Information on hearing loss and hearing aids
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a hearing test?
Our audiologist, Jaklin Naghdi Gabaee, will conduct a thorough audiologic evaluation and measure your hearing ability. Your results will be fully explained to you and we will answer any questions you may have. If you could benefit from hearing aids, we will gladly go over your options to find a hearing aid that fits your lifestyle and hearing needs.
I am a U.S. Veteran; do you offer any discounts for servicemen and women?
We are proud to say we love our vets! We can help you with your hearing care and will navigate you to the right resources.
I have a hard time changing batteries, is there a hearing aid option for me?
Absolutely! We carry many hearing aids that are completely rechargeable. These hearing aids don’t require any changing of batteries. You simply place your hearing aids on their charging station at night (like you would your cell phone) and in the morning you’ll have fully charged devices. We even carry hearing aids you can wear for months at a time without removing them from your ears, and they are sleep and shower safe. Contact us today to learn more about your options.
Will hearing aids restore my hearing back to normal?
While hearing aids are a great tool that will help you hear better and with more clarity, they will not restore hearing ability. Hearing loss is unfortunately irreversible but it can be successfully managed with hearing aids.
What level of technology do I need in hearing aids?
Determining the level of hearing aid technology best for you is highly personal. Our audiologist will use the results of your audiogram along with your personal preferences to determine what will be the best option for you.
Are hearing aids expensive?
Hearing aids range in price depending on the level of technology. The technology level you need will be determined after we learn more about your daily activities and the situations where you struggle with hearing the most. We offer competitive pricing on our hearing aids so you can find a hearing aid that meets your needs and your budget. We also offer payment plans so you can pay monthly.
Hearing Aid Tips
Wearing hearing aids is an adjustment. For new users, your ears are experiencing and hearing sounds they haven’t heard in years, all at an amplified level. Here are a few tips for new hearing aid users to help you adjust:
Practice, patience, and consistency will offer the best results with your new hearing aids!
1. Give yourself some time to adjust! Many sounds that you have not heard may seem loud (such as the wind or air conditioning). There will be more of a gradual adjustment to hearing these sounds rather than an immediate fix.
2. Read aloud. Listening to the sound of your own voice will help you become accustomed to your new hearing aids and the newly introduced sounds.
3. Don’t be intimidated by background noise. Those with normal hearing also have difficult listening situations. As you continue to wear your hearing aids, know that these sounds are normal. Your focused attention on speech sounds allows your auditory nerves to remain active and decreases your chances of cognitive decline, depression, and social isolation.
