Research Notes on How to Insert a Hearing Aid
A hearing aid is a device that is inserted into the ear to increase the ability to hear for the hearing impaired. Before inserting the hearing aid, ensure that the gain is turned down. Hold the aid between your thumb and forefinger, and with the gain control on the top side, slowly insert the hearing aid into your ear.1
Fast Facts:
- Hearing aid batteries need to be replaced every one to three weeks.1
- The gain control, or volume control, adjusts how loudly the sound is amplified into your ears.2
- Adjust the gain with your first finger.2
- When using a telephone, hold the receiver close to your ear without it touching the hearing aid.2
