- Where do you struggle the most: quiet rooms, restaurants, meetings, or the car?
- Do you have tinnitus (ringing in the ears) or sound sensitivity?

Quick FAQs
What is the difference between an audiologist and a hearing aid dealer?
Audiologists are licensed hearing healthcare professionals who diagnose hearing and balance conditions and provide hearing aid care. Hearing aid dealers focus on fitting hearing aids and may not provide the same level of clinical evaluation and medical referral guidance.
Do I need a hearing test before buying hearing aids?
Yes. A recent hearing test helps confirm the type and degree of hearing loss and guides which features matter most for your ears and your lifestyle.
How many follow-up visits should I expect?
Most people need multiple adjustments at first. Ask any provider what the first 60 to 90 days looks like and whether follow-ups are included.
Does Medicare cover hearing aids?
No. Medicare states that it does not cover hearing aids or exams for fitting hearing aids (Medicare.gov).
