A Bridge to Better Hearing >> Principle Two: Take Initiative and Learn
SIX CHARACTERISTCS OF SUCCESSFUL PATIENTS
An Attitude of Willingness
 An attitude of willingness comes from within
you. You need to have
a desire to learn and an eagerness to take the lead in
finding the best solution for you. There are six characteristics found in all
successful patients:
- Positive attitude
- Willingness to learn
- Relentless commitment to find the best
solution
- Time spent practicing the use of hearing aids
- Patience while the
brain reacclimatizes to ambient sounds and noises
- Desire to be
a good communicator
As you prepare to start the process, one of the most important facts
you need to know is that hearing aids do not bring immediate satisfaction.
To improve your hearing, you must be willing to help your clinician
achieve your best hearing.
There are going to be highs and lows in this process, but you
must be willing to practice everyday. People who have a desire for improvement
have more potential to accomplish their goals. The most successful
hearing aid users will gladly tell you that their effort to learn,
and time spent practicing was the price they paid for better hearing.
The choice to have a positive outlook throughout the process is up
to you.
"If you want to see the rainbow, you have
to put up with the rain." - Dolly Parton
