Hearing Loss: Come introduce yourself and connect with others
Hearing Loss | Last Active: 6 days ago | Replies (1521)Comment receiving replies
Hello. I recently decided to take my hearing loss seriously and, after having my hearing test completed and having gotten recommendations made by my audiologist about which Signia model to order, I am trying to decide exactly what to do next in order to decide on which hearing aid to get.

The best advice I can give you is to try what the audiologist suggests but be honest with both that provider and yourself. If you are not getting enough help with those aids, ask to try a different model.
Providers generally allow only a 30-day trial period for returning the product. A few allow 60 days. That is in the fine print of whatever you are asked to sign. Be sure to read it...and ask questions. It takes time to get used to using hearing aids. Be sure to try them in all the places you usually want and need to go. Too many people get frustrated and take them off rather than continuing to experiment. The brain needs time to adjust to hearing sound that way.
IMPORTANT: You are entitled to a copy of the test results from your provider. Ask for it. If you don't feel comfortable with what you are being fit with, you will have the audiogram to take elsewhere.
Does the audiologist you are seeing sell only one brand?
