What makes a hearing aid 'premium'?
Three things: AI processing depth (number of channels, environment scenes), build quality (industrial design, IP rating, ergonomics), and ecosystem (Bluetooth, smartphone app, accessories, service network). Premium tiers also include longer warranty and richer fitting/follow-up.
