Hearing Loss Facts that Hearing Aids Clinics Don't Want You to Know

So, you went to the local hearing aid clinic and they told you that you had a "typical" high frequency hearing loss, but you would need "custom" programmed hearing aids that cost thousands of dollars.

If my hearing loss is so "typical" then why do I need "custom" programmed hearing aids?

Ahh, that's the 64 thousand dollar question! Actually, it's more like an 8 billion dollar question (that's how much revenue was generated last year selling those custom jobbers).

Certainly there are people that require custom programmed hearing aids and unfortunately for them, they will spend thousands of dollars. For everybody else, Rosebud Hearing LLC ( http://www.RosebudHearing.com ) has developed a line of digital hearing aids that are pre-programmed to work fantastically for people suffering from typical high frequency hearing loss. And because these aids are digitally pre-programmed, they won't cost you thousands of dollars. All of their digital hearing aids are priced under $300.

What causes High Frequency Hearing Loss and what are the symptoms?

High Frequency Hearing Loss is most often caused by the aging process. As you get older, you might develop a high frequency hearing loss. Other ways of developing the condition include injury, excessive noise exposure, viral infections, diabetes, and stroke.

Symptoms of high frequency hearing loss include:
  • Not understanding speech as clearly as you used to
  • The feeling that everybody is mumbling, especially women and children
  • Difficulty hearing what people are saying when there is background noise present, like at a crowded restaurant
Rosebud Hearing Aids are available in Open Fit and In the Ear models. You can purchase them at a number of different online sites, like Perfect Hearing Aids, or directly from the company (recommended) at http://www.RosebudHearing.com
