Things to Consider When Choosing Hearing Aids
When selecting a hearing aid, you should consider both your hearing loss needs and your personal preferences. The device should meet your needs in every area, including:
- The severity of your hearing loss
- The frequency configuration of your hearing loss
- Your hearing limitations
- Your activity level
- Your lifestyle
Personal preferences will also steer you as you choose a hearing aid. Some factors to consider are:
- Cosmetic preferences
- Budgetary needs
- Financing options
- Compatibility with accessories
Hearing Aids and Your Lifestyle
Your lifestyle is very important when choosing the right hearing aid. To get the most out of your appointment, you should consider the environments you are in that are most affected by your hearing loss. When you consider your lifestyle and personal needs, it will be easier to determine the best hearing aid(s) for you.
There are several lifestyle types but there are a few to consider that may apply to your life;
- A quiet lifestyle where you find yourself spending most of your days in a quiet environment. Your communication is limited between 1-2 other people in a quiet room. You may talk on the telephone or watch TV most days.
- A moderately active lifestyle incorporates the quiet lifestyle, but you get out sometimes and encounter busier environments such as the grocery store, the bank or a quiet restaurant (3-4 people sitting around your table).
- An active lifestyle involves many different environments so you may find yourself attending events with large groups of people or crowded events or go to busy restaurants.
- Or, maybe you experience a combination of these lifestyles.
When determining what hearing aid is best for you, it is very important to consider how your hearing aid will enhance your experiences. We want your hearing aid to fit in seamlessly with your lifestyle.
There really is no one-size-fits-all option in terms of hearing aids so it is not easy to determine a flat cost that applies to everyone.
