Why shouldn't you get a hearing aid right before an important event? Well, you know that if you've watched me enough, it takes your brain 30 days to physically rewire itself to work with the sound of a hearing aid. So if you get a hearing aid and you say, "I'm going to a wedding this weekend," 3 days away, and now you're expecting to hear well, you probably won't do the best with it, and you're gonna say, "This hearing aid didn't work." If you have something critical and important to you that's coming up, please, please, please always think about that the hearing aid experience needs to be something that you're doing generally a minimum of 30 to 60 days in advance.
