Tips for Buying Hearing Aids
Are you planning to buy a pair of hearing aids? Here are a few tips to guide you in the process and avoid falling victim to hearing aids scams that have become so common today.
1. You no longer need to pay thousands to an audiologist for a prescription
For many years, the hearing aid world was dominated by the audiology profession. You couldn’t buy a pair of hearing aids without having to first pay a huge amount of money to get a prescription from an audiologist. It was like in the past when you had to first book an appointment with an optometrist to get a prescription for glasses. You could not buy glasses without prescriptions. The same applied to hearing aids. Fortunately, you now don’t need to pay thousands of dollars to an audiologist or the so-called “ear-readers” for a prescription. You can now buy a good pair of hearing aids over the counter without a prescription.
2. Hearing aids and amplifiers are the same thing
Let no one tell you there’s a difference between hearing aids and amplifiers. They’re both one and the same thing because they both perform the same function, which is to amplify sound.
3. Digital hearing aids are better than analog
It is true that analog hearing aids are a little cheaper and easier to use. However, thanks to advanced technology, digital hearing aids come with more features and benefits than their analog counterparts. They provide excellent service.
4. Not all digital hearing aids are 100-percent digital
The popularity of digital products and technology has led some companies to advertise their hearing aids products as 100% digital programmable. The truth is that not all of them are 100% digital. Check for wireless or Bluetooth connectivity features before you buy a hearing aid product that claims to be digital.
5. Rechargeable batteries are always better
If you don’t want to keep on replacing expensive batteries every now and then, go for a product with rechargeable batteries. It’s easier to recharge than to replace but make sure the batteries give you a whole day’s service in one charge.
1. Safeguard your purchase with a warranty
Hearing aids don’t come cheap which is why you should always ask for a warranty. Buy from a manufacturer who provides at least a year’s warranty and easy return policies. This is very important, especially when buying cheaper hearing aids, which could easily stop working a few hours after purchase.
2. High-quality hearing aids are now more affordable than before
In the past, high-quality hearing aids were only available at extremely high prices ranging from $1,500 to over $5,000. The good news is that you no longer have to pay an arm and leg to get a pair of hearing aids with all the high-end features. You can buy great over-the-counter hearing aids with digital technology, noise cancelling features, rechargeable batteries, and everything else you need in a good hearing aid at a very reasonable price.
You don’t even need a hearing test or an expensive audiologist examination to get a prescription for a hearing aid. However, we recommend you get a hearing aid test free of charge from a good manufacturer such as Nano Hearing so you can know which type of hearing aids is best suited for your level of hearing loss. Some over-the-counter hearing aid products such as Nano’s range of digital hearing aids are designed for over 90% of hearing loss cases.
