For people suffering from hearing loss, buying hearing aids is one of the most important purchases they will ever make.

But with so many brands and models to choose from, it can be a confusing and overwhelming search with very little objective information to guide them.

Now, thanks to the pioneering efforts of Dr. Abram Bailey and his colleagues at HearAdvisor.com  consumers, audiologists and specialists have access to clear and accurate information about how different hearing aids perform and which one might be the best choice.

To create objective comparisons and reviews, HearAdvisor uses “an industry-standard acoustic manikin, lab-recreated ambisonic audio environments and validated scientific metrics. HearAdvisor will provide comprehensive and unbiased assessments of how well real hearing aids perform on the ear.  And at HearingTracker.com, visitors are now able to listen to the lab’s recordings and compare prices for all of today’s most popular models”.

“Consumers with hearing loss need much better information to make informed decisions, especially given the thousands of dollars they may spend on a pair of premium hearing aids,” says Bailey, “HearAdvisor’s independent, objective scientific data will introduce a new dimension of information for shoppers who until today had to rely on marketing claims and the subjective opinions of product reviewers.”

Developing this technology has been Abram’s dream for over a decade.  Now it’s a reality that will empower consumers. They will now be able to “test drive” many different devices without having to try them on.  There’s now a dummy who will do that for you.
