Picking the Right Hearing Aid for Your Situation

Individuals with newly diagnosed hearing
loss typically have lots of questions about
what the next steps are. Audiologists,
hearing specialists, and other hearing aid
providers can give lots of assistance through
the process. They are skilled at explaining
what types of hearing aids are available and
what options patients have to start hearing more clearly again.

The first step for most people is to choose the appropriate style of
hearing aid. Styles range from tiny in-the-canal hearing aids that
are almost invisible to the bulkier behind-the-ear hearing aids
that connect to a receiver situated in the ear. One of the major
factors that affects what hearing aids are even a possibility is the
degree of hearing loss, because some types of hearing aids
provide stronger amplification.

Audiologists can provide hearing aid help to determine what
styles are available to each patient. Individuals also need to
decide how much new technology they want to have in their
hearing aids. Although hearing aids have all come a long way
since they were first introduced decades ago, manufacturers are
always coming out with new models that incorporate more
technology to provide a clearer, crisper listening experience.

With the added features comes an added cost, so hearing aid
providers can help patients weigh the costs and benefits of each
style of hearing aid.
The last consideration is how long the hearing aid itself will last
and what sort of services it will need to have performed. For
example, hearing aids with plastic tubing require replacement,
and all hearing aids have batteries that need to get changed. In
addition, children may outgrow hearing aids, so it’s best to
choose a model that can be refitted as the child grows.
