The Advantage Of Unitron Hearing Aids

Unitron hearing aids are considered the luxury models of the hearing aid industry. This is not only because of the hearing aid itself, but how it is fitted into your ear. Not all ears are shaped alike –inner or outer – and Unitron hearing aids are specially fitted for your specially shaped ears. This is to make the hearing aid as comfortable as possible. What's the use of buying top of the line hearing aids if you dread inserting them into your ears?

The U-Shell

The U-shell is the secret to making Unitron hearing aids so comfortable. The inner part is the hearing aid itself – that is the same in al Unitron hearing aids. But this unchangeable part is inserted into a mold made from your ear. This is the U-shell. In order to make your personalized U-shell, you need to have a mold made of your ear done by a professional audiologist.

This mold is then shipped to Unitron, which analyses the mold by computer. They are able to make a 3-D diagram of your each chamber and then make the U-shell for your hearing aid to the specifications of the computer-generated 3-D model. The U-shell has been shown to cut down the times a patient needs to go get his or her hearing aid fitted.

Before You Go Shopping

Unitron hearing aids cost a lot of money because they are custom made to fit your ear. They can easily run you thousands of dollars. You'd have to check with your health insurance or Medicare to see if you qualify for any reimbursement of your Unitron hearing aid. Please don’t use this article in the place of your doctor's or your health insurance's advice.

The first place you need to go to when you experience hearing loss is not a store that sells hearing aids. You need to go to the doctor. There are many reasons for hearing loss, some of which no hearing aid will help. There's no sense buying expensive hearing aids if they aren't going to help you hear any better.

Realize that no hearing aid is 100% guaranteed to improve your hearing, even Unitron hearing aids. There isn’t a hearing aid made that can be sure to work for everyone with your kind of hearing loss. Some hearing aid sellers will give you a one month trial period (or some sort of trial period) before you commit your money. Ask about this to your audiologist or your ear doctor.
