Hearing Healthcare: Give your hearing aid a test drive

AFP

hearing healthcareIt’s a good idea to give a new digital hearing aid that you’re thinking of purchasing a sort of test drive.

The test drive, ideally, is conducted by your hearing healthcare professional with some noise in the background, so you can experience how hearing aids perform in realistic situations.

The way that’s done is via a simulated sound field. Ask for this kind of simulation, because it will give you a decent demonstration of what to expect from the hearing aids.

With modern computers most hearing healthcare professionals should be able to simulate how you will hear with hearing aids in many listening situations such as in a place of worship, noisy restaurant, at a cocktail party or in a car.
