Some patients are in denial, they don’t believe they have a hearing loss because it doesn’t affect their lifestyle and they don’t know what they’re missing. Many patients thank me at the two week follow up, they now realize what they haven’t heard in such a long time. That being said, the first two weeks are difficult, you will hear everything. W hether you want to or not! Some sounds you will notice are; You will hear your own voice Background noise Going to the bathroom will sound like Niagara Falls Paper will sound to sharp or to crispy The tap will sound loud The clock Creaking and cracking of the floors
