That‘s when an assistive listening device (ALD) can come in handy; a device that increases the loudness of a desired sound such as a radio or publicâ€" speaking system, without increasing the accompanying background noises. Based on your listening needs, type of hearing loss and lifestyle, the Audiotoâ€" gist will advise you on which of the basic hearingâ€"aid styles and features best meet your requirements. Patients should realize, however, that it can take several weeks to months to adjust to listening with a new hearing aid, given the brain needs to be trained to hear properly again. But rest assured, the Audiologist will be there for you.
