| Which hearing aid is right for me? |
|

Hearing aids come in a wide range of products and prices and the level selected depends on several factors:
- Your hearing loss. Your level of hearing impairment and specific frequencies where impairment exists can determine which products are appropriate for you.
- Your lifestyle and hearing objectives. Generally, less expensive models are appropriate for less active individuals who seek hearing improvement in one primary listening situation (e.g. around the house). More advanced models are appropriate for individuals who require hearing improvement in varied listening situations such as work, church, social situations, home and on the telephone.
- One aid or two? Most people with hearing loss have impairment in both ears. Those with impairment in both ears need two hearing aids to achieve the best possible performance. Years of clinical research have shown the following benefits of wearing two hearing aids as opposed to one: increased speech understanding in normal listening situations and in noise, enhanced sound quality and a sense of balance, and improved sound localization.
- Cosmetic preferences. Hearing aids come in a variety of styles and sizes. Pictures and descriptions of the various styles of hearing aids are included on our website in the hearing aid styles section.
- Your budget. As with most major purchases, you need to prioritize the features and performance that are most important to you and make a selection that provides a balance of features and affordability. We offer 12 month no-interest financing and other payment arrangements. Our specialists work with you to help you choose which style and size hearing aid is right for you.
