What Questions Should I Ask Before Buying My Hearing Aid?

Before you buy a hearing aid, ask your audiologist these important questions:

• Are there any medical or surgical considerations or corrections for my hearing loss?
• Which model is best for my hearing loss?
• What is the total cost of the hearing aid?
• Is there a trial period to test the hearing aids?
• What fees are nonrefundable if they are returned during the trial period?
• How long is the warranty? Can it be extended?
• Does the warranty cover future maintenance and repairs?
• Can the audiologist make adjustments and provide servicing and minor repairs?
• Will loaner aids be provided when repairs are needed?
• What instruction does the audiologist provide?
• Can assistive devices such as a telecoil be used with the hearing aids?
