When you decide to buy hearing aids, one of the first steps is to figure out where you’re going to shop. With hearing aids now available over the counter, your options include not only an audiologist’s office or a licensed hearing aid dispenser but also online retailers and big-box stores.
Consumer Reports’ latest ratings of hearing aid retailers, based on our exclusive survey of 13,163 members, can help you figure out where you’ll get the best shopping experience. CR members weighed in on their satisfaction with various parts of their hearing aid purchasing experience, including the person who programmed their hearing aids, pricing options, cost transparency, selection, follow-up adjustment service, and more.
