If your hearing test revealed that you have hearing loss, the next step is to select a hearing aid. The number of styles, makes and models of hearing aids on the market today is vast, which can make anyone feel overwhelmed. Fortunately, your audiologist is with you every step of the way, and we\u2019ve compiled a list of questions to ask yourself to make the processes easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People who are resistant to getting their first hearing aids often worry that the devices will make them look \u201cold\u201d or be very noticeable. But today\u2019s devices are not like the hearing aids your parents or grandparents wore. Many styles are made to be discreet, and some are even completely invisible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re not worried about your hearing aid blending in, you can order models in bright, fun colors that match your personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People who spend a lot of time out and about require very different hearing aids than people who spend most of their time at home. If you enjoy going out to restaurants, theaters, casinos and\/or religious services, you\u2019ll need much more complex hearing aids to keep up with your lifestyle. If you spend your time at small family gatherings or quiet book clubs, you\u2019ll be able to benefit from much simpler, more budget-friendly technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some hearing aids are compatible with smartphones, tablets, laptops and TVs thanks to Bluetooth technology. With Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids, you can use your devices as a wireless headset, streaming phone calls, music, videos and more straight to your ears. Some hearing aids can also be controlled via an app on your smartphone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
