If you’re a first-time hearing aid wearer, it helps to know how to adjust your hearing aids so that you experience optimal hearing quality with them.
Most newer hearing aids have automatic volume control, but some also include manual controls. There are two volume control options — fingertip and screw-type. Fingertip control utilizes a small wheel that rotates with the twist of your fingertip. It’s the most common volume control on hearing aids. The screw-type control is a small inset control that adjusts with a small screwdriver, making it possible for you to lock in a specific listening volume. If you have inner ear hearing aids the volume control will be located on just one hearing aid but will affect both.
