Factors Influencing Hearing Aid Cost
The price range of hearing aid options in Malaysia is affected by several considerations including types, features, performance, and design. Familiarising yourself with these different factors will help you streamline your choices and allow you to make better decisions when it comes to purchasing the hearing aids that best suit your needs.
Types
First of all, there is a wide variety of hearing aid types—from behind-the-ear (BTE) to completely-in-canal (CIC) devices. These differ in design and functionality. Choosing the right type of hearing aid should be based on the severity of your hearing loss and the kind of lifestyle that you lead.
Features
Hearing aids with more advanced features tend to be pricier than basic models. Added functions such as rechargeability, wireless connectivity, and multiple listening capability allow wearers to integrate their devices into their day-to-day life seamlessly.
Performance
Technology has allowed the industry to improve its products in ways we’ve never imagined before. Digital hearing aids offer enhanced performance like noise reduction and directional microphone that result in improved listening of the wearer.
Design
Design also plays a role in the variation of hearing aid prices. Nowadays, you can find hearing device styles that are modern, more discreet, and almost invisible to the eye of non-wearers. Again, choosing the design of your hearing aids should be based on your needs. Wearers with dexterity issues are advised to opt for bigger devices.
The Case with Over-the-Counter Alternative Sold Online
Listening Lab only fit medical-device-grade hearing aids and not over-the-counter amplification devices which are found online.
Medical-device-grade hearing aids means they have cleared the Food Drug Administration (FDA-USA) regulations for medical devices. Hearing devices without such certification are considered consumer devices and are not subject to stringent quality checks, rigorous research and development criteria and consistency in production standards. Not complying with any one of these 3 requirements may have a permanent impact and damage on your hearing ability when used incorrectly
