Having questions and hesitations about using hearing aids is understandable.
Having a hearing problem that needs to be addressed is not as generally accepted and embraced as for example having a vision problem. People of all ages wear glasses; but what about hearing aids? Most people are not familiar with hearing aids and are skeptical about using them. EARplus Trial offers you the chance to try them for free out in the real world, to familiarize with the instrument and empower you to make the right decision along with your audiology expert. Take them home, wear them during your everyday life and make a personal assessment of whether they work well for the listening environments you spend your time to. Our free EARplus Trial helps you be a conscious user that will make a confident choice when it comes to hearing aids.
Make the most of your trial
In audiology, the sounds have been categorized in seven different listening environments so as to help experts identify easily the environments in which the person is facing difficulties. As a trial user, we suggest you find yourself in as many listening situations as possible (as listed below). That way we may retrieve the information needed to draw your hearing profile and choose together the best solution for you.
