Understanding Your Hearing Aid
The first step in adapting to life with a hearing aid is understanding its features and functions. Modern hearing aids, especially Bluetooth hearing aids, offer a variety of functionalities that cater to different lifestyles and preferences.
Types of Hearing Aids
- Behind-the-Ear (BTE): These models are worn behind the ear and are suitable for individuals with various degrees of hearing loss.
- In-the-Ear (ITE): These hearing aids fit completely in the outer ear and are more discreet.
- Rechargeable Hearing Aids: No more changing batteries! Rechargeable models provide convenience and longevity in operation.
- Bluetooth Hearing Aids: These allow for direct streaming from devices like smartphones, enabling a seamless audio experience.
Getting Comfortable with Your Hearing Aid
Adjusting to life with hearing aids is an exciting journey toward better sound and improved quality of life. For those who’ve chosen Eara Hearing's Explore Li+ Hearing Aids, this journey becomes even smoother thanks to Bluetooth 5.0 streaming, custom-programmed sound, and a comfortable, discreet design. Whether you’re a new user or transitioning to more advanced technology, embracing the world of sound can open up new possibilities.
Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you adjust to your Explore Li+ hearing aids and get the most out of your hearing experience.
1. Start Slow and Be Patient
When you first start using your hearing aids, it’s normal to feel a bit overwhelmed by the influx of sounds—especially those you may not have heard in a while. Start by wearing your Explore Li+ Hearing Aids in quieter settings, like at home, and gradually introduce them in more challenging environments like busy restaurants or outdoor gatherings.
Tip: Wear your hearing aids for a few hours each day during the first week, then gradually increase the time as your ears adjust. This helps prevent fatigue and allows you to get used to different sound environments.
2. Customize Your Sound Experience
With Eara Hearing’s Explore Li+, you can easily customize your hearing experience to suit your personal needs. The HA FIT App allows you to complete a simple 4-minute hearing test, after which your hearing aids automatically program themselves to your specific hearing loss—just like a prescription fitting from an audiologist, but from the comfort of home.
Pro Tip: Take full advantage of the custom-programming feature, which ensures crystal-clear sound quality and optimized speech clarity, even in noisy environments.
3. Use Your Bluetooth Connectivity
One of the standout features of the Explore Li+ Hearing Aids is their Bluetooth 5.0 technology. You can stream directly from any Bluetooth-enabled device—whether it’s your smartphone, TV, or laptop—without the need for additional adapters. This is a game-changer for staying connected while enjoying better sound.
Fun Fact: Did you know that the Explore Li+ is the only OTC hearing aid on the market that lets you connect directly to your devices without needing extra accessories like TV-link adapters? Say goodbye to clutter and hello to seamless connectivity!
4. Take Advantage of Rechargeable Convenience
With a portable charging case, your Explore Li+ hearing aids can last up to 80 hours without needing to recharge. This makes them perfect for long days, traveling, or simply enjoying life without worrying about replacing batteries.
Tip: Keep your portable charger handy and ensure your hearing aids are fully charged before heading out for the day. Having three extra charges on the go means your hearing aids are always ready when you are.
