New patients often ask us if their hearing loss will get worse if they get hearing aids.
They’re concerned that they’ll become dependent on the hearing aids and therefore not hear as well without them, and that their natural hearing will get worse.
Although people sometimes feel like their natural hearing is worse when they take their hearing aids out, this is actually a trick of the brain. The brain becomes acclimatized to hearing sounds and voices correctly when wearing the hearing aids and therefore craves this sound when you’re not wearing them. So, it’s not that your hearing has become worse or dependent on the hearing aids, but that your brain prefers to hear sound the way it is supposed to. And hearing sounds correct is good for your brain health.
So please wear your hearing aids if you’ve got them and please also be sure to consider hearing aids if they’ve been recommended to you.
