Step-by-step guide

Your guide to choosing hearing aids

  • 1.

    Start with a complementary hearing evaluation

    Every hearing journey begins with understanding your unique hearing profile.

    A free evaluation with one of our licensed Hearing Care Professionals will:

    • Identify hearing challenges, and if so, your type and degree of hearing loss.

    • Provide valuable insight into the hearing aid styles and technologies best suited for you.
  • 2.

    Consider your lifestyle and preferences

    Your daily activities, hobbies, and personal preferences play a big role in choosing the right hearing aid:

    • Lead an active lifestyle?
      Look for durable, sweat-resistant models with advanced noise-cancellation

    • Spend most of your time in quieter environment?
      Simpler models may be all you need for clear conversations at home or in small groups.
       
    • Looking for discreet options?
      Explore nearly invisible, in-the-ear or receiver-in-canal styles.

    Our team will help you weigh these factors to match your lifestyle seamlessly.
