If you’re having trouble hearing, your audiologist may advise you to consider wearing hearing aids. These innovative devices capture and amplify sound, opening you up to auditory and sensory experiences you may have been missing out on. There are multiple types of hearing aid available, and an audiologist can help you decide which style is best for you.
Modern technology affords a diverse range of options when it comes to choosing a hearing aid. The most common types of hearing aids include:
Other options include:
With an array of hearing aid styles on offer, it can be challenging to narrow down the options. Several factors may influence your decision when it comes to choosing which type of hearing aid to go for. In many cases, the results of your hearing tests will indicate which styles are best suited to you. Some hearing aids are geared towards mild hearing loss, while others are aimed at severe hearing loss. You might also have preferences in terms of the esthetic of the hearing aid and how visible it is, and your manual dexterity may also affect your decision. If you find it difficult to deal with small parts, for example, your audiologist may advise against an ITC or an IIC hearing aid. Your lifestyle may also play a role. If you’re very active, for example, you might find that one style suits you better than another.
Once your audiologist has analyzed and evaluated the results of your hearing tests and assessments, they can talk to you about the different styles on offer and come up with ideas and recommendations based on your needs, and also your preferences. Your audiologist will ask you questions about your normal daily routine and your lifestyle and talk to you about the look of different hearing aids to provide suggestions that tick every box. We’ll be happy to show you different devices so that you can have a closer look and get a feel for each hearing aid, and we’re always on hand to answer questions and give you as much information as possible before you make a decision.
