What you should know about the best Black Friday hearing aid deals
How to know when it’s time for a hearing aid
When hearing loss affects your relationships, job, or daily activities, it’s time for a hearing aid. But you may have mild hearing loss without realizing it. Treating any level of hearing loss is important for brain function, as it preserves our brain’s ability to process sounds and interpret language.
People around us may notice our hearing loss before we do. Ask a friend or family member if they’ve noticed any of the following:
- You keep the TV at an uncomfortable volume for people in the room without hearing loss.
- You speak louder than usual.
- You frequently say, “What?” or ask people to repeat themselves, speak up, or stop mumbling.
- You mishear words, like thinking someone has asked for bread instead of thread.
- You turn your ear towards someone speaking, lean in closer, or cup your hand over your ear to help you hear better.
A hearing care professional can test your hearing to determine the severity of your hearing loss and diagnose the possible cause. In the meantime, an online hearing test can give you a general overview of your hearing health.
When is the best time to find deals on hearing aids?
Hearing aids tend to go on sale around major holidays, including Black Friday, Memorial Day, and Labor Day. If you don’t want to wait for a holiday sale, sign up to receive email or text alerts from your favorite hearing aid brand so you can be notified of their next promotion.
Bottom line
Hearing loss is easy to treat with a hearing aid, but these devices can be expensive. Taking advantage of the best Black Friday hearing aid sales could save you hundreds of dollars, but if hearing loss interferes with your quality of life, don’t wait to purchase.
Over-the-counter hearing aid brands offer sales throughout the year, and while the discounts may not be as substantial as those available on Black Friday, these routine sales can help keep some money in your pocket.
Hearing care providers set their own prices for prescription hearing aids, so you’ll need to ask each provider about available discounts or upcoming promotions.
Frequently asked questions
No particular style of hearing aid is better than another. It depends on what you’re comfortable with wearing. That said, receiver-in-canal and behind-the-ear hearing aids can pack more technology into the body of the hearing aid simply because there’s no space constraint. This could lead to better sound quality and ease of use. In-the-canal hearing aids, on the other hand, must remain small enough to fit into the ear canal, which limits how much tech can be added.
Depending on the list price and the promotion, you could save hundreds of dollars by buying a hearing aid on sale.
It can take up to three months to adjust to wearing hearing aids.
