Hearing Aids

Choosing a hearing aid is a very personal decision.   Your audiologist can help you make the right choice.  After thoroughly evaluating your hearing, she will ask you many questions  to help make that choice. 

• What are your listening needs?   What are your difficult listening situations? 
  Are you frequently in noisy environments?   Do you need to hear at a distance?   
  See Technology Types for additional information

• Do you want to have multiple "programs" available for different listening situations?
• Do you want to control the volume yourself, or do you want an automatic control built in?
• Do you need directional microphones?
• Do you need to be able to connect easily to FM Systems and other assistive listening devices?
• Are you able to manipulate small objects?
• Do you have a cosmetic preference for style of hearing aid? 
• How valuable is better hearing to you?  

Together you and your audiologist can figure out what might work the best for you!
