How To Choose A Hearing Aid For Your Mom Or Dad
Sons or daughters are often the caretakers for their parents. Or at least they are usually consulted with before any major purchases such as a hearing aid.
My advice is, of course, to make sure they have seen their Doctor and get a hearing test to be sure a hearing aid will benefit them.
The next issue that is most important when getting a hearing aid is the servicing aspect of the aid. Purchasing a hearing aid is the most important first step. However, without proper cleaning and servicing, that great-sounding amplification won’t last long.
HearPod provides video instructions, as well as detailed manuals showing our patients how to service and clean their hearing aids. This is where we save our patients huge amounts of money. Most patients are able to do the routine servicing or have someone who can help them. Like I was told by one of our patients, “It ain’t rocket science.” I agree, it is simple. However, if you are not capable of doing these easy procedures routinely, then you should pay someone to care for your cleaning needs.
The third point to consider is the activity of Mom or Dad. If they are only at home watching TV then a good quality digital chip like our 4 channel would be a very good solution and save you a lot of money.
What often happens when hearing is restored is that you will see someone change into a party animal. Well, not that drastic. I was trying to picture my mom and dad as party animals and I just couldn’t. Anyway, you get the point. Being able to hear and communicate with others changes lives, and for active people our 32 channel digital is the perfect choice.
If you choose HearPod to help you, all you need to do is choose the model of HearPod, then choose the 4 or 32 channel digital chips, and send us a copy of your doctor’s hearing test results.
Helping people hear better is one of the true pleasures in my life.
