  2. The Downside to Buying Hearing Aids Online Internet has its share of advantages, no doubt. You get to place the order in the comfort of your home, and may also enjoy privacy. However, there are no one-to-one discussions or comprehensive tests online, which are often necessary when you are buying something as complex as a pair of hearing aids. A website or an online provider may also not succeed in: 08 8362 6099 Email: reception@hassa.com.au

  3. Meeting Your Individual Requirements For you to get the right pair of aids, the provider must know about your lifestyle, and is aware of your medical history. However, it may not always be possible to furnish this information online. So, you are at the risk of getting a “generic” pair of hearing aids, one that may or may not do you any good. For a pair that’s in sync with your listening needs, you need to have a thorough discussion in person. 08 8362 6099 Email: reception@hassa.com.au

  4. Prevention is better than cure • Did you know that too much earwax can interfere with your hearing? Or something as serious as ear infection might take place because of excessive rubbing. • The infection might also create a blockage, thereby narrowing the ear canal. Of course, some of us are latrophobic and would avoid a visit to the doctor’s clinic. • So, preventive measuresmust be adopted in order to stay uninfected. 08 8362 6099 Email: reception@hassa.com.au

  5. Conducting Screening and Subsequent Tests Even if the provider somehow manages to screen your hearing online, chances are that they won’t be performing any of the following tests, which are essential to figure out what kind of aids would suit you best: 08 8362 6099 Email: reception@hassa.com.au

  7. Loudness discomfort testing • Are you able to tolerate loud sounds? If so, to what extent? • The test may help the audiologist in setting the aids in such a way that such sounds do not cause any discomfort • To cut a long story short, it’s always good to visit a certified audiologist, especially if you want the pair of aids to deliver the best possible results 08 8362 6099 Email: reception@hassa.com.au
