If you have a severe hearing loss, then you should only consider purchasing a hearing device that offers plenty of amplification to meet your needs.

How Does It Look?

There are many others who feel rather differently. Cosmetically their device needs to be invisible when worn. Thanks to recent advances in technological design, there are many more styles now available, other than the in-the-ear hearing aids (ITE). These include small behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids with thin tubing. The receiver-in-canal (RIC) style is also worth a closer look.

How Much Maintenance Are You Willing To Do?

When it comes to looking after your hearing aid, there are some that require more maintenance than others. To keep your hearing aids in top working order, accessories can help maintain its functionality so you can continue to enjoy the sounds you love should any parts begin to under perform. For example, In-the-ear devices are likely to need extra attention compared to a behind-the-ear device. Proximity to the ear canal, means moisture and wax deposits are likely to build up, hence the need for more cleaning. This factor is particularly important if you’ve got dexterity issues, as the process can be fiddly.

What about Batteries?

A hearing aid won't operate without batteries. The life of a battery for a hearing aid will vary depending on usage and other factors. There are costs associated with hearing aid batteries, but if you don't want the hassle, or find it hard to change the tiny batteries of your hearing aid then maybe rechargeable hearing aids are the answer.

How Much Technology Do You Need?

They can connect up directly or indirectly to other listening devices within your home, including mobile phones, TV’s, MP3’s and computers. Ask yourself – do you think you’ll use this facility? Will it make a difference to your hearing experience? For those who say yes, you now know this is a feature you want to look out for when choosing your hearing aid. If the answer is no, you don’t think wireless connectivity is something you’ll use, save a lot of money.
