Get answers to the most frequently asked questions about hearing aids

The cost of hearing aids depends on the technology, features, and your individual needs. We offer a range of options and provide free consultations to help you find the best solution for your hearing and budget.

Hearing aids typically last 3-7 years with proper care and maintenance. Factors affecting lifespan include:

  • Technology level and features
  • Daily usage patterns
  • Maintenance and cleaning schedule
  • Environmental conditions

We provide regular check-ups and maintenance services to extend your hearing aid's life.

Main hearing aid types include:

  • BTE (Behind-The-Ear): Most powerful, suitable for all hearing loss levels
  • RIC (Receiver-In-Canal): Natural sound quality, discreet design
  • ITC (In-The-Canal): Custom-fitted, moderate hearing loss
  • CIC (Completely-In-Canal): Nearly invisible, mild to moderate hearing loss
  • IIC (Invisible-In-Canal): Completely hidden, maximum discretion

Our audiologists help you choose based on your hearing loss, lifestyle, and preferences.

We offer top hearing aid brands, each with unique features:

  • Phonak: Excellent connectivity and rechargeable options
  • Signia: Advanced noise reduction and speech clarity
  • Widex: Natural sound quality and comfort

Our audiologists help you choose based on your hearing loss, lifestyle, and preferences.

Common signs you may need hearing aids:

  • Difficulty understanding conversations, especially in noisy environments
  • Frequently asking people to repeat themselves
  • Turning up TV or radio volume higher than others prefer
  • Avoiding social situations due to hearing difficulty
  • Ringing or buzzing sounds in your ears (tinnitus)
  • Difficulty hearing on the telephone

We recommend a comprehensive hearing assessment to determine if hearing aids are needed.

While you'll notice improvement immediately, it takes time to adjust to hearing aids:

  • Immediate: Better hearing and sound awareness
  • First week: Getting used to amplified sounds
  • First month: Improved speech understanding
  • Ongoing: Fine-tuning and optimization

Our audiologists provide proper fitting, programming, and follow-up care to ensure optimal performance.

No, hearing aids should be removed before sleeping. Here's why:

  • Prevents damage from pressure and moisture
  • Saves battery life
  • Allows your ears to rest and breathe
  • Reduces risk of ear infections
  • Prevents feedback and whistling sounds

We provide proper storage cases and cleaning instructions to maintain your hearing aids.

Battery life depends on several factors:

  • Size 10: 3-7 days
  • Size 13: 7-10 days
  • Size 312: 10-14 days
  • Size 675: 14-21 days

Factors affecting battery life:

  • Daily usage hours
  • Hearing aid features (Bluetooth, streaming)
  • Environmental conditions (humidity, temperature)
  • Battery quality and storage

We sell genuine batteries and provide guidance on battery management.

Insurance coverage varies by provider and plan:

  • Health insurance: Some plans cover hearing aids partially or fully
  • Medicare: Generally doesn't cover hearing aids for adults
  • Medicaid: May cover hearing aids for children and some adults
