For first time hearing aid users, we strongly encourage that hearing aids are purchased along with a professional care plan. This is important during the adaptation process as well as for ongoing success with the devices. Hearing care plans are especially important for individuals who may need more assistance with their hearing devices, such as those with cognitive and memory issues, vision issues, dexterity issues, severe hearing difficulties, fluctuating hearing, limited familial support, very complex listening needs (such as musicians), and those who have had difficulties with hearing devices in the past.
Hearing aids are only one piece of the puzzle when it comes to treating hearing loss.
5 Keys to Communication Success is an auditory rehabilitation program for people with hearing loss and their communication partners.
Levels of Technology
Much like computers, hearing aids have a processing chip that executes the various operations and functions programmed into the device.
A higher, or more advanced, level of technology means the hearing aid has a more sophisticated processing chip—it can execute more complex algorithms and functions. A better chip means better hearing aid performance, which results in perceivable benefits such as more natural sound quality, improved background noise reduction, greater comfort for loud noises, and so on.
It is important to keep in mind that not every style or level of hearing aid may be appropriate for you.
