Q3. Besides the number of channels, do manufacturers also affect the price?
In Thailand’s market, hearing aids come from many countries — Japan, China, Europe, the U.S., and more. Even when the number of channels is the same, prices can vary. Why? Generally, European-made hearing aids have more refined sound processing and higher technical standards, which leads to higher prices. Well-known manufacturers include Phonak (Switzerland) and GN ReSound (Denmark). It’s recommended to compare hearing aids from these three major brands with similar specifications for a fair assessment.
Q4. Does not being affiliated with a hospital mean a manufacturer is unprofessional?
Not necessarily. Hospitals mainly serve as referral sources — their recommended products aren’t always the only professional option. Many independent hearing aid providers are highly skilled and professional; they’re simply unaffiliated with hospitals. You’re encouraged to explore various hearing aid centers in Thailand, especially in Bangkok, where there are many professional services and resources available.
Q5. Where can I buy affordable hearing aids?
We recommend visiting different hearing aid centers in Thailand. They offer a wide variety of products, resources, and professional support throughout Bangkok.
Q6. There are too many models and features — how do I choose?
When offered multiple models, focus on the features that truly matter to you. For example, advanced models with Bluetooth can identify sound direction and connect to accessories like TV adapters. However, if you don’t watch TV often, tell the seller clearly that you don’t need those features and prefer to “downgrade” your hearing aid. Otherwise, you might end up paying for unnecessary features. Choosing the right device means selecting the sound quality and functions that fit your lifestyle.
Q7. If every manufacturer sells similar products, how should I choose?
If multiple stores offer the same type of hearing aid at similar prices, compare their after-sales services.
There are around 30 hearing aid brands in Thailand, but their support services can differ. Here’s what to consider:
1. Free hearing and ear canal examinations
Before buying, it’s essential to check your ear canal — hearing loss can sometimes be caused by earwax blockage. After a hearing test, use the results to choose the most suitable hearing aid.
2. Hearing experience and environmental adaptation
Quality digital hearing aids can be fine-tuned by frequency, like prescription glasses. They reduce unwanted noise and may include tinnitus masking functions. A good manufacturer employs professional audiologists who help users adapt comfortably to their new devices. Always communicate openly with your hearing specialist during the fitting process.
3. Payment and installment options
Hearing aids can cost tens of thousands of baht. Beyond government subsidies, major manufacturers also offer installment plans to ease the financial burden for users.
4. Free cleaning, maintenance, and sound adjustment services
Hearing aids are precise electronic devices that require regular maintenance every 2–3 months. Without this, they are prone to damage. Regular pharmacies typically can’t provide this service, so visit a professional hearing care center that offers free maintenance.
