Making the decision to begin treating your hearing loss is a huge first step into a life of clearer sounds and easier connections. Approximately 28.8 milli<\/a>on<\/a> U.S. adults could benefit from the use of hearing aids. Beginning hearing aids is different for everyone, and it can be challenging to know how you\u2019ll react to your new devices. Let\u2019s take a look at a few different emotions you may experience with new hearing aids<\/a> to help prepare you for hearing loss treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joy and Excitement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first emotions many people experience with new hearing aids are joy and excitement. Many describe an overwhelmingly happy sensation when they hear their partner\u2019s voice clearly for the first time or listen to birds chirping at Watson Lake Park. You can expect these feelings to couple with happy tears as you start your new life full of all the sounds you\u2019ve been missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stress and Annoyance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With new hearing aids, you may hear sounds that have otherwise gone unnoticed. While many of these sounds can feel amazing to hear for the first time, others, like the toilet lid closing or the dishwasher running, may annoy you or cause surprising stress levels.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your new hearing aids cause stress, don\u2019t take it as a sign that they won\u2019t work for you. Instead, take short breaks when you find yourself feeling overwhelmed. While consistency is important, you are more likely to fully adopt your hearing aids when you start small. Try taking a thirty-minute break without your hearing aids whenever you feel overwhelmed. These small breaks can significantly improve your emotional state during the hearing aid adoption phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confidence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hearing loss can take its toll on your confidence, resulting in insecure social interactions. With hearing aids, you can feel more confident when interacting with your friends, family and coworkers, whether you\u2019re in a busy restaurant or chilling at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting new hearing aids is an emotional time. Preparing for these emotions can help you jump into hearing loss treatment<\/a> ready and willing to enjoy a new life with clear communication.
