Thinking of getting a hearing aid after consulting your doctor you need to do some market research yourself. The device you need depends on the type and severity of hearing loss, whether a small intra aural device or a BTE (behind the ear) device, a conventional analogue device or an ultimate digital device.
The best way to decide on a hearing aid device is by knowing your budget and then going thru the features of the different brands, checking out hearing aid reviews on different devices and then getting the best deal.Some of the top brands and their salient features are as follows:
Acuris from Seimens features:E2E(ear to ear) wireless functions-(you make adjustments to one side and both get adjusted so it works in total harmony),extremely advanced digital signal processing with 16bands/8 channels(sound slices used to adjust gain and compression respectively),high-speed feedback and remote control option. The hearing aid review about this Acuris device is ‘this is as good as hearing aids can get’,the ultimate computerised technology cuts background sounds,the remote control helps one adjust increase or decrease in the background sound plus helps you know from which direction sounds are coming. Hearing aid comparisons and with other digital or analogue also are in favour of the Acuris and next in line is the Triano from Seimens followed by Rexton Regata and Targa. This also gives us an idea of the hearing aids ratings ,the Seimens Acuris topping the hearing aid rating and the conventional Analogue variety hitting the bottom of the hearing aid ratings.
Triano from Seimens costing around $1650 is again by far one of the technologically advanced aids. This has a unique speech comfort system, smooth listening, intelligent circuitry(can separate voices from background noises) and 16channels / 8 bands.
Thus make sure you guys get as many reviews a possible before you buy a hearing aid device.
