The hearing care professional, a friend
When we detect that we don't hear well or that we hear worse than before is something that, as a general rule, we only feel comfortable talking about with our closest friends or relatives.
Accepting that we have lost hearing or that we are "becoming deaf" is a process that every person feels in a different way and talking about it is something very personal.
Although there are people who can talk about it openly and without any problem, there are others who feel more uncomfortable and prefer to take it discreetly and in their own way. But for all of them, there is an unconditional figure that will always support them: the hearing care professional.
The hearing care professional is the person who accompanies you during the whole process of adaptation, understands what stage of acceptance you are and can detect what type of support you need or what adjustments your hearing aids require. He will help you understand and guide you to re-listen and refresh parts of your auditory memory that you had asleep.
His experience and professionalism will set the guidelines and mark the planning of work so that you listen well and he is going to recommend what is best for you in each auditory stage of your life.
The hearing care professional is a person of confidence, to whom you can transfer all your concerns, doubts and even fears with peace of mind so that your benefits with the hearing aids and your personal situation are the best possible.
