Starting your journey with new hearing aids is exciting, but for many new users, one issue can cause confusion: "Why does my own voice sound strange, booming, or echoing?"

👂 Why Does My Voice Sound Weird with Hearing Aids? (The Occlusion Effect Explained)

This very common phenomenon is often due to something called the Occlusion Effect. At Acoustik Hearing And Speech Clinic—the best Hearing Clinic in Mumbai—we specialize in fine-tuning your devices so you can enjoy clear, natural hearing, including the sound of your own voice.

Understanding the "Weird Voice" Feeling

The booming or echoing sensation you feel when you speak is usually caused by the hearing aid, or the ear mold, partially or fully blocking your ear canal.

1. The Cause (Bone Conduction): When you speak, the sound vibrations travel through the cartilage and bone in your head to reach the inner ear. When your ear canal is open, these low-frequency vibrations can easily escape.

2. The Problem (The Blockage): When a hearing aid or ear mold blocks the canal, those low-frequency vibrations are trapped. This trapped energy significantly amplifies the bass (low-frequency) tones of your own voice, making it sound unnaturally loud, deep, or echoing (like talking into a barrel).

This is a totally normal experience for many first-time hearing aid users and, crucially, it is fixable.

How Acoustik Fixes the Occlusion Effect

As hearing experts serving Mumbai, Thane, and Navi Mumbai, we use advanced fitting techniques and technology to eliminate the strange voice sensation, restoring a natural listening experience.

• Venting and Custom Molds: For most in-the-ear style hearing aids, the solution is creating a vent (a small channel) in the ear mold. This vent allows the trapped low-frequency energy of your voice to escape, relieving the pressure and the booming sound. Our custom fittings ensure the vent is the correct size for your unique ear canal anatomy.

• Fine-Tuning the Low Frequencies: Our audiologists can precisely adjust the hearing aid's programming to slightly reduce the amplification of the low frequencies only when you are speaking. This delicate adjustment ensures your own voice sounds natural without sacrificing the benefit of amplifying external sounds.

• Open-Fit Technology (Receiver-in-Canal): For mild to moderate hearing loss, we often recommend open-fit or Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) hearing aids. These styles use a thin wire and a small, soft dome that leaves the ear canal largely open, naturally preventing the occlusion effect from occurring in the first place.

The Role of Adaptation and Expert Care

Even with the perfect fit and programming, there is a period of adjustment. It often takes a few weeks for your brain to relearn how to process all sounds, including your own voice, through the amplified system.

We provide comprehensive aftercare and adjustments at the comfort of your own home across Mumbai, Thane, and Navi Mumbai. Our goal isn't just to sell an instrument—it's to ensure your hearing aids become comfortable and sound completely natural.

If your voice sounds weird with hearing aids, don't worry—it's fixable!
