> Are you still school? Have you ever try FM hearing system? > It is very fantastic. Actually, I've been out of school for about 15 years. When I was in school I was not aware of the existence of FM systems (which is sad; I probably could have done much better with them). I agree that...

There is always a period of getting used to new hearing aids. But if you can identify specific sounds that bother you the most with the new aids, and reproduce those sounds for your audiologist, he or she should be able to adjust the aids to make them more comfortable for you. For...
