   HEARING AIDS: HOW TO CHOOSE A HEARING AID   
Hearing plays a vital part of your life. You want to make sure that when you choose a hearing instrument, it fits your hearing loss and your lifestyle.

Four considerations to ensure you get the most effective hearing instrument for your hearing loss, your lifestyle, and your budget are:

Finding a hearing professional you can trust - Your hearing specialist will guide you through every step, from evaluating your hearing and fitting your new hearing instrument, to follow up and adjustments of your hearing devices.

Over 60 years of experience has taught Southwestern Hearing Centers' personnel that the process should be simple, and a true collaboration between patient and their hearing professional.

Results of a hearing test: The first step in choosing which instrument is best for you is a simple hearing evaluation. This allows your hearing specialist to identify the type and severity of your hearing loss, and which level of technology will deliver the best sound quality for you and your lifestyle.

Lifestyle Considerations - Other factors such as daily activities, cosmetic appearance, and physical needs should be considered when choosing which hearing instrument is best for you.

At Southwestern Hearing Centers, we get to know your daily activities, hobbies, and which environments present the greatest hearing struggles. This information gives our hearing experts a clear understanding of the required technological needs for your hearing instrument.

Cosmetic appearance, dexterity, and eyesight can influence which style of hearing instrument will fit you the best. The smallest instruments are the most discreet, but if your eyesight and/or dexterity is not what they used to be, smaller hearing instrument styles will be difficult to use.

Pricing & Follow-Up Service. Pricing and follow-up care should also be considered when choosing which hearing instrument is the best for you. When comparing pricing, take into consideration: features, technology, and style. Ask you hearing specialist if there are any charges for follow-up services.

As a patient at Southwestern Hearing Centers, you will receive a complete demonstration and pricing explanation on various hearing instruments that will fit your hearing loss and lifestyle. This explanation ensures you a hearing instrument that improves the quality of your life and fits within your budget needs.

All service and follow up care is FREE for the lifetime of your hearing instrument at Southwestern Hearing Centers. You never will pay for a hearing instrument adjustment, hearing instrument cleaning, or minor repairs that can be done in our office.
