Self programming hearing aids have been on the market for years but are not selling well. The reason is that you have to learn whole new skills to get self programming hearing aids to work. Many elderly people also have not grown up with computers and really do not want to have to learn a whole new technology when there’s bingo night happening. And, quite frankly, who can blame them? Self programming hearing aids are akin to knowing car engine repair. How many people have the time, money and dexterity to take and remember any car repair classes? But some self programming hearing aids are really very basic - they work like a teeny tiny amplifier. The “self programming” is merely adjusting the volume. They are often called “self-adjusting hearing aids”. If you have very common mild hearing loss, perhaps this king of self programming hearing aids will help you get by.
