How to choose a hearing aid?
Hearing aids are designed to help people with hearing loss enjoy the rich world of sound, reproducing natural sounds as clearly as possible, and to hear well and therefore feel comfortable not only in quiet but also in noisy environments. Modern hearing aids differ in specific features, connection methods and design.
When choosing a hearing aid, pay special attention to your lifestyle: do you like to be active (interacting with lots of people, spending a lot of time in noisy places) or quiet (spending most of your time in a quiet home environment). Once you have considered all the details, discuss them with your hearing care professional.
Key parameters for selecting hearing aids:
- Audiological – assessing the type (neurosensory, conductive, mixed) and level (mild, moderate, severe) of hearing impairment can help you decide how much hearing aids are needed.
- Physiological – to assess the anatomical shape of the ear canal. It also takes into account the person’s needs, the technical parameters of the hearing aid and the comfort of use.
