At Advanced Affordable Hearing, we offer a variety of high quality hearing aids that are pre-programmed to the most common hearing loss levels. Through a series of questions about an individual's lifestyle and ability to hear in certain scenarios, we try to determine which level he or she would most likely fall into. Once we have an idea about which hearing loss level a person is in, we are able to recommend a hearing aid that best seems to match their hearing loss level.
We also offer a free hearing test online for those who want to know their specific type of hearing loss in each ear. The five-minute test will also tell you which hearing aid is the best fit for your hearing needs. Take the online test here.
The checklist below contains general questions that can help to determine which hearing loss level a person may fit into. For the best results, answer these questions as if you ARE NOT wearing hearing aids or any other hearing assistance devices. Each hearing loss level also contains clickable buttons that will take you to the Product Pages for the recommended hearing aids in that level.
You can also watch the video below to help you make your decision. In this video, our friendly staff member, David, shows you our line of HearClear hearing aids and explains how to choose the one that's best for you!

Hearing Loss and Your Quality of Life:
Research indicates that the greater your hearing loss level is, the more likely it is that several basic quality-of-life factors could be negatively affected. Examples of quality-of-life factors include:
- Irritability, negativism and anger
- Social rejection and loneliness
- Reduced alertness and increased risk of personal safety
- Avoidance or withdrawal from social situations
- Diminished psychological and overall health
- Impaired memory and ability to learn new tasks
- Fatigue, tension, stress and depression
- Reduced job performance and earning power
What should you do next? After completing our hearing check, if you find that your hearing loss level seems to be significant enough to be affecting your daily lifestyle and quality of life, then you may need hearing aids. The next step you take is dependent on your need to hear in various listening situations. All of our hearing aids include 30-day Money Back Guarantee - Risk Free which allows you to try them in the comfort of your own home to see if they help you hear more clearly.
