What to be Aware of when Purchasing Hearing Aids?

When purchasing hearing aids it's important to look out for the features you want. Important features include directional microphones, background noise reduction capabilities, digital programmability and wireless connectivity. 

How do you know if you need one or two Hearing Aids?

The need for one or two hearing aids is dependent on the degree of hearing loss experienced. Hearing loss in one ear naturally dictates that you require one hearing aid only, and the same goes for hearing loss in both ears. However research has shown, regardless of the degree of healing loss, wearing hearing aids in both ears significantly improves speech clarity and the reduction of background noise. 

How accurate are online hearing tests?

Online hearing tests only provide users with a general indication of whether they have hearing loss or not. However, for a more in depth analysis of the type and severity of hearing loss, consulting a hearing healthcare professional is your best bet to get an accurate result and understanding of your hearing test.  

Will hearing aids restore your hearing to normal?

While hearing aids are designed to treat hearing loss, and with 95% of people suffering from hearing loss resorting to hearing aids as a solution; a hearing aid cannot restore your hearing to normal. But over time and with practice, hearing aids allow people to become more conscious of noise, and their sources around them. 

How to manage adjusting to new hearing aids?

People adjust differently to having to wear hearing aids for the first time or switching to a different brand or model. Wearing new hearing aids for a couple of hours a day, to a couple of days a week, until users are comfortable is a start. Then going outside wearing the hearing aids will allow individuals to adjust to outside noises and sounds of new environments. It may be better to avoid loud environments and crowds and instead gradually wear hearing aids in different situations until users are entirely comfortable.  

How should you care for your hearing aids?

Hearing aids should always be stored in a dry safe place, away from children and pets. Hearing aids should be turned off and battery compartments lefted open when they are not being used. Regularly cleaning battery components and wax filters of dust and invisible ear wax also increases their longevity and durability. 

Beware of hearing aid scams

Hearing aid scams are usually the result of fraudulent marketing tactics or fraudulent merchandise. The most common hearing aid scam is selling fake, ineffective and cheap hearing aids that are marketed as authentic and reputable brands. Avoid hearing aid deals that offer short free trial periods, a couple of hours, a day or a month, as most reputable hearing aid providers offer a 45-90 day trial period. Also be weary of “one-size-fits-all” hearing aid models, as one size never really does fit everyone. 

When purchasing hearing aids it is better to depend on reputable, reliable and verified hearing aid providers, which is especially important if you are purchasing hearing aids online.
