<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nA patient may choose a hearing aid based on appearance and functionality. For example, completely in-canal and in-the-canal hearing aids are not highly visible, but also do not include directional microphones. The smaller devices cannot hold as large of batteries and may not help with moderately severe to severe hearing loss. In-the-ear and behind-the-ear hearing aids, though more visible, can be more effective for those with profound deafness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In other words, you need to take into account a variety of factors when choosing a hearing aid; these include personal preference, lifestyle needs, technology options and price tag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no one-size-fits-all option when it comes to hearing devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cost vs. Value<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Hearing aids range in price based on the type of hearing loss they treat and the technology required to match your lifestyle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consider all the activities that you are unable to fully enjoy because of your hearing loss. Do you miss parts of conversations with loved ones? Do you avoid your favorite restaurants because you have difficulty ordering food? Do you enjoy music but miss out on the nuances of your favorite songs? Hearing aids can help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While higher tier technology comes with a larger price tag, there are many features that wearers find essential. Today\u2019s newest devices can connect to your smartphone and TV via Bluetooth\u00ae so you can stream calls, music, your favorite shows and more. In addition, some models offer rechargeable batteries and auto-adjustments when you enter a new listening environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Happiness from Hearing Aids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When you shop for hearing aids, be sure to consider all<\/em> your needs, not just budget. Purchasing low-tier technology will work for some, but if you have a more complex or profound hearing loss, you will not achieve your full hearing potential with baseline technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We understand that investing in many of today\u2019s top-of-the-line devices is a major strain on your budget, which is why we offer a selection of hearing aid financing options to our patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We don\u2019t want you to feel limited in your hearing aid financing plan options, which is why we offer lines of credit from both CareCredit\u00ae and Wells Fargo Health Advantage\u00ae.
