Technology has allowed for the disposable hearing aid to become a reality. Disposable hearing aids are an easy solution to the more expensive alternatives. Although they are inexpensive, they get the job done and are easy to obtain. They are, however, more of a temporary solution at best.
Hearing aids aren't easily afforded, but temporary hearing aids are a different story. A single hearing aid that is disposable may only cost you $40 to $60. For two the price would be doubled. It's a lot less than you would pay for a real set, but it is also only a temporary solution. If you need a long term solution to hearing, you will have to at some point get real hearing aids.
Pay attention to the instruction book that comes with your disposable hearing aids. Included in the information should be tips on keeping down the drain on the battery. If you can keep the usage of the battery down, you will be able to extend the life of the battery and keep your hearing aid set for a longer period of time. You can expect a disposable pair to last a few months on average.
Unfortunately you won't be able to take the average disposable hearing aid into the water. Before swimming or taking a shower, you should remove the hearing aid to prevent any damage to the electronics that it contains. Take special care when it is raining heavily outside, or you could also damage it on accident. An umbrella or hat should shield you from harm.
Most disposable hearing aids you buy won't be custom fitted to your ear. Odds are you could have an uncomfortable fit, and this could lead to discomfort. Other types of disposables will be able to be custom fitted, but at a higher price. Usually it isn't such a big deal to get them custom fitted, but it's nice to be able to wear your hearing aid in comfort.
You won't have to worry much when you obtain a disposable hearing aid set. They are rather cheap, so losing them or having them break isn't such a big deal as it would be otherwise. They also won't be out of the budget of most elderly individuals, unlike normal hearing aids. They are simple to throw away once the battery is dead, and serve a great backup pair if you ever need them.
Final Thoughts
The best way to get started in buying your disposable hearing aids is to look online at prices. Also look to see what sizes and features are offered and compare each pair. With luck you will be able to find a pair that suits you for a low price you can afford.
