Getting hearing aids is a big decision and a smart investment towards your future quality of life. Before you make the decision, consider these tips to help ensure you get the best hearing aids for your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do\u2019s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Do speak with a hearing professional about situations you want to hear and communicate in better.
2. Do bring a third party or significant other with you to the appointment.
3. Do ask about follow-up care plans and what to expect from your new hearing aids.
4. Do be honest with your hearing professional about where and when you struggle to hear and understand.
5. Do ask about payment plans if cost is a concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019ts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Don\u2019t make your choice based just on the cost of the hearing aid.
2. Don\u2019t assume your hearing loss is \u201cnormal\u201d for your age. Hearing loss is never normal.
3. Don\u2019t skip the service plan. Your hearing needs change over time and a service plan will make sure your hearing professional will be able to have your aids adapt with you.
4. Don\u2019t buy hearing aids from anyone who doesn\u2019t test your hearing.
5. Don\u2019t pick a hearing aid based on buzz words. Choose hearing aids that will help you when and where you want help.
