Should i buy hearing aids online or at costco?

Purchasing a hearing aid online or from a big-box retailer is not a good substitute for visiting a qualified hearing health provider. You deserve more attention and service than you’d get through these channels.

While you may see ads for sound amplifiers or other hearing devices online, remember that hearing aids are medical devices regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In order to perform properly, they must be programed to best suit your personal level of hearing loss and adjusted to fit comfortably to your ears. Hearing loss is complex, and simply turning the volume up will not improve your hearing. Today’s hearing aid technology can reduce the volume on unimportant sounds and amplify others, increasing your level of understanding.

To help ensure your safety, health, and happiness, it is very important that you work with an audiologist or licensed hearing healthcare specialist to find the right hearing aids for you. Find a provider here.
