Hearing aids and how long it takes to get used to them?

My wife recently got digital hearing aids and says it feels like she is hearing things as you would hear them on tv. Just wondering if anybody who has them knows how long it takes to get used to them? Or any other useful information regarding this subject?

What type (in the ear, behind the ear, in the canal) of hearing aids are they? Does she wear ear molds? If so, are they different than the ones she used to wear? Sometimes ear molds can cause some sounds to be filtered out, and can cause the hearing aids to sound different.
When my students upgrade or change their technology, it usually takes 2-3 months before they get used to them. Good luck!

It is going to take a while because she is accustomed to not hearing things and now she has to get used to hearing again.

I first had an analog hearing aid some years ago and found that strange. The reason is that the higher frequency sounds are the first to disappear, when you wear the aid it amplifies these and it does sound strange. When I was upgraded to a digital the same thing occur ed. Tell her not to worry, it is just the brain noticing a distinct difference in the sounds it is receiving. What happens quite quickly is the brain becomes used to the sound it now hears and accepts that as normal. I probably got used to it in two or three weeks. It's well worth the adjustment period just to hear conversation clearly without constantly saying pardon. It's all part of the joy of getting old, in the morning first you feel around for the glasses then you can see the hearing aid, all I need now is a wooden leg and a parrot on my shoulder.
