How do I choose the right hearing aid?

Choosing the right hearing aid starts with a comprehensive hearing test and a detailed discussion with a certified audiologist about your lifestyle, budget, and specific hearing needs. You need a device that works you.

There is a wide variety of devices, features, and price points, so what is best for you is individual. Rather than simply buying a product, you are investing in a complete hearing service and solution.

Start with a professional hearing test

The first and most critical step in choosing a hearing aid is establishing a baseline. A free hearing test at an Amplifon clinic will give you a detailed picture of your hearing profile.

A certified audiologist will use this data—along with a thorough conversation about your communication challenges, from busy restaurants to quiet one-on-one chats—to narrow down your options.

Understanding your technology level

Hearing aids come in various technology levels, which correlate with both quality and price. For those focused on finding the best quality hearing aids, it is important to understand what these levels generally mean:

  • Premium Level: These devices feature the latest technology, including advanced noise reduction, artificial intelligence (AI) features, and superior connectivity. They are ideal for active individuals who navigate highly complex and changing sound environments (like busy markets, group meetings etc).
  • Advanced Level: Excellent performance in moderately noisy environments. A strong option for those seeking balance between cost and performance.
  • Essential/Standard Level: Suited for less complex sound environments, such as conversations at home or watching television.

The technology level influences the quality of sound processing, especially in challenging situations. Your audiologist will help you choose a hearing aid technology level that delivers maximum benefit for your specific daily life.

What to expect at a FREE hearing test?

The test will take approximately 20 minutes, and all you have to do is press a button each time you hear a sound.

What makes a hearing aid the 'best quality' for me?

Quality is defined by how well the hearing aid enhances your personal experience of sound and communication. Some of the best sound quality hearing aids today achieve this through sophisticated digital processing and AI.

The role of artificial intelligence and sound processing

Modern hearing aids are tiny computers. The leap in quality in recent years comes from their ability to process sound intelligently. AI can now:

Pinpoint Speech

They automatically isolate human speech from surrounding background noise, making conversations easier in crowded environments.

Adapt Instantly

Features like motion detection allow the aid to adjust its settings instantly as you walk, run, or change environments.

Address Specific Needs

If you experience tinnitus, the best hearing aid might be one that offers therapeutic sound masking features, often found in higher-quality, advanced devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to choose a hearing aid for seniors?

When selecting a hearing aid for seniors, focus on devices that offer high-level automation (like AI-driven settings) and excellent rechargeability for ease of use. Discretion, such as nearly invisible models, is also a key factor for many. Amplifon audiologists can help balance ease of maintenance with advanced functionality.

What is available under the Hearing Services Program?

The government Hearing Services Progream provides significant support through subsidised hearing aids. This program is available to Australian residents who are pensioners, some DVA card holders and others who are eligible. Conditions apply under the Hearing Services Program.

Should I choose a hearing aid based on brand or technology?

You should choose based on technology and service. While products are important, the quality of your hearing experience depends also on the accuracy of the fitting, the customisation (calibration), and the ongoing care provided by your local audiologist. The Amplifon Way ensures you get the best hearing aids from global manufacturers, paired with superior expertise.
