How to Purchase Your Hearing Aid
1. Diagnosis by an Otolaryngologist
If you are experiencing difficulty hearing or are considering a hearing aid, please see a doctor. In some cases, hearing is improved by consulting with a doctor and receiving treatment. Your doctor may also offer accurate advice on hearing aids.
2. Hearing Consultation and Measurement
Please consult with us at one of our branches near you.
Let us know when you feel inconvenienced by your hearing issues and what kind of sounds you find difficult to hear.
We will also conduct a hearing test to assist in selecting and adjusting hearing aids and to find the perfect hearing aid for you.
3. Hearing Aid Trial and Loans
It’s important to try out a hearing aid before you decide which type is best for you.
At Ryukyu Hochoki, we lend our hearing aids as a trial for approximately two weeks.
During this trial period, please check to make sure that your hearing aid is effective at home, work, or any other situation that you find hard to hear. We highly recommend that you check to make sure that the hearing aid is effective before you make your purchase.
4. Purchase and After-Sales Service
Once you have tried and confirmed that the hearing aid is effective for you, the next step is the consultation for purchase.
How to choose the right hearing aid can vary; preferences in appearance, usability, color, function, and budget are different for everybody.
Please do not hesitate to share your preferences with us. We will assist you in finding the perfect hearing aid for you.
In addition, hearing aids require adjustments and maintenance after your purchase. If you are experiencing issues in hearing after your purchase, we offer adjustments and maintenance services at no cost and as often as required. We offer you a peace of mind in your purchase and use of the hearing aid.
The ear is a sensory organ, so the sounds through the hearing aid may not immediately be comfortable to the ear even if adjustments are made properly. As you get familiar with the new sounds of the hearing aid, we will work with you to further improve your comfort level and hearing with your new hearing aid.
