If you're here, it means you're likely on a mission to find the perfect hearing aid for a senior in your life. Hearing loss is a common among seniors. The NIH estimates that approximately one out of three people over the age of 65 have some degree of hearing loss.
Caring for a loved one can be tricky to navigate at times and requires a lot of careful consideration -choosing the right hearing aid is one of those tricky corners.
My background as an audiologist has taught me that the right hearing aid can truly transform a senior's quality of life. In this guide I'll walk you through everything caregivers need to know about finding the best hearing aids for seniors.
Later on in the guide, I'll include my favorite products and brands specifically for older adults.
What Caregivers Need to Know
Hearing Loss Is A Common Health Change Among Older Adults
Hearing loss is a common condition among older individuals, affecting approximately one in three people between the ages of 65 and 74, and nearly half of those older than 75. As we age, the cumulative effects of noise exposure, health conditions, and even genetic predisposition can contribute to the gradual decline in hearing ability.
Recognizing the signs early and seeking appropriate interventions can help enhance quality of life and overall health. It's a great idea to start monitoring hearing at age 50 with hearing rechecks every few years, or sooner if concerns arise.
You and the older adult in your life can easily start with our online hearing test. You will need a pair of decent headphones and a quiet room.
Key Reasons To Treat Hearing Loss
- Improved Communication: Wearers of any age can engage in conversations more easily, reducing misunderstandings and frustrations.
- Enhanced Safety: Better hearing can help those with hearing loss stay alert to environmental sounds, such as oncoming traffic or emergency alarms.
- Social Engagement: Treating hearing loss can prevent social withdrawal and isolation by enabling participation in family gatherings and community activities.
- Cognitive Health: Addressing hearing loss may slow cognitive decline, as ongoing engagement and interaction keep the brain active.
- Emotional Wellbeing: Seniors can experience increased independence and a greater sense of control over their lives, contributing to improved mental health.
- Quality of Life: Better hearing ultimately can lead to a more vibrant, connected, and fulfilling life, enhancing overall satisfaction and happiness.
Through countless patient interactions in my clinics, I know that addressing hearing loss really makes a world of difference for people of any age. So what hearing aid will work best for the senior in your life? Let's look at hearing aid options to give you a lay of the land.
Age-Related Hearing Loss Configuration
Age-related hearing loss, called presbycusis, most commonly affects high frequencies. Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease, can increase the likelihood of developing hearing loss. Below is a graphic that visualizes the most common hearing loss configuration among older adults. Chances are good that the senior in your life has a hearing loss configuration that looks something like this one.
Thankfully, this common hearing loss pattern is widely understood and accounted for across most modern hearing aids.
How to Choose A Hearing Aid Brand
Hearing aids come in a wide range of styles, prices and technologies. So how should you choose? Our team thinks about this everyday. We work with hearing aid wearers and clinicians to understand which products are best in class at any given moment. When we counsel caregivers, we look at a few important factors.
- Price and Insurance: Hearing aids can range from a few hundred dollars to over $5,000. A growing number of insurance plans now include hearing benefits so it's a good idea to start with an insurance or Medicare Advantage benefits check. From there, reference the list below to find a product that meets your needs and budget.
- Care Models: Users can choose between in-clinic care, telehealth care, and over-the-counter devices. This decision significantly affects both cost and method of care.
- Durability / Warranty: No matter the care model, selecting a durable product with a strong warranty is crucial. Our list below prioritizes trusted brands with these qualities.
- Dexterity: For seniors with dexterity challenges, rechargeable devices are recommended.
- Mobility and Location: Choose a product and care model that align with the user's location and ability to visit a local clinic. Over-the-counter and telehealth options can reduce the need for office visits.
- Tech Savvy: The hearing aids listed below are among the most user-friendly. We looked for options with onboard buttons, simple apps, and straightforward setup processes that caregivers can manage with minimal ongoing adjustments.
Our picks for the best hearing aids for seniors.
