Your lifestyle will help determine the technology level that will best meet your hearing needs.

Where do you spend most of your time?

Quiet? Basic technology designed to help people who are less active or spend the majority of their time in quiet environments, like reading and listening to music.

One-on-One? Select technology designed for simple listening environments such as one-on-one conversations and small groups.

Noisy? Advanced technology designed to be used in relatively easy listening situations with some noise, like quiet restaurants, meetings, and card games.

Very Noisy? Premium technology designed for active people that frequent a variety of listening environments, including events with crowds or high noise levels like sporting events, noisy restaurants and concerts.

Sitting down with a professional that is not on a tight time schedule is your best option for figuring out what your specific needs for amplification are. Choose your hearing professional wisely, so you do not feel rushed or hurried in any way.
