some basic tips on buying hearing aids

TECHNOLOGY EXPLAINED
Don’t let yourself be bamboozled by science and technology; or buy blindly. If you needed to wear hearing aids, wouldn’t you want to know exactly what to look for before you even started?
At ‘hearing check today’, we will instruct you on the few simple measures you can use to determine how good a particular hearing aid is and what you should expect to pay. It’s not complicated and you can become an expert consumer in a few minutes!

ARE YOU READY?
You could waste time and money on buying private hearing aids – or on waiting too long for NHS hearing aids. Why? You may not be ready to accept wearing them. They are notoriously difficult to get used to.
Unfortunately, many new users give up too quickly. It’s so important to know whether or not you are motivated enough to succeed. We can help… again; a little of you time is all that’s needed…

BE A SMART CONSUMER
Do you want to know how to get a truly objective recommendation based solely on what’s best for YOU?
Just as in any other field, your choice of product may be limited by the particular retailer and the recommendation given may be biased, not necessarily in your completely best interests.
Learn about the full choice and an objective ‘whole of market’ opinion!

KNOW MORE
Wouldn’t you like to know exactly how your hearing loss is clinically described and quantified? And by how much your hearing has changed? Wouldn’t it be useful to have your own Audiogram at hand? AND also the other measurement factors particular to you that are used to prescribe your hearing aids?
We will provide you with a diagnostic audiogram to ‘British Society of Audiology’ standards and highlight the significant deciding factors that would definitely be used to prescribe your hearing aids.

UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE BUYING
Did you know that HM Revenue and Customs accept that around two-thirds of the cost of hearing aids is for the professional services provided (or yet to be provided)? These services do not, at present attract VAT.
Hearing aid results are rarely predictable and most instruments are designed to be reprogrammed a few times in the first 3 months — so you need to feel comfortable enough with the original Dispenser to see him/ her repeatedly over the entire period of use. Remember— your hearing aids will also need to be recalibrated at least yearly to keep up with your changing prescription.
