A Quick Guide for Acclimating to Your New Sounds

21 days. That's the magic number. Re-discover the symphony of missed sounds, like your neighbor's bizarre choice in music.

  • Voices seem too loud? Even yours? It's not a superpower; your ears are just recalibrating. 

    Time (21 days) will allow you to adjust to your new sounds.

  • Begin your auditory journey in quiet spaces.  A comfortable, familiar, and quiet environment is recommended in the early stages of using Sontro Self-Fitting OTC Hearing Aids. Once you become more comfortable, you can wear your hearing aids in new listening environments.
  • First days a bit...off? Wear 'em short, then go long.  If your Sontro Self-Fitting OTC Hearing Aids seem uncomfortable at first, wear them for shorter periods the first few days and increase your wear time as you get accustomed to the new sounds from your new hearing aids.
  • Embrace this noisy change. Within 21 days, you'll be the maestro of your auditory world.  Wearing hearing aids is a significant change to your life. Be patient and give yourself time to adjust. Take breaks as needed, but return to your Sontro Self-Fitting OTC Hearing Aids, as your experience will become normalized and vastly improve over the 21 days.
