Interestingly…
Only a handful of ‘big’ hearing aid brands manufacture nearly all audiologist-prescribed hearing aids. The "Big 5" spend millions in R&D and consistently lead the way on tech.
There are style and philosophy differences between these traditional options, but they offer the same features and generally the same prices. Think of them as the Sony, Bose & Sennheisers of the hearing aid world. Different, but also very similar
Most of the high street providers of hearing aids in the UK are owned by a manufacturer nowadays so there’s always an incentive for the dispenser you’re seeing (who may not be a clinical Audiologist, mind) to offer you a particular brand.
At Waves, we’re proudly independent and focused entirely on the person wearing the device; only advising what would be suitable for their lifestyle.
