Question:
What is the best hearing aid on the market in 2011?

Answer:
Before I give my opinion of the ‘best’ hearing aid, you must note that each person has his or her own preference. My opinion of the best hearing aid may be your choice for the worst hearing aid.

With that said, I feel that the best hearing aid in the market at this time is probably the Beltone True.

One of the thinnest hearing aids on the market and the smallest receiver-in-ear (RIE) hearing aid today.

Beltone did such a good job designing the device that many people will not even know you are using it. This is a fact.

It is a hearing aid, but also has built in Bluetooth technology to allow you to connect to your Bluetooth enabled phone, tv, ipod, stero, computer, etc. Hearing aids are historically poor performers when trying
to listen from these devices (and now talk to them) – but since the Beltone True actually connects to the wireless device directly it performs flawlessly. There is a microphone that you can clip to your clothes to pickup your voice when switching to Bluetooth.

As mentioned at the beginning, each person’s preference is different. Things like moderation of hearing loss, type of hearing loss/damage, shape of ear, color of skin, and even how much oil is present on the wearer’s skin plays a factor.

The best way to know what which hearing aid is best for you is to speak with your ENT / Audiologist and ask for a couple of trials and if he would recommend a certain model.
