Chosing a hearing care partner is a big decision, and you need confidence that you're choosing a solution that provides both exceptional performance and genuine long-term value for money through ongoing service.
At Amplifon, we understand that finding the right match requires more than just picking a device; it requires trusted expertise and a commitment to ongoing care.
As Australia's hearing experts, we are here to guide you through the process, focusing on the latest technology and a solution that fits your unique lifestyle.
This guide is designed for the actively informed individual who wants practical steps and detailed information to make the best choice possible.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
Modern hearing aids are tiny computers. The leap in quality in recent years comes from their ability to process sound intelligently. AI can now:
True value for money in hearing care is not just about the initial price tag; it's about the lifetime return on your investment. This is where Amplifon’s commitment to service—the Amplifon Way—becomes your strongest asset.
A hearing aid requires maintenance, adjustments, and updates throughout its lifespan. You can ensure your investment continues to deliver with ongoing support.
You wouldn't buy a car without a test drive, and you shouldn't commit to a hearing aid without experiencing it in your real life.
Amplifon offers a free trial period with no obligation. This allows you to test hearing aids in your actual daily routine—wear them at a family barbecue, down the street, or at work. This ensures the technology level you choose genuinely meets your needs before you make any financial commitment.
