2 - Make A Personal Choice To Seek
Help With A Good Attitude.
 It
is not the purchase
of a product which
will give you better
hearing. Only about 20
percent of your success to achieve
better hearing will depend on the
performance of the hearing aid
products you purchased.
 The
fundamental requirement to
overcome your hearing problem is
your deep, driving desire
to learn and a
vigorous determination to increase
your ability to hear. The
six characteristics which are
present in all persons who
complete the transition to hearing
aids are:
- Positive
attitude.
- Willingness
to learn.
- Relentless
commitment not to quit.
- Time
spent practicing the use of
hearing aids.
- Patience
while your brain acclimates to
ambient sounds and noises.
- Effort
of the wearer which matches
their desire to increase their
ability to hear.
 Hearing
aids will not bring
you instant gratification.
They are not like eyeglasses -
which by simply putting them on
will result in clear vision.
Hearing aids are more like skates;
buying a good pair of them is only
the starting place. A good
coach who knows how to teach
skating is the second step.
Time spent in practice, with a
patient and a willing attitude by
the student, is the third and most
important step.
 To
achieve better hearing, you must
work at it daily. The
ability to hear again can be
relearned -- not purchased. The
most successful hearing aid users
will gladly tell you that their
effort to learn, with their time
spent practicing was the price
they paid for better hearing.
 The
decision to have a good attitude
about going through the process to
improve your hearing must be
yours, not that of your spouse,
son or daughter. As a
hearing professional, we cannot
make this commitment for you; it
is your choice alone. Abe
Lincoln once remarked that
"most folks are about as
happy as they make up their minds
to be." And as you
embark on the process of better
hearing, a cheerful attitude will
not only effect your success, but
will be an encouragement to
everyone you know.
