If you’re tired of asking people to repeat themselves, it’s time to get a hearing aid.

You Will Need

  • A hearing test
  • Health insurance coverage or money to cover the cost of the hearing aid

Step 1: Determine how many you need

Determine whether you need a hearing aid for one or both ears, based on the recommendation of an audiologist.

Step 2: Consider your budget

Determine how much money you have to spend on a hearing aid, or what your health insurance will cover.

Step 3: Consider your budget

Choose a hearing aid that sits completely or partially in the ear canal, in the outer ear, or behind the ear.

Smaller hearing aids are less visible but usually less powerful and more expensive.

Step 4: Test before you buy

Test the aid to see whether it works well for you. Check return policy details in case you need to return it after purchase.

Scientists conduct experiments on parasitic flies’ ears to improve the quality of hearing aids.
