What are your priorities when buying a life-enhancing product? 

For example, when you last upgraded your cell phone did you go for a rugged model designed to withstand outdoor activities or did you opt for a slim upgrade with lots of memory and connectivity to the largest app store? This speaks volumes for what your priorities are when choosing a device that is used on a daily basis.

If you believe in quality products with second-to-none functionality then why deviate from this when choosing a hearing device? If you’re uncertain if the financial investment in top quality hearing aids is worth it, then read our top six reasons why you can’t afford to live without one.

1. Advanced technology:

Just as there is a huge difference between a landline phone and an iPhone, so there is a big leap between a basic hearing device and the latest model. The technology inside the device enables advanced features such as automatic background noise reduction to activate as necessary.

2. Intuitive use:

Don’t fancy fiddling with a switch or dial in the middle of a date? More advanced hearing aids are programed to detect the noise-scape around you and switch on programs that cancel out noise pollution, such as the dinner table in a restaurant. This frees you up to enjoy the social event, rather than be distracted by changing your hearing aid settings.

3. Digital adaptability:

Digital hearing aids take the sound waves, convert them to a digital signal, clean them up, and then transmit the crisp, clear sound into your ear. This conversion to digital means all sorts of magical things can happen in terms of improving the noise you hear in order to improve your listening experience.

4. Bluetooth enabled:

Digital connectivity also means you are Bluetooth enabled and have all the convenience of wireless listening. Your hearing aid can connect directly to your cell phone, TV, laptop, radio, MP3 or whatever device you might wish to listen to. Not only are you cable free, but you can also adjust the volume via your device, rather than crank up the TV volume to an uncomfortable level for your family.

5. Discretion:

Many of the top hearing devices for mild-to-moderate hearing loss are incredibly tiny. Some even fit deep within the ear canal, making them nearly invisible. If you would prefer wearing a hearing aid to be your little secret, then these devices can make that happen. 

6. Waterproof

Some models are waterproof, making them ideal for the keen sportsperson who sweats or swims, or for those working outside in the rain.

Remember, there are lots of models to choose from and your audiologist can further guide you.
