If you’re one of the 15 million Americans suffering with some form of hearing loss, and you’ve been told the words “you need hearing aids”, then more than likely you’ve flinched a little at the price tag that comes with the top of the range ones.
And sure, for most people, they’re not Walmart prices.
But let us tell you this – there are two huge reasons why some hearing aids are more expensive than others, and once you know them, you’ll not only see why, you’ll be ensuring that you invest that little extra to get the right one.
Reason #1 – Technology
A LOT of research, time, and money has been spent on the quality and function of hearing aids to make them extremely powerful, life-enhancing little machines.
Long gone are the days of those cumbersome, conspicuous bricks – today, they’re small, discreet, and a lot more attractive.
They can now resist water and dust, wirelessly stream sound from your cell phone, loop into the feedback systems of major public buildings, and so much more.
Basically, the advanced technology now means the wearer can, in many cases, have a much better sound quality than before they even had a problem!
#2 Custom fit to your needs
Your hearing problem is as unique to you as you are to the world, which means, standard, off-the-shelf hearings aid models might not actually target the areas you need them to.
True, custom-made hearing aids are an investment, however they will provide you with a whole wealth of benefits that are completely unique to your requirements, plus:
-
- They’re much more comfortable to wear
- They’re really clever with features such as:
- Telecoil
- Bluetooth
- Directional microphone
- Feedback suppression
- Digital noise reduction
- Automatic and manual volume control
- Wireless connectivity between devices
- Direct audio input
- Low battery indicators
- Data logging
- They’re designed to last a really long time
