Your ability to hear what is going on around you clearly can have a significant impact on the quality of your life. While hearing aids can make a significant difference as far as how much and how well you are able to hear, adjusting to using them is not as simple as you might expect. Comfort Home Hearing Audiology’s aural rehabilitation services can help you identify specific ways to make this transition easier!
What Is Aural Rehabilitation?
Hearing loss is usually a gradual process that occurs over a long period of time, which means that it can be difficult to notice the true impact that years of subtle changes can have on your overall hearing and how your ability to hear may impact the quality of your life. Your body’s high level of ability to adapt to your surroundings can make you able to function surprisingly well as your hearing slowly deteriorates over time, and this ability to compensate for slow changes often means that the significant, immediate effects of starting to use hearing aids can be much harder on your ears than you might expect. You may find yourself thinking everything you are hearing is uncomfortably loud or hearing so many background noises that it becomes difficult to focus on the sounds you actually want to hear, and adjusting to this overstimulation can take time.
You may like the idea of being able to hear better more than the transition to hearing sounds you’ve been missing or changing batteries, but there are several steps you can take to make the adjustment process easier on your brain and your ears. Aural rehabilitation involves working with our professionals throughout this adjustment period to simplify the process of making your new hearing aids as comfortable and efficient as possible. These practices allow us to help you increase your brain’s ability to reacclimate to enjoying a wide range of activities that are at least partially dependent on being able to hear reasonably well.
Re-Train Your Brain to Get the Most Out Of Your Hearing Aids
Aural rehabilitation, also known as aural rehab, starts with a Needs Assessment that allows us to determine how we can best serve you. This assessment identifies specific situations in which your current hearing limitations are the most likely to impact your life and ways that we can help you take steps to hear better.
We can then use this information to create a personalized Hearing Loss Management Plan to help you identify specific behavioral, technological, restorative, and preventative actions that can help you improve your overall ability to hear clearly and get the most out of nearly any level of hearing. These strategies can make a significant difference as far as improving the overall quality of your life and making adjusting to your hearing aids less challenging. Our audiology experts can also use this service to assist individuals with tinnitus and similar concerns that make it more difficult to zero in on hearing the most important things instead of extra sounds that they do not want to hear.
