Old people are hard of hearing, so they always have to speak loudly to hear. I heard that hearing AIDS can be worn. How to choose a hearing aid?

How do the elderly choose hearing AIDS?

1, brand

Because hearing AIDS need to be debugged regularly, the after-sales service of hearing AIDS is a very important part. Brand hearing AIDS will be deployed by professionals to help patients choose the hearing aid that is most suitable for TA. If you buy an unbranded hearing aid directly at will, it will probably have no effect at all.

Therefore, when choosing a hearing aid, at least one brand should be selected, so that once something goes wrong, you can find a merchant for after-sales treatment, which is more reliable and reliable.

2. Degree of hearing impairment

Everyone has different hearing impairment and different requirements for hearing compensation. If you choose an inappropriate hearing aid, you may not be able to provide enough hearing compensation for patients. If the sound emitted by the hearing aid is too loud, it may further aggravate the degree of hearing loss. Therefore, before buying a hearing aid, you must do a hearing test and choose according to the hearing test chart. Fully understanding the degree of hearing impairment can effectively improve the chances of choosing a suitable hearing aid.

3. Fitting

Fitting is actually the most important point in the process of choosing hearing AIDS. In fact, the fitting of hearing AIDS and glasses is the same, and fitting is essential.

Some shop assistants lack common sense of audiology and only recommend them based on sales experience, which makes it difficult for patients to buy hearing AIDS that suit them, resulting in many patients buying them but still not using them. In fact, middle and high-grade hearing AIDS are not simply amplifying sound, but require modulation in many aspects.

4. Style

There are many styles of hearing AIDS, so you can choose the most practical one according to your own needs. Older people generally don't pursue beauty, so they can choose something that is practical, cost-effective and easy to wear and choose.

5. Reasonable expectations

Hearing AIDS can amplify or adjust the sound entering the patient's ear, but they can't restore the patient's normal hearing. If the patient's expectation of hearing aid is too high, it is likely that the patient will feel "ineffective" when wearing it for the first time and refuse to continue using the hearing aid. Therefore, the adaptation of hearing AIDS requires a process. At the beginning, patients can wear it when needed, and then extend it for a little time every day to adjust their mentality and adapt slowly.

6. Economic capacity

The price of hearing AIDS ranges from several hundred yuan to tens of thousands of yuan, but the more expensive the better. We should choose a suitable one according to our actual needs and other circumstances. But it is best not to buy hundreds of hearing AIDS, because it is easy to "get deaf the more you listen."

7. Middle ear condition

When choosing a hearing aid, you should first check your middle ear. If the patient has otitis media, it is not suitable to wear hearing AIDS. If you have ever suffered from otitis media, don't choose the in-ear type, use the behind-the-ear type, and pay attention to the moistureproof of the hearing aid. Don't wear it for too long, but often take it off to let the ear canal breathe. RIC's hearing aid is relatively breathable and will not cause otitis media.

8. After-sales service

It is very important to choose a merchant with good after-sales service. The price of an upper middle school hearing aid is also a bit expensive. Often a hearing aid will be used for several years, so long-term and reliable after-sales service is very important.

Especially the patients who just started wearing hearing AIDS are not very familiar with the related matters of hearing AIDS, and some problems may occur during the use, so after-sales service is needed to solve them.

And people's hearing loss is constantly changing. Wearing a hearing aid does not guarantee that hearing will no longer decline, so the hearing aid of patients in the later stage still needs to be adjusted. Therefore, the choice of hearing AIDS should consider the brand's after-sales service.

In short, the choice of hearing AIDS is not the best, only the most suitable. The more suitable your hearing aid is, the more likely it is to produce the best effect.
