Hearing Aid Information
An NOWiHEAR Audiologist is your best source of information on hearing aids; he or she will explain how hearing aids can improve your listening capabilities and quality of life. However, if you would prefer to research hearing aids in the comfort of your own home, there are a number of reputable Internet resources available. Here are some websites that you may find helpful when researching hearing aids and other hearing devices:
National Institutes of Health
This resource from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders addresses all aspects of hearing aids, such as selecting the right one for your needs, adjusting to your new hearing aid, caring for your hearing aid, and obtaining financial assistance to pay for your hearing aid.
Food and Drug Administration
The Food and Drug Administration, which regulates hearing aids, has a wealth of information on its website, specifically about safety issues associated with the devices.
American Association for Retired Professionals
The American Association for Retired Professionals publishes a consumer guide to hearing aids that answers many frequently asked questions about hearing loss, aids, and other assistive listening devices.
Better Hearing Institute
The Better Hearing Institute has a comprehensive guide to hearing aids, which explains the styles, technology, and features of hearing aids. They’ve also written Your Guide to Buying Hearing Aids to accompany you throughout the five-step customer experience of purchasing hearing aids. This guide includes sections on what to expect during your initial appointment and assessment with a hearing care professional, your first hearing aid fitting, and your follow-up and aftercare.
American Speech-Language-Hearing Association
If you have questions about any aspect of hearing aids, including health insurance coverage or myths and facts about the devices, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association’s website is a good place to look.
