| Do hearing aids restore hearing back to normal? Hearing aids do not restore hearing to “normal”. Just as eyeglasses do not “cure” your vision problem, hearing aids do not “cure” your hearing loss. Like eyeglasses, hearing aids provide benefit and improvement. They can improve your hearing and listening abilities and they can substantially improve your quality of life. Can you save money by purchasing hearing aids online or by mail order? Beware of mail order or online hearing aid sales. By working with an audiologist, you are purchasing professional care and service including appropriate evaluation, referral for medical treatment if and when necessary, one-on-one instruction in how to use the hearing aid, follow-up care and support, repair services and rehabilitation services. Can a hearing aid further damage my hearing? A properly fitted and maintained hearing aid will not damage your hearing. This is why it is very important to be seen by an audiologist with the experience and education to provide you with the best service. What if I think my hearing is not bad enough for a hearing aid? Everyone’s hearing loss and listening needs are different. By working with your audiologist, you can determine how much a hearing aid will improve your hearing. Why do I need two hearing aids versus one hearing aid? People normally hear with two ears. Binaural hearing helps us localize sound, assists us in noisy settings and provides us with natural sound quality. Most people with hearing loss in both ears benefit with two hearing aids versus one hearing aid and can understand better.
How do I determine which style hearing aid is best for me?
