This. A good audiologist will usually start the gain pretty low, like 30% otherwise it overwhelms your brain in a way that’s hard to describe but will mean you don’t like it. After a few months you can have the gain turned up.
But if you can’t get the settings tweaked you can just turn volume down as soon as they are turned on.
Neat!
In my other comment I address the specific issue that’s more common with hearing aids, which is overwhelming your brain with noice it’s not used to.
