I understand your frustration in getting used to your hearing aids,I would say it is normal. When you have a hearing test, it only gives an idea, what sort of hearing aids are best for you, after that, you need several adjustments, from my experience, I would suggest you wear them a few hours every day, take a note each time you find discomforts,in the streets, listening to TV, conversations in noisy environments etc... your audiologist is there to help you, but remember, if these little machines can make our life a lot better yet, they will not give you a 100% hearing, getting nervous or upset, make things worse, be patient, all the best.....
