It takes a bit of time and patience to get used to how things feel and sound with hearing devices. Try to wear them as much as possible to get the most benefit, gradually increasing the length of time you wear them each day over the course of the first week or two.

When you first wear hearing devices, your voice will seem louder than usual. This is normal. It may take a few days to adjust to hearing your voice through the microphones.

When you first use hearing devices, your ears might feel as though they are blocked. Some people describe it like having earplugs in their ears. Our domes have a small vent that helps address occlusion by allowing natural sound to pass into the ear. It may take a few days to adjust to the feeling of the hearing device in your ear. Trying a different size dome may help address ongoing challenges.
