[quote=Anonymous]Some audiologists will let you wear them and see how they feel. An important reason to use an audiologist is that with the better hearing aids they can adjust the hearing aid to your specific needs. For example, I have trouble hearing in the low end of the audible spectrum, and they tuned my hearing aid to increase the audibility of those tones but not everything else that I was hearing just fine. Last summer, my regular hearing aid conked out because the battery died, and I was on travel. I went to Walmart and got a cheap hearing aid that cost about $100. It really wasn’t very good - better than nothing, but still far inferior to my Oticon. Another thing is that hearing aid technology is advancing fast. A new generation comes out every two years or so. They say the newer hearing aids will incorporate artificial intelligence, but I’m not really sure what that will been in practice.[/quote]
