Shopping for Your First Hearing Aid –
Things to Know
If you’re researching your first hearing aid and discovering that the process
is confusing, you are not alone. When Consumer Reports did a
comparative report on hearing aids, they followed consumers for six
months as they tried to figure out which one to buy. What they found was
less than satisfying; because they found that two-thirds of the aids were
either improperly fitted or that they provided either too much or too little
volume. Prices varied widely, and the people selling them did not always
provide the kinds of information the shoppers needed.
Fortunately, there are a few simple
tips you can follow so you can find
the most comfortable hearing aid
for you and avoid expensive
mistakes. This article is too short to
provide all the tips that would be
useful, so to supplement it we
recommend Your Guide to Buying
Hearing Aids. These guidelines are
provided on the website of the
Better Hearing Institute (BHI), a
non-profit corporation that educates the public about hearing loss and what
can be done about it. Here are our suggestions:
1. Seek professional help- Make an appointment with us or with
another certified hearing specialist in your area, and read the
information in the BHI guidelines before you go. It will help you to ask
the right questions and know what the right answers are.
2. Determine which type of hearing aid you need – This depends on
the type and severity of your hearing loss, and should have been
determined by tests performed by specialists during Step 1. Settling
on the perfect hearing aid for you will take into account the type of

hearing loss you are experiencing as well as your budget.
3. Do your research – After determining the type of hearing aid you
need, use the Internet to look up information about different models.
Look for price comparisons from different vendors, reports on the
frequency of problems and repairs, and most important, reviews from
users as to the unit’s comfort and reliability.
4. Locate a reputable vendor – This may be the hearing specialist you
went to in Step 1, or someone recommended by them. Your hearing
aid vendor should be trained and equipped to make molds of your
ears to fit your hearing aid properly. You can buy hearing aids over
the Internet, but because most models must be custom-fitted, we do
not recommend this.
5. Ensure proper fit and performance – This should be done before
walking out the door after your first fitting, and the vendor you select
should support this. The vendor should also provide free follow-up
sessions to fine-tune either the fit or the performance of the hearing
aids, and should be willing to offer you a “satisfaction guaranteed”
warranty when purchasing them.
We wish you good luck with selecting your first hearing aid, and want you
to know that we are here to provide help if you need it.
