The document provides a list of questions for a patient to ask their hearing specialist before purchasing hearing aids. It covers four major topics: hearing loss, styles and features of hearing aids, financing options, and operation and care of hearing aids. Some example questions are what type of hearing loss the patient has, which styles best suit their needs, total costs and insurance coverage, how to operate and care for the hearing aids, and service options. Being prepared with these questions will help the patient choose the right hearing solution for their individual situation and needs.
