Budget Hearing Aids

What "budget" means for a hearing aid

Manufacturers sell each hearing aid family in several technology levels. Entry levels use the same build quality and fitting software as premium levels but have fewer processing channels and simpler automatic features, for example less sophisticated noise reduction in busy places.

For many people that is enough. If your days are mostly spent at home, in one-to-one conversation or in quiet offices, an entry-level device fitted properly to your audiogram can work very well.

Where an entry-level model may fall short

If you often need to follow conversation in noisy places such as weddings, restaurants or busy meetings, a higher technology level usually helps more. We explain the differences honestly after your hearing test so you can decide what is worth paying for.

Every hearing aid we fit, whatever its level, comes with a 1-year manufacturer warranty, 6 months of batteries, custom ear molds and a first follow-up fine-tuning after 4 weeks.
