Hearing Aids: Risks

 
Medical Encyclopedia: Hearing Aids: Risks

While there are no medical risks to hearing aids, there is a risk associated with hearing aids: many people end up not wearing their aids because they say everything seems loud when wearing them. This is because they have lived for so long with a hearing problem that they have forgotten how loud "normal" sound can be. Other potential problems with hearing aids include ear-mold discomfort, and a build up of excess ear wax after getting a hearing aid.
