Congratulations, you’ve taken the next step in addressing your hearing health and have decided to invest in hearing aids.
But with all the options out there, how do you know what’s the best solution for your needs?
Fortunately, the hearing professionals at HearingLife are experts at finding the best fit for your lifestyle and budget.
“We understand that everybody has different life circumstances,” HearingLife chief audiologist Jillian Price says.
“You should know that there are always options and that there isn’t just one type of hearing aid out there. We will always work with people to find what’s best for their budget.”
Two considerations you should take in mind when considering which hearing aids are right for you are your level of social engagement and the level of technology desired.
If you are very social and attend many functions with a lot of background noise such as talking and music, you may want to consider a premium or mid-level hearing aid which can provide a sound experience that matches your lifestyle. Premium hearing aids typically offer more noise reduction.
If you prefer quiet activities and one-on-one conversation, a basic hearing aid may be enough to fit your hearing needs.

Hearing aids in Canada ranged from $1,000 to $4,000 per ear. The price range accounts for the type of technology offered.
The main reasons for the high cost of hearing aids is that the hearing aid producers spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year on research and development of hearing products. In the same way that we pay more for technology such as tablets and cell phones, consumers pay for the advanced technology in hearing aids.
If features such as Bluetooth connectivity are important to you, a premium option would be a better choice.
Not only can the experts at HearingLife help you navigate the choices available to you, when you purchase your HearingLife you get a 90-day risk free trial, yearly service checkups, and 360-AfterCare, which includes everything you need for three years, including batteries.
“I always tell people it’s harder to struggle to hear,” Price says.
“Let the hearing aids do the work and you can go back to living life.”