We'll start with the best prescription hearing aids available at a local clinic. These products are more expensive and feature-rich. They also come with professional, local support. In general, insurance is most likely to cover prescription-grade hearing aids.

Hearing aid options for seniors on a budget.
If you are shopping for someone on a fixed income or just want a simpler product, the next group of hearing aids could be a good fit. Each product below is available over-the-counter or through Telehealth. Note that these options require some setup or tech savvy.
In August 2023, Sennheiser unveiled a new OTC hearing aid expected to compete with industry leaders like Bose, Sony, and Jabra. Sennheiser All-Day Clear is a full-featured hearing aid with Bluetooth streaming, hands-free calls (both Android and iPhone, an onboard hearing test, and easy to use app.
Our team tested All-Day Clear and compared it with Sonova's flagship brands - Phonak and Unitron. Our verdict? All-Day Clear has a few missing bells and whistles, but the differences are not dealbreakers. The perfect candidate for All-Day Clear has mild-to-moderate hearing loss, is comfortable using a smartphone, and wants Sonova-made technology for a budget price.
How it works:
✔️ Start by purchasing Sennheiser here at Soundly
✔️ Once the product arrives at your home, you'll download the app and self-program the hearing aids to match your hearing loss.
✔️ If you need further adjustments, Sennheiser's technical team and give you some technical advice, but is not highly trained in hearing health matters.
- Overall notes: Based on our reviews, this hearing aid is the most complete offering in the over-the-counter market so far.
- Price: $999 for All-Day Clear with complimentary setup care through Soundly
- Features: Rechargeable batteries, Bluetooth Streaming for iPhone and Android users, Excellent Programming app, Behind-The-Ear Style

One more thing...
If you are looking for a way to get a hearing boost without springing for a traditional hearing aid, you might try AirPods Pro 2. With the right feature configuration AirPods pro can turn into a pretty good entry-level hearing aid. Read our full review on that topic here.
Airpods Pro 2 makes this list for their truly personalized audio experience.
Of course, AirPods come from the darling of consumer technology - Apple. The devices work seamlessly with iPhone and Mac products. These headphones have powerful active noise canceling capabilities and customizable Transparency Mode. Many users even turn Airpods Pro 2 into bootleg hearing aids (our how-to-guide here). Importantly, the Airpods integration with Apple Health makes it easy to upload an audiogram or take a hearing test. Your results are then applied to all Airpod audio.
One other thing we love about Airpods is their built-in volume controls. Volume management is critical if you have hearing loss and want to protect your remaining hearing. Read more about Apple's safety features here.

Factors seniors should consider when choosing hearing aids.
Prices and Insurance
Prescription hearing aids cost, on average, $4,400 for a pair at a local clinic. Unfortunately, Original Medicare does not typically cover hearing aids or exams for fitting them. However, some Medicare Advantage plans may offer partial coverage or discounts. It's essential to check with your specific plan to understand what is covered.

Care Models
High prices and low insurance coverage often lead seniors and care givers to alternate models of care including over-the-counter hearing aids and Telehealth solutions. When it comes to care delivery, you have three options to choose from: in-clinic prescription care, telehealth, or OTC hearing aids? Let’s break this down.
1. Prescription Care at A Local Clinic
Seeing a provider in a clinic has some significant advantages. It offers a hands-on approach where professionals can provide personalized recommendations, perform fittings, and offer ongoing support during the initial adjustment period and beyond. Many clinics offer drop-off maintenance services, making it easier to manage the care or troubleshooting of your senior’s hearing aids without them needing to make a trip out.
However, coordinating an in-clinic visit can be a bit challenging for some, especially if our seniors live in a care facility and need transportation. It requires careful planning and perhaps a bit of extra effort. So while the professional support they receive can be invaluable, it’s wise to evaluate all aspects of this type of care model so you can make an informed choice.
