Where to Buy Hearing Aids?
If your doctor says you need hearing aids, your first question most likely will be “where to buy hearing aids?’ Most people should go to a hearing aid specialist, called an audiologist, or ear, nose and throat doctor for an exam, to determine if hearing loss is in one or both ears, the level of hearing loss in one or both ears and to discuss how to purchase a hearing aid.
Why Get a Hearing Exam?
Unless your doctor gives you an exam to test your level of hearing loss in one or both ears, it is not recommended to waive your right to a hearing exam to purchase hearing aids. While you have the legal right to waive a hearing exam, it may not be in your best interest. Some hearing aid specialists will sell you hearing aids without an exam, but unless you know the level of hearing loss you have, how you got the hearing loss, and what is needed to correct your hearing, it’s like you telling a mechanic what’s wrong with your car and telling how to fix it, when he’s the specialist and all you really know is it is making a funny noise.
Many hospitals and clinics will give free or low cost hearing exams by an audiologist or ear, nose and throat specialist, especially to people on fixed income or low income, so you should be able to get a hearing test if you suspect you or a loved one has hearing loss.
Where to Buy Hearing Aids?
While the audiologist may try to sell you hearing aids, there are many low cost hearing aids available on the internet. One of the best hearing aids we have found is from MDHearingaid, a company started by a doctor whose many patients were unable to afford the high cost of hearing aids, with the best hearing aids that had excellent sound amplification costing $800 to $1,200 dollars.
Regardless of where you buy the hearing aid, the audiologist will program the hearing aid and help fit it to your ear. This is no different than going to an eye doctor for an exam and then buying your glasses at Walmart. The eye doctor or one of the assistants will help fit your glasses regardless of where you bought them. This is no different with an audiologist and hearing aids.
This doctor compared cheap hearing aids costing $200 to the expensive hearing aids that sold for over $500 a piece, and developed this device to improve hearing loss that offers the sound amplification of the expensive hearing aids, but at the cost of the inexpensive hearing aids.
This low cost hearing aid from MDHearingaid is the best selling hearing aid on Amazon.com.
