Don't Rely on Friends to Find the Best Hearing Aids for You

[00:00:00]I've had cases where, yes, I have individuals come in and say, "Oh, my friend tried this hearing aid and it and it changed their life. Um, I really want the same exact hearing aid." And sometimes that hearing aid works really well for the individual, but the majority of the time it's not necessarily the most appropriate device for their hearing loss. But because they're insistent and they have this preconceived notion that the hearing device is the best hearing aid um and the greatest thing since sliced bread will always try the hearing aid for them. Um but more often than not they're not they don't get this wow factor that their friend um seems to be uh claiming that there is. So the best thing is ultimately again to consider the whole patient, understand what their hearing loss is, what their needs are and provide the hearing aid that's most appropriate or give options I should say for hearing aids that are most appropriate for their needs for their types of hearing loss and what's going to give them the best outcome in improved quality of life.
