Hearing aid technology has improved dramatically over the years and today’s devices fit seamlessly into modern life. From small and discreet to high-powered and packed with features, our clinic has a solution that meets your hearing loss needs, lifestyle and budget.

What to Consider When Choosing a Hearing Aid

No two cases of hearing loss are exactly alike. Everyone experiences sound differently and choosing the best hearing aid depends on your unique type of hearing loss, lifestyle, budget and preferences.

Some factors to consider include:

Degree of hearing loss (power requirements)
Budget
Desired appearance
Skin sensitivities
Anatomical/medical considerations
Ability to see and handle small devices
Lifestyle and listening needs

While there are many different technologies on the market, hearing aids typically fall into one of three categories: basic, mid level and premium.

Basic hearing aids provide basic sound amplification without many extra features and technology. These are most suitable for people who are generally in quiet one on one environments where background noise can be controlled.

Mid Level hearing aids provide amplification while trying to keep you comfortable in background noise.

Premium hearing aids provide the most dynamic sound experience in a variety of environments, constantly processing the sounds to enhance speech. They come with the most features and most advanced technology.

The best way to find the right level of technology for your needs is to schedule a hearing evaluation. This allows your provider to get to the root of your hearing loss symptoms and recommend the best hearing aid for your needs and preferences. We will take the time to talk through technology levels and expectations, as well as the extra optional features such as rechargeability, bluetooth connectivity, smartphone apps and accessories that may be relevant to your needs.