Pros and Cons of Prescription Hearing Aids for Seniors
Pros:
- Personalized Recommendations: Clinic professionals provide tailored advice based on the senior's specific hearing needs, fitting retention issues, or other concerns.
- Professional Fittings: Experts ensure the hearing aids fit properly, maximizing comfort and effectiveness.
- Ongoing Support: Visiting a clinic comes with continuous professional assistance for adjustments, maintenance, and troubleshooting at regularly scheduled intervals or as needed.
- Maintenance Services: Many clinics offer drop-off services for maintenance and repairs, reducing the burden on the senior and their caregivers.
- Companion Apps: Some prescription hearing aids come with companion apps that allow caregivers to monitor wear time, battery life, and even receive fall alerts. Not to mention the “Find My Hearing Aid” feature that can offer peace of mind.
Cons:
- Transportation Challenges: Seniors living in care facilities may face difficulties in arranging transportation to clinic appointments.
- Scheduling Coordination: Organizing clinic visits can require careful planning with respect to both seniors’ and accompanying caregivers’ schedules.
- Higher Costs: Prescription hearing aids and associated services can be more expensive compared to over-the-counter options, especially with a ‘bundled’ plan.
- Dependency on Availability: Access to professional services may be limited by the availability and location of the clinic, with rural areas potentially requiring long drives.
2. Telehealth Care Model
Telehealth care for hearing aids leverages technology to provide remote consultations, fittings, and ongoing support. This model is particularly beneficial for seniors who live in rural areas or have difficulty coordinating transportation to a clinic. Telehealth allows audiologists to connect with patients through video calls and provide personalized care from the comfort of their homes.
Pros and Cons of Telehealth Care for Seniors
Pros:
- Accessibility: Ideal for seniors in rural or remote areas, offering a convenient way to access professional hearing care without the need for travel.
- Convenience: Enables seniors to receive ongoing support and adjustments from audiologists without leaving their homes.
- Efficient Scheduling: Easier to coordinate appointments compared to in-person visits, reducing the logistical burden on caregivers.
- Personalized Care: Provides a tailored approach, similar to in-clinic visits, with the added convenience of being remote.
- Cost-Effective: Often less expensive than in-clinic visits, making it a more affordable option for continuous care.
Cons:
- Technology Requirements: Seniors need access to a reliable internet connection and a device capable of video calls, which can be a barrier for some.
- Limited Physical Interaction: The lack of hands-on care may pose challenges for fitting and physical adjustments of hearing aids.
- Comfort with Technology: Seniors and caregivers must be comfortable using technology, which can be a hurdle for those who are less tech-savvy.
- Potential for Technical Issues: Connectivity problems or technical difficulties with devices can interrupt sessions and lead to frustration.
3. Over The Counter Model
Over-the-counter (OTC) devices are becoming a popular option for those with mild to moderate hearing loss who are more budget-conscious. These devices can be more 'do-it-yourself,' meaning that while they are more affordable, they may require extra support from loved ones to ensure that seniors get the full benefit.
Setting them up and troubleshooting might require caregiver support, but for some, the cost savings are well worth it. The key here is choosing a reputable brand with the right features.
Pros and Cons of Over-the-Counter (OTC) Hearing Aids for Seniors
Pros:
- Cost-Effective: Generally more affordable than prescription hearing aids, making them a budget-friendly option.
- Accessibility: Easily available without the need for clinic appointments, providing a convenient purchase experience.
- High Quality Options: Some prescription hearing aid companies also make high quality, reputable OTC hearing aids.
- Immediate Use: Can be used immediately after purchase, without the need for fitting or customization in a clinic setting.
Cons:
- Limited Fitting Range: These devices will not work for more than a moderate hearing loss.
- Self-Management: Seniors and caregivers must handle the bulk of setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
- Technology Challenges: The setup with a Smartphone app could be challenging for some seniors who are not comfortable using an app. Most quality products work without an app after an initial setup.
