You
can't avoid them these days - newspaper and mail advertisements
offering hearing aids at "discount" prices. With all the choices
today, it can be confusing. What's the right style for you, what
does "digital" really mean, where should you get hearing aids and
how much should they cost?
Your most important decision is
where to receive your hearing healthcare. After all, you
probably didn't choose your physician or your dentist based on a
newspaper ad!
Good hearing healthcare includes:
A complete audiologic evaluation of your hearing loss and
hearing needs;
A comprehensive review of available hearing aids by style,
technology and cost;
Follow-up visits to ensure that you're hearing as well as
possible;
An explanation of other sources of help, such as assistive
listening devices for telephone, movies or television;
Regular hearing check-ups to monitor your hearing and your
hearing aids.
