Buying A Hearing Aid With The Help Of Reviews
It wasn't long ago that buying a hearing aid was something you did through your doctor's
recommendations or perhaps because a salesperson at the store pressured you in a certain direction. While there may still be consumers who shop this way, it isn't necessary any longer. With the Internet increasingly becoming a source for customer reviews, you can utilize the experiences of fellow consumers to make your choices in the marketplace. This is as true in the world of assistive devices as it is anywhere else. If you're wondering how to read these reviews to get the most out of them, there are some things you should look for.
Components and Features
At the heart of any hearing aid review is, of course, the reviewer's opinion on the device and whether or not they would purchase it again. But, one person's gold may be another's trash. So, you can't put too much stock in one individual's experiences. If you see a particular model consistently getting high marks, that counts for something, but you shouldn't treat a simple star rating with any degree of seriousness. That said, these reviews offer you a nice chance to compare separate devices on their components and features and the text should tell you more than you'll learn on the side of the box.
The Details
Look for well-written hearing aid reviews that take the time to cover both the pros and cons of a certain device. Reviews that say little more than, "I love it," or, "I hate it," aren't going to give you the information you need to make a decision. As noted, you can't depend on any particular reviewer's opinion lining up with your own. What they love about a device may be just what you would hate. But if they write a thorough, detailed review, you'll be able to glean from the text what they like and dislike about the model. That way, you can decide on your own whether their set of criteria would align well with your own.
Experience
When choosing between people in most areas of service and business, the person with the most experience usually gets the nod. This isn't necessarily the case with hearing aid reviews. Instead, try to look for reviewers who are closer to your own journey. In other words, if you're getting ready to purchase your first device, you may not benefit as much by reading a review from someone who has purchased quite a few and has lived with a hearing aid for most of their life. The closer the reviewer is to your own experiences, the more likely your opinions will match.
