Do others complain the TV is too loud?
Do you use the phrases, “excuse me”, “can you repeat that”, or “what did you say” several times a day?
Do you plan your nights out based on how loud it might be at your destination?

Choosing Your Hearing Aid Provider

We will not only conduct your audiological examination, but we will program your hearing aids under the close watch of our professional audiologist. In addition, follow up appointments will make sure that your hearing aids are performing optimally. Just because your hearing aid has been programmed to the results of your audiogram does not necessarily mean it will perform its best in everyday real life situations.
Our audiologist will work with you,
Choosing Your Hearing Aid
The hearing aids we select for you are based on the results of the test, your budget, your lifestyle and a host of other factors. We promise to explain everything to you, without using a bunch of technical terms. To give you a little bit of information about hearing aids in general, below is a list of the current styles we carry.
Professional Staff
For the best hearing healthcare, you should seek a professional, experienced and compassionate doctor of audiology.
Will Hearing Aids Improve My Hearing?
If you are hearing impaired, you will benefit from wearing hearing aids. However, the amount of benefit will depend on many factors.
- The length of time you waited before you did something about your problem.
- The hearing you have left (residual hearing).
- The degree to which your speech discrimination (word recognition ability) has been affected.
- Your overall health: diabetes, stroke, kidney disease.
- How well you adapt to change.
Your hearing loss didn’t happen overnight. Because hearing loss is generally a gradual change, you may not realize how severe your own hearing loss is and even be in denial of it. Change is difficult for anyone and much like if you got a new eyeglass prescription you would need some time to adapt, with hearing aids it’s no different. You must remain open-minded through the process and try to provide your audiologist with any positive or negative experiences you had with your hearing aids so that they can further fine tune the hearing aids to you on your follow up appointments. It may take some time to get the maximum benefit from your hearing aids.
