How do I know which hearing aid is right for me?

Start with your audiogram. It decides which types have the power for your hearing loss. Then your week and your budget choose between the models that fit. The Fit Check takes you through all three.

Do I need my hearing test report?

Yes. The type of hearing aid is decided by the numbers on your audiogram, the chart from a hearing test. Upload a photo of it and AI reads the marks for you to check, or tap them onto the chart yourself. One ear is enough to start.

Which type do I need: receiver in the canal, behind the ear or in the ear?

That depends on how much power your hearing loss needs at each pitch, so no single type suits everyone. The Fit Check tests every type against your own marks and shows the one that carries your hearing with room to spare, and any others that also work.

Do I need an expensive hearing aid?

Not always. Your hearing decides the type. The price level comes from your week: a quiet routine needs fewer features than a week of meetings, calls and noisy places. The Fit Check shows three levels with the models that fit you on each, and what a pair usually costs.

Why does it only show Signia and Phonak?

Because those are the two brands we fit and service. We are not paid to prefer either, and the check runs the same fitting test on every model from both.

Can the answer be no hearing aid?

Yes. If every speech pitch sits in the normal range, it says so. If something looks treatable, it says to see an ENT first. If one ear cannot be helped by an aid on it, it points you to the CROS check instead.

Where should we send the models?

The models we sell that carry this hearing open on the next screen, with prices. We send a copy on WhatsApp so you have it, and so an audiologist can check the reading against the real report.
