GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (ABC 4)- According to the National Council on Aging, hearing loss affects nearly 60.7 million Americans aged 12 or older. Additionally, approximately 28.8 million adults could significantly benefit from wearing a hearing aid.

If you’re a hearing aid owner but strongly dislike wearing your devices, know you’re not alone. Common reasons for disliking hearing aids include:

  • Discomfort or poor fit
  • Challenges adapting to the device
  • Pain associated with the amplification of sounds

While adjusting to wearing hearing aids can present a few challenges, Dr. Pamela Keenan from McDonald Audiology & Hearing Health Care encourages hearing-aid wearers to stay the course!

Hearing aids can significantly help with hearing loss, and a local audiologist can help patients feel more comfortable wearing aids.
