2. Choosing a Hearing Aid
When trying to determine what type of hearing aid
to use, the power of the device, the desired look,
and the cost all must be considered. With several
different types of hearing aids available, users must
evaluate the pros and cons of each type. As an
audiologist, Elise Witz works to provide quality ear
and hearing care to her patients. At her clinic, B & S
Hearing Solutions, LLC, Elise Witz strives to meet
the individual needs of her patients by offering a
wide range of hearing aids and hearing devices.

3. Choosing a Hearing Aid
Several types of hearing aids are commonly used.
Each type includes a microphone and amplifier that
pick up sound signals, convert them, and deliver
them to the ear. Behind-the-ear hearing aids are
easier to manipulate due to their larger size, but
they are also more noticeable and difficult to use
when on the phone. As another positive, they tend
to last a long time and are relatively inexpensive. In
contrast, both in-the-canal and completely-in-thecanal devices are difficult to see, but they are more
expensive and are prone to feedback.

4. Choosing a Hearing Aid
When looking for a hearing aid, a user should seek
the advice of an audiologist and understand his or
her priorities for the hearing aid. Many hearing aid
providers offer demonstrations of how the hearing
aids work, and some may even allow a user to test
a hearing aid before buying. Hearing aids may also
have certain add-ons, such as telephone adapters,
directional microphones, and Bluetooth technology,
that improve sound in specific situations.
