Scores are based on purchases of 20,563 purchases of individual hearing aids or matched hearing aid pairs by 19,711 Consumer Reports’ subscribers. Results might not reflect the U.S. population. Reader score reflects overall satisfaction with the hearing aid (or aid pair). A score of 100 would mean all respondents are completely satisfied; 80, that respondents are very satisfied on average. Differences of fewer than 4 points are not meaningful. Each rating category under Survey Results reflects average scores on a scale from “very poor” to “excellent.” Value refers to the performance of the hearing aid for the money spent. Sound clarity pertains to the clearness of tones and sounds while wearing the hearing aid.
