How to Adjust the Volume on Your Hearing Aids: A Guide?

Modern hearing aids are designed to make life simpler, automatically adjusting their volume based on the environment. Soft sounds are amplified while loud noises are toned down to provide a balanced listening experience.

However, sometimes you may want to manually adjust the volume to suit specific needs or preferences. Here’s a guide on how to easily manage your hearing aid’s volume, using different methods.

Adjusting Volume Directly on the Hearing Aid

Most hearing aids come with a built-in volume control feature, usually in the form of a button or wheel. During your fitting process, your hearing care professional will demonstrate how to use this control, so you know exactly which buttons adjust the volume.

To increase the volume, you typically press the top of the button or turn the wheel upwards. Supporting the hearing aid with your thumb while using your index finger to adjust can help with stability. Some models emit a signal tone when the volume changes, and a continuous tone might indicate when the maximum volume has been reached.

Using a Remote Control

For those who prefer convenience, many modern hearing aids come with a compatible remote control. The remote offers easy volume adjustments and program changes at the press of a button, often labeled with “+” and “-” for increasing or decreasing the volume. Remote controls allow for seamless adjustments without needing to touch the hearing aids directly, making it especially helpful if the aids are small or hard to reach.

Adjusting via Smartphone Apps

Many hearing aid manufacturers now offer dedicated smartphone apps that let you adjust volume settings right from your phone. These apps are particularly useful if you prefer not to carry a separate remote control or if you enjoy managing your devices digitally. By sliding or tapping within the app, you can adjust the volume discreetly and easily, along with accessing other advanced settings.

Helpful Tips to Keep in Mind

While adjusting the volume is convenient, it’s worth noting that hearing aids reset their volume to default when switching programs or turning off and on. If you find yourself adjusting frequently, discuss this with your hearing care provider, as they may be able to customize the default settings to better fit your lifestyle.
