Evaluating hearing aid performance
Many people, especially first-time hearing aids users, will simply go through life with poor hearing aid performance because they do not know how very well the current state-of-the-art listening hearing aids are capable of performing. Whistling from feedback and background noises which make conversation impossible to hear are no longer acceptable in hearing aids. The performance of your hearing aid can deteriorate over time, even if they worked perfectly when you first got them. This can happen because they need a good cleaning, or because your batteries are getting low, but the biggest concern is that your hearing is continuing to change. So even after you get your hearing aids, you need to continue seeing your audiologist for periodical hearing tests, so that the programming of your hearing aids will continue to match your changing hearing needs.
