What are hearing aids?

Hearing aids are small, battery-powered devices designed to improve hearing by amplifying sound. Worn in or behind the ear, they make it easier to hear quiet sounds and communicate in noisy environments.

Types of hearing aids

While all hearing aids share three main components - a microphone, amplifier, and speaker - they come in various shapes, sizes, and features to suit individual needs:

Modern hearing aids also feature advanced technology such [TA1] as Bluetooth connectivity, smartphone integration, and improved charging capabilities. Learn more about how hearing aids work.

How can I find out if I need a hearing aid?

If you suspect that you may need hearing aids, the best place to start is booking a free hearing check at your local Bay Audiology clinic. Taking around 20 minutes to complete, the hearing test helps to determine whether you are experiencing hearing loss. If the results indicate that you do have hearing loss, additional testing and assessments will then be recommended to help determine what type of hearing loss it is and its severity.

What should you know before purchasing a hearing aid?

There are many different types of hearing aids on the market, which can make the task of choosing just one difficult. Before you settle on a certain type of hearing aid, it can be a good idea to discuss the following with your audiologist or hearing care professional:

  • What features are must-haves for your specific condition
  • What features aren’t absolutely necessary for your needs, but could offer additional benefits
  • What the total cost of your hearing aids will be
  • Which devices are in your price range
  • How long the warranty on your chosen model lasts and what it covers
  • How to care for your hearing aid

Hearing aid costs and funding options

At Bay Audiology, we understand that affordability is key when it comes to your hearing aids, which is why there is a wide range of funding options to suit different needs and budgets.

Our team will help you navigate different funding options, including eligibility for government subsidies to reduce the cost of your hearing aids. These options make advanced hearing technology more accessible.

If you are 18+, you are eligible for a free hearing check to determine whether or not you have hearing loss, and we can go through the next steps together.

Hearing aid FAQs

Which hearing aids are the best?

The best hearing aids for your needs will vary depending on your lifestyle, diagnosis and budget. If you’re unsure which types of hearing aids are right for you, book an appointment at your local Bay Audiology clinic to discuss your options.

Can a hearing aid damage your hearing?

In most cases, hearing aids will not damage your hearing if they fit well and are operating with the correct programming. It is important to note, however, that if your hearing aid is not correctly programmed, sounds could be amplified to unsafe levels. If you are experiencing issues with your hearing aid, book an appointment with an audiologist to check that all settings are operating as they should be.

How do I choose a hearing aid?

Choosing a hearing aid involves careful consideration of several factors, including your budget, the severity of your hearing loss, and your personal preferences. The best way to determine the right make and model for you is to discuss your needs with your audiologist, who can provide expert guidance.

Can I wear just one hearing aid?

Yes, you can wear just one hearing aid. In some cases, only one ear will experience hearing loss while the other remains largely unaffected, meaning that a single device is all that’s required. Booking a free hearing check  is the best way to find out whether you require two hearing aids or just one.

How long does it take to adjust to hearing aids?

It typically takes a few weeks to a couple of months to fully adjust to hearing aids. This time allows your brain to adapt to the amplified sounds and for you to get used to the feeling of wearing the devices.

How can hearing aids assist with tinnitus relief?

Hearing aids help manage tinnitus by amplifying external sounds, which can mask or reduce the perception of ringing in the ears. Some models are specifically designed with tinnitus therapy features that offer customisable sound masking options to provide relief.

Can hearing aids cause dizziness or vertigo?

Hearing aids are generally not a cause of dizziness, but adjustments in amplification or improper fitting may lead to discomfort. It’s important to consult with an audiologist if you experience balance issues after starting to wear hearing aids.

When is it the right time to consider wearing hearing aids?

If you notice difficulty hearing conversations, asking people to repeat themselves, or straining to hear over background noise, it may be time to consult a hearing care professional. A hearing test will help determine whether hearing aids can improve your quality of life. Book an appointment

How often do hearing aids need to be replaced?

Hearing aids typically last between 3 to 7 years, depending on the type, care, and usage. Regular maintenance can extend their lifespan, but advancements in technology may lead you to consider upgrading every few years.

At Bay Audiology, we offer comprehensive maintenance and aftercare services. This includes regular check-ups, cleaning, adjustments, and troubleshooting to ensure your hearing aids continue to perform at their best. Our expert team is always available to support you, helping to maintain the longevity and functionality of your devices, so you can get the most out of your investment.

Are hearing aids waterproof?

Not all hearing aids are waterproof, but many are water-resistant or designed to withstand moisture, sweat, and rain. Some specialised models offer additional protection against water damage, so always check the specifications of your hearing aids before wearing them in water.