- Limited Professional Support: Manufacturers offer different levels of customer support, which can include instructional videos, phone, or email support. (note: Soundly supports several OTC devices with a guided unboxing and follow-up support with an audiologist.)
Durability and Warranty
Broken hearing aids can be expensive and disruptive for seniors (and anyone else). That's why durability is another essential factor to consider when choosing a hearing aid. If you spend more time in humid or dusty environments, consider a hearing aid that stands up against these elements. More on hearing aid longevity here.
Most modern hearing aids today incorporate protective capabilities, including water resistance and charger options with built-in dehumidifiers.
As you consider a hearing aid, double-check the warranty and have issues addressed before that warranty lapses.
More premium devices generally come with the highest water resistance (look for IP68) and the most extended warranties (typically 3 years). Affordable devices may have lower IP ratings (sometimes IP57) and shorter warranty durations (1-2 years).
Dexterity
Older adults with dexterity challenges can often find themselves struggling to insert, maintain or wear hearing aids.
Thankfully, several hearing aid styles are specifically designed to address this issue. For example, an in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aid is one style that can be easier to manage and provide the necessary support for those with problems related to dexterity. ITE hearing aids offer easy insertion and fewer pieces. Read our full guide to hearing aid styles here.
If you (or a loved one) have limited dexterity, consider rechargeable batteries, as they reduce the need for tiny battery changes every 5-7 days. We've considered dexterity as we constructed the product recommendations below.
Mobility
For those in a wheelchair or care facility, in-person visits to the hearing aid clinic can pose a challenge.
Reach out to your local clinic to request a more spaced-out visit to ensure that your doctor has adequate time to fit and explain your hearing aids.
A local hearing aid clinic can also clean and check the hearing aids at regular intervals between those in-person visits, requiring only that the devices be dropped off rather than visiting the clinic in person.
You may also want to explore options like Jabra Enhance Select which programs hearing aids through Telehealth or over-the-counter devices like Sennheiser All Day Clear.
Many local clinics can also log into your hearing aids remotely for fine-tuning after an initial fitting. Double-check that the hearing aid you choose supports remote follow-up care.
Hearing Aid Styles

Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) Hearing Aids
Among hearing aid styles, Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) hearing aids stand out as the most popular behind-the-ear option. One of the primary reasons for their popularity is their comfortable and discreet design. RIC hearing aids consist of a small casing that sits comfortably behind the ear, while a thin wire connects the casing to a receiver placed in the ear canal.
RIC hearing aids are known for their versatility, rechargeable options, and the latest technology. They often come equipped with features such as Bluetooth connectivity, allowing seniors to stream audio directly from their Smartphones, if they like. Or, for those who prefer to keep things simple, RIC models offer adaptive sound processing, which automatically adjusts to different listening environments, making it easier for seniors to transition from a quiet room to a noisy restaurant without missing a beat.
Maintenance is typically quite manageable, requiring wax guard replacement and light cleaning. RIC hearing aids can also fit a wide range of hearing loss and have retention options to help them stay in the ear better for those with challenging ear canal geometry (i.e., retention wires, custom receiver with helix lock, etc.) This convenience, along with their superior sound quality and user-friendly features, makes RIC hearing aids an excellent choice for seniors seeking both reliability and comfort.
Considering these benefits, it's no wonder RIC hearing aids have become a favorite among users looking for an effective solution that combines cutting-edge technology with ease of use.
Pros and Cons of Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) Hearing Aids
When considering Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) hearing aids for a senior in your life, it's essential to weigh both the advantages and potential drawbacks. Here’s a balanced look at the pros and cons of RIC hearing aids:
Pros:
- Discreet and Comfortable: The lightweight design and the small casing behind the ear make RIC hearing aids one of the most discreet and comfortable options available.
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of hearing losses, from mild to severe.
- Advanced Features: RICs have the latest technology, with features such as Auracast connectivity for streaming audio, and automatic, adaptive sound processing.
