Explore hearing technology options to ask about
This educational tool helps adults with hearing loss map out broad categories of technology—like hearing aids, implants, remote microphones, captions, and smartphone features—that might be reasonable to ask about with your own clinicians. It does not decide candidacy or replace a medical evaluation.
Tell us where you are right now
Answer a few short sections about your hearing situation. As you go, the panel on the right will suggest technology categories you might want to bring up with your audiologist or implant center.
Section 1
Where are you right now in your hearing journey?
Choose the one that feels closest. It does not have to be perfect.
Section 2
What’s hardest right now?
Pick all that apply. This helps match technology ideas to your real listening situations.
Section 3
What devices or supports are already in your life?
Pick all that sound familiar. This tool will assume you can always talk with your own clinicians about changing or adding options.
Section 4
How ready are you to change things?
There is no “right” answer. Your readiness helps shape whether the pathway leans more toward exploring, fine-tuning, or making bigger moves like implant evaluation.
