For audiology students currently dispensing, what is your preferred brand of hearing instruments to dispense? Do you get to choose or is this decided for you by your preceptor? What have been your experiences with customer service? Are there any hearing aid features that you have been enthusiastic about?
My preference, in terms of customer service, has been Phonak and Unitron. In terms of pricing, it seems that Unitron and Rexton give the patients the most value for their money. I think the most interesting feature I have seen has been Phonak's ZoomControl feature available on their Exelia product. It allows for the user to select which azimuth the directional mic is most sensitive at via their MyPilot remote. I also like Siemen's Tek Wireless (bluetooth) system available for their Pure, Motion, Life, and Explorer product lines.
