How might a listening coach help you?
Gradually over time we all lose some of our hearing and our brain learns to focus on the sounds we can hear not the missing sounds. When hearing aids are issued some of those previously missing sounds are audible again. The brain needs to be retrained to utilize the ‘new’ sounds.
Hearing professionals advise that people wear their hearing aids all waking hours, not just when they feel they need their hearing aids. Listening exercises can assist getting the most from your amplification.
Adults who have an auditory implant such as a cochlear implant or BAHA may benefit from additional support in re-learning to listen.
