What Is The Best Hearing Aid Brand?

There are a number of hearing aid brands and manufacturers and each company has their own slight difference or point of comparison. While we’re committed to providing customers with choice and the most advanced hearing technology available, there is no “best” hearing aid brand as it all comes down to a matter of comfort or preference.

As mentioned above there are some brands that are more suited to helping you hear in noisy environments such as the workplace, there are also other hearing aid brands that sync with personal devices such as mobile phones. The best hearing aid for you will match both your unique lifestyle and the hearing loss symptoms affecting you.

Whichever is the right product for you, we won’t just help you find it, we’ll also ensure you’re fitted by an expert so you’re comfortable right from the get go.

What are the biggest hearing aid brands?

This is a difficult question to answer but some of the most notable hearing aid manufacturers include, GN Resound, Siemens, Unitron, Widex, Bernafon, Sonic, Starkey, Phonak & Oticon.

Cochlear is also a well respected brand that many have heard of but unlike the others they specialise in physical implants designed to help you regain your hearing rather than an external device.

Like in most industries, new players come and go but the manufacturers listed here have stood the test of time. Most reputable audiologists will recommend to you a product made by one of these companies.
