Your First Hearing Aids May Sound Different at
First

Putting on hearing aids for the first time can bring back sounds you may not have noticed for a while.

Footsteps
Cutlery
Birds outside
Your own voice
The rustle of clothing

Some sounds may initially seem unfamiliar as your brain adjusts to hearing sounds more clearly again.

This is one reason follow-up appointments are so valuable. Your experience can be discussed, settings can be reviewed, and support can be provided as you adjust.

💡Adapting to hearing technology is a process, not a single appointment.

connected with our Janah du Plessis for
and ongoing support.

Ear Infections Can Affect Hearing Too

An ear infection can sometimes make sounds seem muffled or distant.

Depending on which part of the ear is affected,
inflammation or fluid can interfere with how sound travels through the ear.

You might notice:
👂 A blocked feeling
🔇 Temporary changes in hearing
😣 Ear discomfort
💧 Discharge from the ear
💬 Difficulty following conversations

Hearing changes associated with ear symptoms should be evaluated, especially if they persist or worsen.

Your ears are part of your overall health. Pain,
discharge, or sudden changes should not simply be
ignored.

📞If you are concerned about your hearing following an ear infection, speak to our Janah du Plessis
for about an appropriate hearing
assessment.

Hearing Aids Should Be Fitted to You

Two people can have similar hearing test results and still have very different hearing needs.

One may spend their days in quiet environments.
Another may attend meetings, restaurants, community
events, or busy family gatherings.

That is why having a hearing aid prescribed to your
configuration and unique listening needs, is so important and so personal.

It involves considering your hearing, lifestyle, comfort,
communication needs, and the environments where you need support most.
Adjustments and follow-up care are also an important part of the process.

💡The technology is a VITAL cog in the wheel - a poorly fitted premium aid will not work better than a well-fitted entry aid.

One Ear Feels Different? It’s Worth Checking

Hearing changes do not always affect both ears equally.
You may notice:
•One ear sounds muffled
•You prefer using one ear on the phone
•Speech sounds clearer on one side
•Tinnitus is more noticeable in one ear
•Music sounds different between your ears
•You have to lift your head off the pillow to hear your
partner speak to you at night

A noticeable difference between your ears is worth
discussing with a hearing healthcare professional.

💡Do not assume that every hearing change is simply part of getting older. Understanding the pattern matters.

📞 If you have noticed a difference between your ears,
book an assessment with our Janah du Plessis for .

💙👂 **Happy World Audiologist Day!** 🌍

Today, I celebrate the privilege of helping people reconnect with the sounds that make life beautiful. From a loved one’s laughter to a child’s first words, hearing is so much more than sound — it’s connection, confidence, and being part of life’s precious moments. ✨

Here’s to better hearing, deeper connections, and a world where everyone has the opportunity to hear life to the fullest! 🦻💫

Why Do My Hearing Aids Whistle?

That unexpected whistle from a hearing aid can be
frustrating.
But it can also be a clue that something needs attention.

Hearing aid feedback may occur for several reasons,
including:
👂A change in how the device fits
🧼Earwax build-up
⚙A component that needs checking
🦻Changes to the earmould or dome
🔊Settings that may need adjustment

Instead of simply putting up with the sound, have your
hearing aids checked.

Hearing technology should be reviewed and maintained just like other devices you rely on every day.

📞If your hearing aids are whistling, sounding different, or no longer feeling comfortable, book a review with our Janah du Plessis for .

Headphones, Volume and Your Hearing

Headphones have become part of everyday life.
Music
Podcasts
Meetings
Videos
Calls

The concern is not simply using headphones, but how
loudly and for how long you listen.
Listening to higher volumes for extended periods can
increase the risk of hearing damage.

A few helpful habits include:
🎧 Keep the volume comfortable
⏸ Give your ears regular listening breaks
🔇 Avoid increasing the volume simply to overpower
background noise
📱 Pay attention to volume warnings on your device

💡Enjoying your favourite sounds and protecting your
hearing can go hand in hand.

📞 If you are concerned about noise exposure or changes in your hearing, speak to our Janah du Plessis for .

What Does a Hearing Test Actually Tell You?

A hearing test is about more than simply hearing a beep.
A comprehensive hearing test can help your hearing care professional understand different aspects of how you hear.

It can provide information about:
•The softest sounds you can hear
•How each ear is hearing
•How you respond to speech
•The pattern of any hearing changes
•If your hearing is normal or need further medical
intervention or hearing aids
•Whether further assessment may be recommended

These results are considered alongside your experiences, health history, and everyday listening needs.

💡Your hearing test provides information. Your individual
experience helps give that information meaning.

📞If you have never had a comprehensive hearing
assessment, book with our Janah du Plessis for and get to know
your hearing better.
