When a person struggles to hear conversation with the presence of background noise, there is no flashing neon light above that person’s head signaling “I’m hearing impaired”. However, the mere struggle to communicate makes visible the invisible hearing loss. Today, hearing aids have come a long way to make the quality of life less of a struggle, but there are factors that still make the adjustment to better hearing through hearing aids a real challenge. Some factors that may contribute to hearing aids or amplification not working to ones expectations are as follows: 1. Microphone opening(s) may be clogged with debris 2. Domes over the receivers(speakers) may be plugged with cerumen or worse, missing 3. Wax guards may be impacted with wax 4. Speaker wires may be frayed 5. Not wearing the aids for a full day because there is no one to talk with… 6.
