Hearing Loss Is More Noticeable…
Than A Hearing Aid.

The secure fit keeps the buds in place while jogging or at the gym. They also make lower volumes more satisfying to protect hearing.

• Swim molds
• Hearing Protective devices for musicians and hunters
• Telephone and Bluetooth headsets

Size Options
Consult with your audiologist on which sizes of hearing aids are appropriate for you. The most important consideration is the hearing test results. The degree and shape of the hearing loss help determine which sizes are recommended. Durability, battery life, personal preference and the dexterity of the client should also be reviewed. Together, you and your audiologist can narrow down your options so that you can make an educated choice. Keep in mind that all hearing aids have a 30 day trial period. You can change your mind if you choose a model you end up uncomfortable with.

Choose the technology to fit your lifestyle
What is your lifestyle? As you review the following questions, think about not only today, but what you will be doing over the life span of the hearing aids – approximately 5 years.

• Do you spend most of your time at home, in quiet situations?
• Do you watch TV? Do people complain that it is loud?
• Are most of your conversations one on one?
• Do you go to church? Is there a coffee hour?
• What type of restaurants do you frequent? Are they quiet or noisy?
• Do you attend meetings?
• Do you participate in small group activities?
• How about parties, travel or other situations where there are many people present?
• Do you enjoy the theater?
• Are family gatherings large and noisy?
• Do you have trouble conversing in a car?

The above questions are designed to help you choose the level of technology that fits your lifestyle. Your audiologist can answer questions about the various technology options. Make an educated decision and use your 30 day trial to make changes if needed.
