There are top manufacturers in the industry that are trusted. The best rated hearing aid would be the one that works for your hearing loss and comes with the best customer service package. Hearing aids are mechanical devices and they will fail. It’s how the manufacturer and your audiology practice respond to your situation that will determine how well a hearing aid is rated.
