Considerations for choosing hearing aids
A hearing care professional is best equipped to guide you through available options for hearing aids to suit your needs. When choosing hearing aids that are most appropriate for you, important considerations include:
Lifestyle & associated listening needs
Degree & type of hearing loss
Budget
Dexterity
Cosmetic concerns
Hearing aids are not one-size-fits-all when it comes to how they perform in daily activities
It is important to honestly identify your listening needs to choose a hearing aid that will accommodate your lifestyle.
While some features are common among different levels of technology (rechargeable batteries, compatibility with mobile phone apps, tinnitus management features, Bluetooth® connection to mobile phones and TV); more advanced features (background reduction/filtering and health monitoring features) may only be available in more sophisticated hearing aids.
