Hearing aid technology has changed dramatically over the past several years. Today’s hearing aids are smaller, use more sophisticated sound processing, and come in attractive modern designs. As a result, new research shows that consumer satisfaction with hearing aids is higher than ever before (Kochkin, 2010).
Hearing aids are available from a number of manufacturers offering a wide variety of products. However, it is important to note that there is no one “best hearing aid”. Instead, you can determine the “best hearing aid for you” by speaking with an audiologist or hearing instrument specialist about your hearing loss, lifestyle and financial considerations.
The following sections are intended to inform you about your hearing aid options and familiarize you with the terms that your audiologist/hearing health professional may use when talking about hearing aids.
As a truly independent hearing care provider we are not bound to any one manufacturer. This means you get the best device for your needs, not ours.
