Expectations of Hearing Aids

Hearing Aids DO the following:

• Make sound louder
• Make speech easier to understand in most situations
• Help you hear certain pitches better, such as high pitched consonant sounds (s, t, f and sh)
• Enable you to participate more fully in life's activities

Hearing Aids DO NOT:

• Restore normal hearing
• Deliver the ability to hear speech perfectly when competing sounds are present
• Transform distorted sound into clear sound
• Allow you to hear only what you want to hear
