Brands We Fit

Ten manufacturers. One unbiased recommendation.

We fit ten major hearing aid manufacturers. That sentence sounds ordinary until you compare it to a chain store fitting one — and realize the recommendation has nowhere else to go.

Phonak
Oticon
Widex
ReSound
Starkey
Signia
Unitron
Rexton
Microtech
Lyric
Phonak

Swiss-engineered universal connectivity. Strong in noisy environments and one of the most reliable rechargeable lineups on the market.

Oticon

Danish design known for natural soundscapes and the BrainHearing approach — preserving more of what the brain expects to hear.

Widex

Refined sound quality, particularly favored by music listeners. Pioneers of machine-learning hearing aid personalization.

ReSound

The direct-to-iPhone streaming pioneer. Excellent app ecosystem and remote-fine-tuning capabilities.

Starkey

American-made; strong rechargeability and fall detection in its premium lineup. Made in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.

Signia

Formerly Siemens. Excellent own-voice processing — for patients who say their own voice sounds strange with new hearing aids.

Unitron

Sister brand to Phonak. Flexible trial and exchange terms; strong value tier for first-time hearing aid users.

Rexton

Value-tier American brand under the Sivantos family. A solid entry point for patients on a budget.

Microtech

Custom in-the-ear fittings and traditional housings. Good for patients who prefer the older, in-the-canal form factor.

Lyric

Extended-wear, deep canal — a 24/7 device you don't remove daily. A different category entirely; useful for active patients.

Why Independent Matters

A chain store can't have this conversation honestly.

If a chain only carries Brand X, then Brand X is what every patient gets recommended — regardless of whether Brand Y would actually fit their life better. We carry ten manufacturers precisely so the conversation is honest.

No. 01

Brand neutrality

If a Phonak fits your life and an Oticon doesn't, that's the conversation we have.

No. 02

Real-ear verification

We measure how the device actually performs in your canal versus what the prescription called for.

No. 03

Continuity of care

The audiologist who fit your device is the audiologist you'll see again. No turnover script.

Not sure which brand is right for you?

That's the conversation we have at every fitting — after we've heard about your week, not before.
