my dad has a hearing aid, not me, so what i say may not be exactly correct, but ill give you what i can, and if you have questions, i will ask my dad. he will be perfectly happy to answer them.
make sure it fits properly, if it doesn't, you are unlikley to wear it. another thing that a lot of people find useful is an aid that you can adjust the volume of by yourself, rather than having to go back to where it came from to get it done. keep the batteries safe, and always have them in the same place, keeping them in the case if you have one can help. take it out at night, or for activities that involve crawling round on the ground, it may sound obvious, but a lot of people forget. keep it in the same place evry night (like i keep my glasses in my hat).
i hope this is useful, if you have any questions for me or my dad, please ask, on here, PM, MSN, facebook or email, anything. i will do anything i can.
the way i see it, dyspraxia is an extra hurdle in every race i run, but that extra hurdle, is just extra exercise, so in the end, i will come through stronger.
