How do I compare hearing aids on this page?
You compare hearing aids here in three simple steps — it takes less than a minute:

Choose a model
Pick the model. Do the same in box 2. Add a third one if you like.
Press “Compare now”

What should I look at when comparing hearing aids?
When comparing hearing aids, look at six things — in this order:
- Your hearing test. The right hearing aid depends on how much and what kind of hearing loss you have. Very powerful losses need a behind-the-ear (BTE) model.
- Technology level. Higher levels (Premium, Advanced) handle noisy places — weddings, markets, family dinners — better and adjust themselves more. In a quiet home, every level gives clear sound.
- Style. Receiver-in-canal (RIC) suits most people; in-the-ear and invisible models are more discreet but need steady fingers and use small batteries.
- Battery. Rechargeable hearing aids charge overnight like a phone — easier if you have stiff fingers or weak eyesight.
- Bluetooth. Lets you hear phone calls, TV and music directly in your hearing aids.
- Price and aftercare. Compare the price per ear and what it includes. At Fairfield every price includes fitting, Real Ear Measurement and 2 years of free aftercare.
What do hearing aid technology levels mean?
Hearing aid technology levels are a brand’s versions of the same hearing aid with more or fewer automatic features. The higher the level, the better it copes with noise — the sound in a quiet room is clear at every level.
| Level | Good for |
|---|---|
| Premium | Very busy lives: meetings, restaurants, travel, groups of people talking at once |
| Advanced | Active social life with regular noisy places |
| Standard | Mostly home and small groups, some noisy outings |
| Essential / Basic | Quiet daily life at home, TV and one-to-one conversation |
| Entry / Lower Basic | Simple needs and the lowest budget |
Each brand names its levels differently. Compare levels within the same brand; our audiologist can tell you which level of another brand is closest.
Which hearing aid style is right for me?
The right hearing aid style depends on your hearing loss, how discreet you want it to be and how easy it is for you to handle:
| Style | How it looks | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| Receiver-in-canal (RIC) | Small case behind the ear, thin wire into the ear | Most people; mild to severe loss; often rechargeable with Bluetooth |
| Behind-the-ear (BTE) | Larger case behind the ear with a tube or ear mould | Severe to profound loss, children, easy handling |
| In-the-ear (ITE / ITC) | Custom shell in the outer ear | Mild to moderately severe loss; no wire behind the ear |
| Invisible (CIC / IIC) | Tiny custom shell deep in the ear canal | Mild to moderate loss; people who want them unseen |

All six are leading hearing aid makers, and each makes excellent hearing aids at every technology level. The better one for you is the one that suits your hearing test, the shape of your ear, how busy your days are and your budget. Our audiologists can let you try two or three side by side before you decide.
No. A higher-priced hearing aid is better in noisy places and adjusts itself more, but it is not louder. If you spend most of your day at home or in quiet places, a mid-level hearing aid can work just as well. The right choice depends on your hearing test and lifestyle.
The prices are Fairfield’s current price for one hearing aid (one ear): the MRP minus our discount. They are checked regularly, and your final price is confirmed in writing after your free hearing test, because the right model and accessories depend on your hearing.
“Not listed” means the manufacturer’s feature list for that model does not mention the feature — brands describe their features differently, so it does not always mean the hearing aid cannot do it. “Ask us” means the detail is not stated. Call or WhatsApp us and our audiologist will tell you.
