(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 15, 2009 ) Lake Forest, IL - Ghosts. Goblins. Bumps in the night. They can't hold a candle this fall to the fears many patients suffering from hearing loss have about hearing aids. Some people fear that a hearing aid will make social situations more awkward or embarrassing. Some are afraid that they'll never be able to afford a quality hearing aid, so they give up on searching for one. Others fear that any affordable hearing aid wouldn't actually help with their hearing loss anyway. Hearing aids manufacturer and online retailer, Hearing Central LLC, offers tips and advice to to put those fears to rest.
“Purchasing hearing aids really can be scary for some patients,” says Phil Wyatt, CEO of Hearing Central LLC. “They might not be getting any help from their insurance provider, and hearing aids can amount to a huge out of pocket expense. Especially when we're talking about older patients living on a fixed income, their fear is understandable. They want hearing aids that will work, but they need hearing aids they can afford. That's why at Hearing Central we cut out the middle man. We sell our own hearing aids directly to consumers to offer them the quality they expect but at more reasonable prices than they'd find elsewhere."
Hearing Central LLC offers the following advice, tips, and reminders to help hearing loss sufferers address their fears about hearing aids:
1. Don't worry that hearing aids are going to cause further embarrassment or awkwardness. Even if a patient thinks no one notices, friends and family probably do notice the hearing loss as the person will be more withdrawn from conversations. Hearing aids don't make someone a social outcast. They allow for re-inclusion into social settings and conversations the patient would otherwise miss out on.
2. Get a hearing test from a reputable audiologist to determine the exact type of hearing loss that's occurring. By understanding their personal hearing loss, patients can be sure to choose the right type of hearing aid. That's the best way to get past the fear of wasting money on a hearing aid that simply won't help.
3. Once a patient knows what type of hearing aid they need, they should shop around. Don't only go to an audiologist to compare hearing aids. Visit manufacturer websites directly as well. Some, like Hearing Central, will sell hearing aids directly to consumers for less than what they'd pay after markups through a hearing professional.
