Your support is vital 

Your support means a great deal to your friend or family member in the weeks following a hearing evaluation and after the fitting of a pair of hearing aids.

Help your friend or relative rediscover sounds 

Your friend or relative has to get used to a number of sounds they haven’t heard for some time and have perhaps even forgotten after getting hearing aids. Getting used to hearing again takes practice and patience. While it is exciting to recapture sounds again with their new hearing aids, it can also be overpowering.
 

By taking the time to understand the nature of hearing loss and learn practical ways of supporting, you can help your friend or relative take the first important steps toward rediscovering everyday sounds with their new hearing aids.
