by | Jan 10, 2025 | Patient Resources

New year, new you—are you looking to take care of your hearing health in the new year?

Hearing aids have long been associated with negative stigmas to do with getting older, but nowadays, that’s simply not the case; with more young people recognizing the importance of these tiny but mighty devices, people are realizing that hearing aids aren’t a sign of old age, but rather a sign of a long and loud life being lived!

With the assistance of your friendly neighborhood Doctor of Audiology, you can amplify your life and get back to listening to the life you love most with comprehensive hearing care.

Hearing aids can vastly improve your quality of life with stronger, healthier hearing—and with so many to choose from, you’re in the right place to find out which ones will work best for your specific needs.

What Defines the “Best” Hearing Aid?

There are dozens of different hearing aid manufacturers out there, with even more designs and features for any wearer’s unique circumstances. Levels of technology come from the most advanced models on the market to more simplified options that provide strong hearing capabilities.

Your hearing aids are a tool to help you along your hearing health journey—they’re not the final destination to “solve” hearing loss. Rather, the relationship that you build with your audiologist is what makes the difference between hearing aids and hearing care.

With professional guidance, you’ll know that your audiologist has your best interests in mind as you take steps along your hearing health journey to improve not just your hearing, but your quality of life.

At the end of the day, the best hearing aids are the ones that work best for you; the devices that seamlessly work with your lifestyle and hobbies, work for your specific hearing challenges, and fit within your budget and tech-savvy comfort are your best option, and no one else’s.

Your audiologist will recommend some of the best makes and models for your unique requirements, as well as ensure the programming, fit, and maintenance are all adjusted to fit you and no one else.

Leading Hearing Aid Manufacturers in 2025

As a proudly independent practice, you can rest easy knowing that whatever the best option is for you, we’ll provide it. We work with several incredible hearing aid manufacturers, and over the past decade they’ve made leaps and bounds in the world of advanced hearing aid technology.

Widex became the first manufacturer to offer AI and machine learning in their hearing aids in 2018, and after merging with Sivantos to create WS Audiology, they’ve focused on ensuring their wearers have the most personalized listening experiences yet.

Swiss hearing aid giant Bernafon created ChannelFree technology, which enhances your perception of music, speech, and sound within one harmonious channel for a more natural, streamlined listening experience, improving your listener comfort and eliminating audio feedback.

Oticon’s Brain Hearing concept supports your brain’s capability for processing sound and speech and allows you to more easily distinguish between multiple speakers in noisy environments, rather than amplifying all noise.

All the manufacturers we work with offer different options for fit, shape, rechargeable or disposable batteries, and more features to customize so that your hearing aids will be uniquely yours and work for your specific hearing loss diagnosis.

With lots to choose from, it can be overwhelming at first—but with your audiologist’s help, you can rest assured that your recommendations for your hearing aids will come with your circumstances and needs at front of mind.
