Hearing Aid Technology Levels

Today’s hearing aids are available in a variety of technology levels. Selecting the appropriate hearing aid technology levels is a critical part of the hearing aid purchasing process. Not all patients need or desire premium or advanced levels of technology, and excellent results can often be obtained with more basic models. However, advanced and premium hearing aids do offer significant advantages, both in hearing aid performance and warranty/service agreements. Bluetooth accessories can be purchased for all technology levels at an additional cost.
