3. How do I determine if I'm a candidate for a hearing aid?
The first step is to make an appointment for a hearing evaluation. Your hearing specialist will ask you about your day-to-day challenges with your hearing and your family history of hearing loss. They'll also ask about your occupation and any medications that you may be taking, as they may have contributed to your hearing loss. If a hearing instrument is an option, your specialist will discuss with you the various available technologies. You'll be given a hearing instrument for a 30-day trial period. The results from this trial will determine the benefits of the amplification and increased hearing.
