Getting used to your hearing aids
First and foremost, how long it takes to get used to hearing aids is individual and can take anything from two weeks to over a year. There are so many reasons for this, and in some ways, patience and a positive attitude will go far; but if the idea of it taking a while fills you with dread; there are some things you can do to make the process easier.

Bone Anchored Hearing Aids
Since the late 1970’s the use of Bone Conduction Hearing Devices (BCHD) have been a possible way to treat conductive hearing losses (CHL) i.e. where the sound struggles to conduct through either the middle and/or outer ear. Possible situations where this may happen is when someone has a malformed ear, chronic ear canal infections, a hearing loss due to a perforation or even a condition like otosclerosis (fusion of the bones in the middle ear).
In recent years Bone Anchored Hearing Aids (BAHA) have been used for conducive losses with good success rates in treating physical/mechanical hearing losses.

Glue Ear: How you can help your child
