You only live once, and today will never repeat itself. Experiences today will only be
memories tomorrow. Today may present an opportunity to catch up with an old friend, listen to
the songs of your childhood or watch a rerun of a favorite show. Sound is a gift that makes
life’s opportunities rich and worthwhile. If you don't have to, why would you miss out?
Hearing loss isolates you from your life and loved ones because sound is vital for
communication. Not being able to hear can cause discomfort, frustration, and even
embarrassment.
Take David for example. He is the pastor of a large church. One day, a member of his
congregation named Sally quietly asked him to pray for her father who was hospitalized from a
heart attack. Addressing the congregation he said, “Please pray for the Smith family. We share
their grief in the loss of Sally's father.” Sally was shocked and stood up shouting, “He's not
dead! He had a heart attack!” The mortified pastor was in our office the moment we opened
our door on Monday morning. Thanks to AidRight, he won’t make a mistake like that again.
Because of hearing loss, David missed out on critical information. You may be a lot like
David. How much critical information have you been missing? It doesn't matter if you're
retired or still working, you need to hear in order to stay connected to the world around you.
When you can't hear well, you may pull away from the
people you most want to connect with and suddenly
find yourself on the outside. Sure, you may act like you
hear and understand, but deep down you feel the
separation. The people around you want to share their
lives with you. Investing in your hearing proves just
how much you love them.

The modern world has given us so
many things to make our lives easier,
and hearing aids are no exception. Did
you know that today’s digital hearing
aids work better and look better than
they ever have before? They are so
small that people can't even tell you’re
wearing them.

aid for you is the one that corrects your hearing, is comfortable to wear, provides you with the
tools you need for your lifestyle and fits within your budget. You may have to experiment with
different hearing aids to find the best fit. Patience is the key. In the end, you will be rewarded
with better hearing, and an improved life.

Barbara’s 89-year-old mother, Pat, was having trouble hearing. Pat was no longer able to care
for herself and had recently moved in with Barbara. Because of Pat's age, dexterity and
lifestyle, our audiologist recommended a pair of entry-level digital hearing aids during a no-
obligation consultation. Pat’s eyes lit up when we turned her new hearing aids on!
Pat is grateful to be part of the family again. She is actually getting to know her two
granddaughters now – before she couldn't hear them. For five years now, Barbara and her
family have been sharing their life with her mother. Barbara told us that she is so thankful for
what we did for her mom.

Hearing Aid Styles
There are several different styles of hearing aids. Not all of them may be appropriate for you or
your loved one. Helping you decide which style to select is one reason why AidRight insists
that you work with a trained professional. Your hearing aid's primary purpose is to help you
hear better. In the next section you will find some descriptions and pictures of the hearing aid
styles that are currently available.

In The Canal (ITC)
The ITC hearing aids fit into the ear canal with a portion that also sits
in the bowl of your ear. Canal hearing aids use a larger battery than
the CIC style, which will last longer and is easier to handle. This style
is used for mild to severe hearing losses. Because of the larger size,
ITC hearing aids can have more features such as directional
microphones and telephone amplifiers. ITC hearing aids are also
slightly less susceptible to wax problems.

Behind The Ear (BTE)
The main part of the hearing aid fits behind the ear. They are best
suited for people that have severe hearing losses. People that are
prone to getting ear infections, have had surgery, or produce excessive
earwax are also good candidates for BTE hearing aids. Wax is less of
an issue for BTE hearing aids, but moisture can be more of a concern
because they are located in the hairline behind the ear where you tend
to perspire.
The local professionals that work with AidRight Hearing Aids can help you decide what the
best style and product is for you. Call us at 1-877-777-1710 with any questions, or to

What Features Should You Look For in a Digital Hearing Aid?
Digital hearing aids have many features that will help you hear better and more comfortably.
Some of the features you should look for are:

frequencies up into smaller pieces.
Many hearing aids can have a push button that allows you to
have different settings for different situations. You might have
one setting for quiet places, another for noisy places, and
Manual Memories maybe another for music or the telephone. The hearing aid
will make a beep sound when you push the button to let you
know which memory you are using. Some of the newest
products will actually talk to you!
These are similar to manual memories in that the hearing aid
is programmed for a variety of situations. With automatic

auditory deprivation. This means that the ear can no longer understand speech as well, even
with a hearing aid.

According to Dr. Sergei Kochkin of the Better Hearing Institute, wearing a hearing aid can
increase your salary by up to $12,000. Dr. Kochkin found that people with hearing loss that do
not use hearing aids lose twice as much income as those who have hearing loss and wear
hearing aids. Rather than a burdensome expenditure, purchasing a hearing aid can be a valuable
investment.
