Things to Consider When

Buying Hearing Aids

It is imperative that you find a

hearing professional that you feel

comfortable with and can turn to for

advice on your hearing concerns.

Since you will be spending a lot of

time with this person, it is important

to make sure that you choose someone you are able to turn to for

guidance and advice. During the first 30 to 60 days of adjusting

your hearing aids, you can plan on visiting your doctor’s office

about three or four times to get everything completed.

The ear, nose and throat specialist or your family doctor does not

have the training in hearing aids that an audiologist will be able

to provide you. Most of the times people end up discussing their

hearing concerns with the one who performed the initial hearing

tests, which will typically end up being an audiologist.

Purchasing your hearing aid from a professional’s office that

focuses on being able to provide you the information you need as

a health care provider, instead of just someone who is selling

hearing aids. Look through your options and choose a

professional who is willing to take the time to listen to your

concerns and figure out how your hearing loss is affecting your

everyday living choices.

The person you choose needs to be

competent about more than just one

specific hearing aid brand and it needs to be able to match the

type of technology you are looking for in your individual situation.

They should be willing to work with you for as long as you need

them to in order to help you have the best hearing possible with

your new hearing aid.

Ensure that the hearing aid professional you choose is licensed

with the state and it is up to date. Check through the BBB and

the state office to see if there are any complaints on file.

Sometimes having a recommendation from someone who used

that particular business will help provide you with the peace of

mind that you are looking for.

Be diligent when it comes to selecting your provider, the same

way that you would any other healthcare provider that you are

working with. It is imperative that you have a level of trust with

your specialist or else there will be a lot of issues when it comes

to choosing your hearing devices. You will be working with this

person for years to come, not to mention the first few months of

repeated follow-up visits for your hearing aid.
