What Consumer Want To Hear

As hearing-instrument manufacturers continue to make technical advancements that lead to ever smaller and “smarter” products, consumers find they have more reasons to purchase a hearing device. Foremost among the features that hearing-impaired consumers find most desirable are “multiple program settings,” each of which can be programmed for a different listening environment. This feature enables wearers of programmable instruments to transition easily from quiet environments such as libraries to noisy restaurants and even larger venues such as soccer fields and football stadiums. These different settings can be selected with the push of a button on the instrument itself, on a remote control, or via an app on a cell phone. This flexibility vastly improves listening ability and comfort.

Although you might suspect that you need help with your hearing, you may not be aware of the different instruments and other enhancement devices that are available today. It takes the knowledge, experience, and dedication of an audiologist to accurately assess an individual’s hearing loss and then match and custom-fit that individual with the most appropriate hearing aid.