- Rechargeability: Many models offer dexterity-friendly, rechargeable batteries, reducing the need for tiny battery replacements.
Cons:
- Cost: The advanced technology and features with premium technology through prescription care can make RIC hearing aids more expensive than other types (note: this style is also available at a lower price point through Telehealth or OTC channels).
- Durability: The receiver in the ear canal can be more susceptible to moisture and earwax buildup, potentially requiring more frequent servicing or repairs.
In-Ear Hearing Aids
In-ear style hearing aids fit inside the ear and range in size from a tiny IIC or CIC to a larger ITE devices. These devices are custom-made to fit the ear's shape. ITE hearing aids are easier to handle for seniors who may have dexterity issues. They can accommodate a wide range of hearing loss levels and some manufacturers offer rechargeable ITE devices.
Pros and Cons of In-the-Ear (ITE) Hearing Aids for Seniors
Pros:
- Custom-Made for Comfort: Since ITE hearing aids are custom-fitted to the individual’s ear, they provide good retention and fit snugly in the ear. Ready-to-wear products can also provide a comfortable fit for most ears.
- Ease of Handling: Maneuvering one piece into the ear can make them easier to insert, remove—especially beneficial for seniors with dexterity issues.
- Wide Range of Hearing Loss: These aids can accommodate different levels of hearing loss.
- Rechargeable Options: Some manufacturers offer rechargeable models, reducing the need for frequent battery changes.
Cons:
- Visibility: While in-ear devices can be discreet, ITE hearing aids are more visible than completely-in-the-canal (CIC), invisible-in-the-canal (IIC), BTE models.
- Custom Fit Requires In-Clinic: To create a custom ITE, you’ll need to visit an in-person clinic to have an ear impression made. Note: OTC and telehealth offer some ready-to-wear options.
- Moisture and Wax Issues: Being placed inside the ear canal, they are more susceptible to moisture and earwax buildup, which can affect their performance.
Senior-Friendly App Features for Hearing Aids
Many seniors are tech-savvy and appreciate access to an effective smartphone app. While apps are not critical for daily operation of hearing aids, an app allows users to change the volume, sound quality and programs. Hearing aid smartphone apps also include some unique caregiver features.
- Remote support: Some hearing aids come with companion apps that offer monitoring capabilities, such as with the Starkey Hear Share app. These apps are particularly beneficial for caregivers, as they help support the user’s hearing aid experience. For example, caregivers can view how many hours the hearing aids are being worn daily.
- Fall detection: Starkey's hearing aids also offer optional fall detection which can alert family or friends when a potential fall has occurred.
- Find my hearing aids: Several prescription hearing aid brands (Starkey, ReSound an Phonak) offer an app-based "find my hearing aid" feature which locates lost devices on a map.
Understanding these technology options helps in selecting the most appropriate hearing aid tailored to an individual's lifestyle and hearing needs.
Free or Discounted Hearing Aids For Seniors
For those on a tight budget, there are some additional options to consider for support in the financial aspect of the hearing aid process:
- Financing. Many companies and clinics offer affordable plans to fit within your budget. Jabra Enhance Select offers prices as low as $39 a month per pair.
- Have you served in the military? Reach out to the VA to see if you qualify for hearing aid coverage through service connection. Read more here.
- Do you have a Medicare Advantage plan? You may be eligible for discount pricing through a third party like TruHearing. Read more here.
- Lions Club. The Lions Club is an international organization that provides hearing aids at low or no cost through donations to their hearing aid bank. Read more about your local Lions Club here.
- Medicaid is a state and federal insurance program. Each state has different eligibility requirements, with hearing aid coverage in some states. Find out more about your state here.
Final Thoughts
Choosing the right hearing aid involves balancing a variety of factors, from fit and comfort to advanced features like Bluetooth streaming and fall detection. Whether you opt for an over-the-counter model or a custom prescription device, the key is to find something that meets your specific needs and lifestyle.
