What is the typical hearing aid selection process?

It’s important that you’re selecting hearing aids that are easy for you to use and fit comfortably into your lifestyle. Otherwise, you may not be satisfied with your devices or use them on a consistent basis. You should also consider the warranty, necessary maintenance, repair costs, upgrade options, and the hearing aid company’s customer service.

After you have your hearing evaluated, your hearing health professional will help you pick a device that works for your hearing and lifestyle needs. Some also allow trial periods where you can test the hearing aids for a period of time before you decide to purchase them.

If you aren’t satisfied with hearing aids you purchased, don’t just put them in a drawer and forget about them. Talk with your hearing health professional to find a better option so that you can get back to hearing your best.
