The first few weeks take adjustment. A week-by-week guide to settling in and getting the most from your aids.
New hearing aids can feel strange at first - your own voice may sound odd and the world suddenly seems full of sounds you'd forgotten. That's completely normal. Your brain simply needs time to relearn what to pay attention to.

Wear them at home in quiet. Get used to your own voice and everyday sounds.
Build up wearing time and add gentle activities - one-to-one chats, the radio.
Venture into busier places: shops, cafes, small gatherings.
Wear them all day. Note anything tricky to fine-tune at your follow-up.
Consistency helps your brain adapt far faster than occasional use.
Jot down tough situations so they can be tuned at your review.

Yes - the more consistently you wear them, the quicker and easier the adjustment.

Most people need a couple of tweaks in the first month or two. With Hearizan, those adjustments happen at home or remotely - so there's never a clinic trip just to turn something up a little.
