• the hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and will not prevent
or improve a hearing loss resulting from organic conditions . How-
ever, the hearing aid can help you to make the best possible use of
your remaining hearing ability . You should also bear in mind that it
can take time to get used to a new hearing aid and new sounds .
• in most cases, using the hearing aid infrequently will not permit you
to gain full benefit from it .
• the use of a hearing aid is only part of hearing habilitation and may
need to be supplemented by auditory training and instruction in
lipreading .
• the use of hearing aids increases the risk of accumulation of earwax .
contact your physician/ent doctor if you suspect that a plug of ear-
wax has accumulated in your ear . earwax may not only reduce your
own hearing but also the effect of the hearing aid considerably . it
is a good idea to ask your physician to clean your ears a couple of
times a year .
