1. You want to experience the highest sound quality available

Today’s digital hearing aids are smarter than ever. Their advanced technology can offer a level of speech understanding that is close to normal hearing (compared to previous generations of hearing aids). They include new features and benefits which allow you to:

Support your brain in differentiating between speech and background noise
Improve comprehension and reduce fatigue
Adjust automatically to the specific listening situation in order to optimize performance
Connect easily to various electronic devices (TVs, computers, smartphones, etc.)
Have more options for size, fit and color preferences
Wear almost invisible hearing aids
Wear more comfortable devices

The latest, most intelligent hearing aid we offer is Oticon More™.

2. You have noticed changes in your hearing ability

Whether you wear hearing aids or not, age-related hearing loss can worsen over time. This is why we recommend an annual check-up with your hearing care expert. You might notice that you don’t get the same performance from your hearing aids as you once did. In this case your hearing loss level might have changed beyond the range of your current hearing aids.

Considering the following questions can help you decide whether you need to adjust your hearing aid or upgrade to a more powerful device that suits your changing hearing needs:

Do you turn up the volume on your hearing aids more often than you used to?
Do you not hear as well with your hearing aids as you used to?

If you purchased your hearing aids at Audika, you are invited for a check-up every 6 months (as part of the Audika AfterCare program). These regular check-ups can serve as a way to receive adjustments to your hearing aids, ensuring that your hearing aids continue to serve you well.

Hearing aids usually last between three to seven years. There are a number of factors affecting the lifetime of a hearing aid, including how well the hearing aid was built, how well the hearing aid is maintained, and how much wear and tear the hearing aid goes through while being worn.

Do you experience any of the following changes in your hearing aid? If you experience any of the following changes, you might consider getting an adjustment, a repair, or a new device:

Does your hearing device buzz, whistle or give feedback?
Do you have trouble hearing speech in noisy situations?
Do you have trouble hearing phone conversations?
Are your hearing aids not working as well as they used to?
Is it more tiring using your hearing aids than it used to be?

You are welcome to contact us, so we can find out if your hearing aid can be fixed by adjusting or repairing it

4. Your hearing needs have changed (due to either health or lifestyle changes)

Image shows elderly couple running
Changing hearing needs at work, home or in social settings may demand new hearing aid features or technology. This may be the case if you, for example, were originally fitted for hearing aids based on a quieter lifestyle.

If you then experience certain lifestyle changes such as moving into a group home or getting involved in social activities, you may have a new need for hearing aids with more power or new capabilities.

In case you wonder, whether a new hearing aid may improve your hearing, then you are very welcome to contact us for advice and a free hearing aid trial.
