hearing aids, Boots hearing aids with ⅓ off or Boots 2 for 1 hearing aids, Boots hearing aid prices are almost always higher than those that we offer at Your Hearing unless it is outdated technology they are selling, so be sure to check.

1. Boots hearing aids reviews and Boots hearing test reviews tend to be mixed.
2. Many customers rate Boots hearing aids, however, there are often concerns about Boots hearing aid prices, which as we have mentioned tend to be higher than those offered by independent private audiologists such as Your Hearing.

Boots hearing aid costs tend to be higher as they have the overheads of large stores, advertising campaigns and sales staff to include into their Boots hearing aid prices. Hearing aids at Boots can be bought by going into the store or booking your initial appointment at www.bootshearingcare.com.

Boots hearings aids offer both an online hearing check to get you started and also free in store hearing tests which will give you a more thorough view of your potential hearing requirements. Here at Your Hearing we find that online hearing tests are little more than a gimmick and so would prefer to connect you with one of our network of qualified independent local audiologists who will provide a full and thorough hearing test completely free of charge, either at their premises or many are happy to visit you at home.

This means that you know exactly what you are dealing with from the outset. Boots hearing care grew out of the success of Boots opticians; hearing aids then seemed like a natural step. Many people believe that Boots hearing aids prices and Boots invisible hearing aid prices, in particular, are some of the cheapest on the high street.

1. However, hearing aids from Boots will cost you more than if you buy from an independent private audiologist such as Your Hearing.
2. Your Hearing is also not tied to any specific manufacturers, such as Boots Hearing Care is with Phonak and Unitron.
3. Have any questions? We can support you locally Call us free on to speak to one of our audiologists who will be happy to help you with any hearing healthcare enquiries.

How much does a hearing aid cost in the US?

the hearing aidany necessary hearing testshearing aid fittingfurther adjustments to the hearing aidroutine cleaningwarranty

To help save on costs, some companies allow a person to purchase a hearing aid with fewer benefits in their bundle or only pay for the product itself. According to a 2016 study, people with hearing loss are more likely to have higher healthcare costs than individuals without hearing loss.

Are hearing aids as good as normal hearing?

Will a hearing aid restore my hearing to normal? – Hearing aids can make understanding speech much easier. However, they do not restore the natural functioning of your ear.

Do hearing aids fix hearing completely?

Will hearing aids cure my hearing loss? – Most Americans with hearing loss can be treated with hearing aids. Medical treatments and surgical procedures are helpful for only five percent of adults with hearing loss. Hearing aids cannot cure hearing loss, but they CAN help you hear better again.

Hearing is a complex process that starts with the ears and ends in the brain where information is received, stored and “decoded” into something we understand. When you add hearing aids to boost hearing, the brain suddenly registers long-lost sounds. Adjusting to amplification requires time, endurance and patience.

You are essentially retraining your brain to interpret sounds, focus on some and filter others out – just as you did naturally when your hearing was normal. Hearing aids can improve your ability to hear and communicate with the world around you, but they cannot “cure” your hearing loss – just as glasses do not “cure” your nearsightedness or farsightedness.

Are hearing aids better than normal hearing?

The next best thing to “normal” hearing – Although today’s hearing aids cannot precisely duplicate the function of the human ear, they can be of tremendous benefit to hearing impaired individuals. Digitization of sound and dedicated computer software allow hearing healthcare professionals to more precisely address hearing loss.

No longer do hearing instruments easily squeal, and thanks to the automatic nature of technology, there is no need for manual volume controls. Today’s hearing aids adapt to their environment thousands of times per second to ensure the best hearing possible for their wearer. And though they may not be able to restore your hearing back to “normal,” today’s hearing aids have gotten closer than ever.

They can help restore normalcy to your quality of life by helping you clearly hear and interact with the people and activities that bring you joy.

Does your hearing get worse if you don’t wear hearing aid?

Does your hearing get worse if you don’t wear a hearing aid? | Chime Social Enterprise For those experiencing hearing loss, many often wonder if their hearing gets worse if they don’t wear a hearing aid. If you have hearing loss and have been advised to wear a hearing aid, the rate at which your hearing deteriorates will not be affected whether you wear the hearing aid or not.

How long does it take for your brain to adjust to a hearing aid?

Five steps to hearing success – The following principles have been used by thousands of hearing aid wearers to successfully transition to better hearing health:

1. Acceptance Surprisingly, the first step begins before the purchase of hearing aids. Accepting your permanent hearing loss prepares you to get the help you need to begin your journey towards better hearing.
2. Positive attitude Step two is about making a personal choice to achieve better hearing with a positive attitude. Simply purchasing hearing aids does not signal success. To overcome hearing loss, you must have a desire to learn and determination to increase your ability to hear. Those who approach hearing aid use with a positive attitude are far more likely to achieve success.
3. Education Step three, the most effective remedy for hearing loss is personal education. The more you know about your hearing loss and treatment, the more actively you can participate in your adjustment to hearing aid use. Hearing requires more than the ears. It is a complex function that requires the cooperation of the brain and your other senses.
4. Realistic expectations The fourth step towards success is to set realistic expectations. Hearing aids will help you hear better — but not perfectly. Focus on your improvement and remember the learning curve can take anywhere from six weeks to six months. Success comes from practice and commitment. Read about managing auditory confusion When you first begin to use hearing aids, your brain will be startled to receive signals it has been missing. The brain needs time to become familiar again with the high-frequency sounds of speech and environmental noises. Re-acclimating your brain to true sound, after years of distortion caused by hearing loss, can be challenging. Your perceptions will improve over time, as the true sounds of everyday life are re-introduced to your consciousness after not being heard for years. At first, all sounds will seem loud. The true pitch of the telephone, the sound of your clothes rustling as you walk, the whoosh of your air conditioner or the hum of your refrigerator motor will seem loud in relation to other sounds. These sounds will become part of your subconscious again as your brain begins to prioritize them.
5. Practice and patience Finally, the fifth step towards success is a combination of practice, time and patience. Once you have logged sufficient hours for your brain to acclimate, you will be able to hear without thinking so much about hearing. It’s a good idea to begin with a schedule in which you wear your hearing aids part-time and gradually work up to wearing them from the time you rise until the time you go to bed. Many hearing professionals recommend listening to books on tape as a way to practice hearing and understanding. In the first few weeks, if it is too tiring, rest. Then try again. Reach out for support and stick with it. The payoff is immense.
