✅ Buying Tips for Pune
-
Get a detailed audiogram from a licensed audiologist before choosing. This will guide channel count and device style
-
Try multiple devices—RIC vs CIC styles feel different; clinics like Sound Comforts offer free trials .
-
Check warranty & service: Prefer 3–4 year full coverage and free annual tune-ups.
-
Mind accessories: Case charger (USB‑C), smartphone app control, TV streaming, and tinnitus features—choose based on your lifestyle. Models like Pure Charge & Go and Styletto have premium app-based and AI sound tweaking.
-
For discretion, CIC models like Silk X are almost invisible; RIC Styletto suits users comfortable with behind‑ear wear.
