Hearing aids are cheaper by tens of hundreds and more expensive by thousands to tens of thousands. What is the difference between them? Do you have to buy the expensive ones?
Price of hearing aids is one of the main considerations when buying hearing aids. Usually, the hearing impaired people's requirements for hearing aids are firstly, good effect, and secondly, the price is acceptable. For most hearing impaired people, it is better to have a good price, that is, the cost-effectiveness should be high.
If buying a hearing aid can be judged solely on the basis of the price of the hearing aid and the technical content of the hearing aid, then it is a relatively simple matter to buy a hearing aid. Many hearing impaired people who use hearing aids buy cheap hearing aids through the Internet, but it can't bring about a better hearing aid, because hearing aids can only be used with good results if they are professionally fitted and selected according to their own hearing loss. The reason is that hearing aids have to be professionally fitted and chosen according to one's hearing loss. As a matter of fact, many hearing impaired people have bought cost-effective hearing aids, which were very affordable at the time of purchase, but they did not get the corresponding hearing aid effect when they brought them home, and they even could not wear them and left them unused. Some of them are so upset that they can't even regret it.
In fact, we have overlooked the most important and easily overlooked factor: the price of hearing aids also includes the professional fitters to accurately and thoroughly grasp the characteristics of the hearing loss of the hearing impaired people, to match the most suitable hearing aid technology to the specific hearing loss of the affected ear, as well as the selection of hearing aids after the continuous, professional, scientific auditory rehabilitation and hearing aid commissioning and services.
Here is just to remind the hearing impaired people to pay attention to this issue, more comparison of various hearing centers specific test items, more professional standards to compare, such as whether the equipment is professional, whether the test items are more and more complete, the hearing aid effect assessment and verification is done, I believe that, as long as you pay attention to this issue, you will certainly come up with the right judgment. The purpose of buying hearing aids is to get results, not to save money. If you buy it and don't use it, it's a waste of money even if it's cheap, and if you accidentally damage the residual hearing in your ears again, it's even more of a loss than it's worth!
How should I choose a hearing aid?
1. Patients in the selection of hearing aids, the first check hearing, to understand the degree and nature of hearing loss, each person has a different hearing loss, different needs, the selection of hearing aids are also different, due to the loss of each band is not the same, so the need for hearing aids according to the audiogram to compensate. A simple one-size-fits-all amplification may result in some frequencies being too loud or too small and still inaudible.
2. Hearing aids compensate the ear according to different frequency bands. If you choose the most basic hearing aids, especially in the noise environment, the resolution of speech will be poorer, the better the hearing aids, the more fine-tuned the sound adjustment, the better the sound compensation effect, the clearer the hearing, the more true, especially in the noise environment, the higher the resolution of speech, the closer the effect of the true ear, the higher the price of hearing aids, the higher the price of hearing aids. The price of hearing aids is higher.
3. Depending on the person, according to what you want to achieve the effect and your economic conditions to match the hearing aid, if your economic conditions allow, try to match the good point of the hearing aid, the service life of the hearing aid 5-8 years, on average, every year is not much more money, the quality of life is completely different.
4. Hearing aids must be accurately fitted and not purchased at random for convenience! Inappropriate use of hearing aids will severely damage the patient's residual hearing! Hearing aids are not sphygmomanometers, and should not be purchased at random from a store. Experienced dispensers, qualified dispensing environments, and professional process control are essential, so patients are advised to seek help from hearing aid dispensing organizations that have qualified medical device licenses and long-term professional experience
5. A good quality hearing aid can be used for many years, and the patient needs to go to a professional organization to have the hearing aid repaired and maintained regularly, and to have the hearing aid redeployed according to the change of hearing.
