    In this episode of Hearing Aid Shopping, Sterling breaks down the common roadblocks adults and their aging parents face after receiving an audiogram—navigating OTC versus prescription devices, return windows, and Medicare Advantage rules that often stall progress for weeks. Learn a simple three-step path to match loss patterns, compare policies, and verify coverage so you can move from research to scheduled fitting in the same week. Discover why a fresh audiologist test beats old results or online screenings, how OTC suits mild-moderate loss while prescriptions handle complex patterns, and the critical return timelines (30-60 days OTC versus 90+ for prescriptions) that prevent costly regrets. Plus, get the exact questions to ask your Medicare Advantage plan upfront.

    Key takeaways:
    - Book a recent hearing test from a licensed audiologist first
    - Compare return policies and seller processes side by side
    - Call your Medicare Advantage plan with test results to confirm coverage and network rules

    2026/07/20
    In this episode of Hearing Aid Shopping, we break down the critical first steps that trip up most adults with hearing loss or adult children assisting a parent. From decoding an audiogram to comparing return windows and Medicare Advantage coverage, we show how the initial choices shape every decision that follows. Learn why reviewing your test results before shopping prevents mismatches with device features, and why fine print on trial periods and restocking fees matters more than the price tag.

    - Request a digital audiogram copy and mark key loss frequencies for easy device comparisons
    - Confirm exact return policies (30-90 days) and any restocking fees before buying
    - Contact your insurer directly for Medicare Advantage benefit details and network rules
    - Align device features like high-frequency boost to your specific thresholds for better outcomes
