Many people are very unfamiliar with hearing aids, and will have many misunderstandings about it, thinking that hearing aid fitting is a simple buying and selling process, is an ordinary electronic product, if we do not have a correct enough understanding of hearing aids, then we will take a lot of detours on the road to hearing aids, and even directly miss the best intervention period, resulting in our hearing continues to decline, and the effect of hearing aids does not meet the expected expectations.

Misunderstanding 1: Hearing aids will become more and more deaf this is one of the most common rumors, and it is also the worst statement that digital hearing aids are wronged, if our hearing aids are formal and scientifically fitted, after accurate and reasonable adjustment by professional hearing care professionals, the wearing of hearing aids will not make the original hearing loss of hearing loss users. Everyone's hearing situation will be different, so hearing loss has its own rules, for example, during the ** period of otitis media, hearing will fluctuate and decline, and presbycusis will gradually decline. Wearing hearing aids can stimulate our auditory system, so that the auditory center can maintain a certain degree of activity, and will not cause auditory degradation due to long-term inability to hear sound.

Misunderstanding 2: Hearing aids will produce dependence, wearing hearing aids will make us listen more easily, but also more clearly, when we take off the hearing aids will indeed have a temporary discomfort, will feel that the "dependence" on hearing aids is a very bad phenomenon, in fact, just like we have been in a bright environment for a long time suddenly the lights go out, we will feel dark, but after a period of adaptation we can still see in this dark environment.

If the other ear does not receive auditory stimulation for a long time, auditory function will deteriorate.
