Question 1

Do I need an audiologist prescription before getting a digital hearing aid?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Prescription digital hearing aids are classified as precision medical instruments. Unlike over-the-counter sound amplifiers, prescription devices must be calibrated to your exact audiometric frequency loss curve to protect residual hearing and ensure speech clarity in noisy environments.

Question 2

What is the difference between rechargeable and zinc-air battery hearing aids?

Accepted Answer

Rechargeable devices (such as Widex SmartRIC and Signia Styletto IX) feature sealed lithium-ion cells that recharge overnight in portable charging cases. Zinc-air models (using sizes 10, 13, 312, or 675 batteries) offer rapid battery swaps and are preferred by patients who travel frequently or need instant continuous power.

Question 3

How long does a comprehensive diagnostic hearing test take at Ensound?

Accepted Answer

A full clinical evaluation—including Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA), Tympanometry, and speech recognition testing in our sound-treated room—typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. Our audiologist discusses the audiogram results with you immediately.

Question 4

Can I test and compare different hearing aid models during my consultation?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely.
