About Hearing Aids
Are your hearing aids digital?
Yes, all Widex hearing aids are fully digital and programmable.
Will a hearing aid restore my hearing?
Hearing aids can make understanding speech much easier. However, they do not restore the natural functioning of your ear.
Do hearing aids use special batteries?
Hearing aids can have rechargeable batteries (lithium ion) or use disposable batteries (zinc air).
How long do hearing aid batteries last?
This depends on the type of battery and how many hours per day you wear your hearing aid. Smaller hearing aid batteries need replacing within 3 to 7 days, while larger batteries may last 20-30 days.
Is it necessary to wear two hearing aids for hearing loss in both ears?
Research has shown that speech understanding in noisy environments is optimized when the brain receives sound input from both ears.
How long does it take to get used to a hearing aid?
Each person’s experience will be different. Hearing aids can help you hear sounds you have not heard before (or have not heard for many years). Relearning takes place in the central auditory system, and the brain needs some time to sort out any new information entering the ears.

Choosing the Right One
How do I know if I need hearing aids?
A hearing test will help us determine if you need a hearing aid. Signs include difficulty understanding conversations, frequently asking others to repeat, or turning up the volume on devices.
What style of hearing aid should I wear?
Our clinicians can help you make an appropriate choice based on your degree of hearing loss, the shape of your outer ear, the size and shape of the ear canal, your ability to place and adjust the device, any special features you need, and any issues with excessive wax or drainage from the ears.
What brand should I choose?
Widex is a global brand focused on sound quality and durability. Hear Life Philippines is the exclusive distributor of Widex hearing aids in the country.
