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.
