Hearing Aids We Carry
There is no best brand. Best for one person might not be best for the next person.
Some brands are better than others in certain segments of the market. They may be more kid-friendly, have the smallest super-power aid, the most fully-featured economy product, the coolest accessories, or breakthrough features—for the moment.
We technically offer eight brands (from the best-known companies), but it’s hard to keep up with the technology from more than two or three companies. We tend to use one brand most of the time, plus a couple other brands when the patient wants or needs a certain feature, accessory, or price point. Our primary brand has changed over the years. We look for really good technology at every price point, good product design, software that lets us adjust things as we see fit, and companies with good people and business practices.
All of our hearing aids are digital and most are Bluetooth enabled for iPhones and some Android phones. Many are rechargeable and/or have a version of tinnitus management/sound therapy. Currently we fit mostly Signia and Starkey, but we can fit others as needed.
