Hearing aid comparison results

Currently comparing: Starkey Halo iQ vs Widex BEYOND

We are currently developing a full-featured hearing aid comparison engine. Some of the older hearing aid listings have been updated to include a full feature set, and all new hearing aids (entered 2017 forward) will include a full feature set. An on-staff audiologist at Hearing Tracker is responsible for the data included in our product directory, and in some cases assistance has been provided by hearing aid manufacturers. All hearing aid manufacturers are invited to contribute comprehensive/accurate data to our system. We also invite all corrections (We do not guarantee the accuracy of the current data). Please contact info@hearingtracker.com with any suggestions.
