There are hundreds of highly sophisticated hearing aids available today, and there are many

factors you need to consider when choosing the right hearing aid for your needs.

Many people want “the best” hearing aid, or the “the same fabulous new hearing aid that

my neighbour has”. However, there is no one “best” hearing aid, and what works well for

someone else may not be suitable for your hearing.

Before getting too far into hearing aid technology, let's consider another, more familiar

scenario first. Imagine you are buying a car. What's the “best” car for you?

That depends on many factors - do you want/need:

 a manual or automatic?

 hatchback or sedan?

 4WD drive for heading off–road, or something smooth on city roads?

 Something small and economical, or fast and sporty?

 BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Holden, Kia or..?

 Metallic blue, fire-engine red, or canary yellow?

 Private purchase or company purchase?

 Mag wheels, leather seats, sunroof…?

Many questions to be considered and the answers will differ greatly from person to person.

There are just as many questions to ask, and things to consider, when choosing a hearing

aid; however, the discussion is a little more complicated as hearing aid technology is not

likely to be as familiar to you.

This guide discusses some of the options available in hearing aids. The aim is to help you, in

consultation with your audiologist, decide what features may be beneficial to you. The

information is broken into several sections:

 Styles of hearing aids

 Hearing aid controls

 Technology options

 Hearing aid accessories

 What do the hearing aids need to do?

 What to expect

 Price guide and considerations
