The Hearing Help Planner
Keep your provider, your test results and your device on one card, log the trial period so a real device decision replaces a guess, and compare a shortlist honestly before you buy, all backed by an online buyer guide that stays current after the PDF does not.
- 10 fill-in worksheets, 26 print pages
- 2 filled-in hypothetical examples to copy the format from
- Companion Excel / Google Sheets tracker with a running budget total
- Online buyer guide with current prices, by budget tier
Replaces the sticky note with the audiologist's number on it that always goes missing, a trial period judged from a vague impression, and a device bought without comparing it to anything else.
30-day money-back guarantee. Use it all; if it doesn't help, every dollar back.

Plus the online buyer guide
Three complete hearing setups, starter through full, every item priced and linked, plus every product the kit names, kept current on this site. Your kit links straight to it, so the prices you plan with are today's, not the day the PDF was printed.
Who it's for
- Anyone starting the OTC vs prescription decision who wants a real comparison, not a marketing page
- Anyone in a trial period who wants a daily log instead of a single verdict on day one
- A caregiver or family member who wants the provider, the device and the batteries written down somewhere everyone can check
- Anyone comparing two or three devices who wants fit, rechargeable, app and trial period side by side
- Anyone who wants their own insurance or benefit coverage checked properly instead of assumed
Who made this
Built by the HearingGearGuide team from the same hearing loss categories, WHO grades and NIOSH exposure figures the free site's reference charts use, laid out as a workbook to fill in rather than a page to read.
30-day money-back guarantee
Use the whole kit. If it doesn't help, fill in the refund form within 30 days and you get every dollar back. No questions asked. Refund form.
Questions
Does this replace the free site?
No. The free site has the charts, comparisons and buying guides; the kit is where your own provider's contact, your own test results, your own device and your own trial period get written down, dated and reused.
Does this diagnose my hearing or tell me what category I am in?
No. Nothing in this kit measures hearing or assigns a category. The Hearing At A Glance sheet has a place to copy the classification your own provider already gave you; it never computes one.
Is this medical advice?
No. It is researched organizing and record-keeping information. Every sheet says so, and any red flag on the When To See A Professional sheet points to a doctor, not to this kit.
Does it tell me what my insurance covers?
No, and it never invents a dollar figure. The Budget & Benefits Planner has a checklist for calling your own plan and a place to write down what you learn.
What if it does not help?
Use the whole kit for 30 days. If it does not help, the refund form on the contact page gets every dollar back, no questions asked. Refund form.
Printable or fillable on screen?
Both. Print it and write by hand, or open a worksheet PDF in a reader that supports typing and fill it on a tablet or phone.
