Selecting a Hearing Aid
Selection of the correct hearing aid should be made only by a hearing
health care professional. If you already wear hearing aids, have
an idea of what you would like to upgrade to, or if you have
a friend that really likes their particular hearing aid; it is
still CRITICAL to have a licensed hearing healthcare professional
make sure the particular instrument you have in mind is an appropriate
instrument for your situation.
If you suspect you or someone you know has
a hearing loss, an appointment should be made with one of our
hearing health care professionals for the purposes of testing and evaluation.
HearingAidHelp.com will be glad to make this appointment for
you and ensure you still receive our discount pricing plan.
Once a hearing aid has been selected, our hearing
health care professional can review the audiometric
evaluation information and make any final adjustment of the aid's controls
to suit your particular needs.
The need for one or two aids is also determined by our
hearing health care professional. If a hearing loss occurs in
both ears, our hearing health care professional will consider whether
binaural (two hearing aids) will be beneficial.
For people with hearing loss in both ears, wearing
two aids improves the ability to participate in conversation,
understand in situations with background noise, and hear a more
natural balance of sound.
