In preparation for meeting with a hearing aid dispenser to buy hearing aids, there are a few steps you should take to ensure that you get the most out of the visit. Most importantly, you should not only have had a complete hearing test administered but you should also have had your test results explained to you in detail. Make sure you have the results handy so you can bring them to discuss with the hearing aid dispenser.

If you are experiencing hearing loss, before you have a hearing test administered, it is important that you first visit your physician or an ENT to find out if there is a medical cause. The doctor will be able to assess your situation and may be able to treat your underlying issues, such as an ear infection, a blockage, or even a hole in your eardrum. Once all of your medical issues have been resolved and your doctor determines that you could potentially benefit from a hearing aid, he or she will then likely recommend that you have a complete round of hearing tests administered.

The results from your latest hearing test may have shown that you were experiencing some form of hearing loss, which, in general, happens gradually as you age. The medical term for hearing loss related to aging is “presbyacusis,” and both exposure to loud noises (tools, machinery, or guns, for example) and genetics can contribute to certain types of hearing problems. Less commonly in people over 55, hearing loss can be caused by infections or inner ear injury. |

It is sometimes hard to accept that one is facing hearing loss and may need a digital hearing aid or other hearing devices to improve one’s quality of life. Jay Gerber, former vice president of the National Football League Film Corporation and current manager of the NFL Frequency Organization Group, had that experience. He states, “At 40 years of age, I could not accept the idea that I was afflicted with a form of progressive hearing loss. It took family and friends over three years to convince me that I should go for a hearing test and get some help.” When you are ready, you will want to start the process of finding out the cause of your hearing loss and then learning what options you have, whether it be the purchase of hearing devices or the pursuit of medical treatment. |

By Henry Smith - Founder of America Hears Before the advent of the Internet created the ability to buy hearing aids online, if you were looking to obtain digital hearing aids for yourself or for a loved one, your options were limited. Historically, you would most likely purchase your hearing aids from someone local: a licensed dispenser, a dispensing audiologist, or an otologist, who in turn acquired the hearing aids from a manufacturer. You could also purchase digital hearing aids from mail order businesses, but they were limited in number and offered limited products as well.
