ACCC: When Choosing a Hearing Aid

Ask the clinician about range, features, benefits and prices. You may not need the features of the more expensive models.
Ask for a quote including the type and cost of any recommended hearing aid.
Learn and understand what your results mean for you and what device – if any – is required.
If you don’t understand anything, keep asking until you do
Pay only for what you need.  Some clinics may be commission or incentive driven to sell you more
The final choice should always be yours.  Make informed decisions and you will always get the best results for you.
