Why you should feel relieved when you purchase
hearing aids from our clinic
Once you have been seen by an Audiologist, and tested for hearing loss your doctor may decide that you may benefit from hearing aids. There are numerous hearing aid styles, types, and manufacturers available! While this may seem overwhelming, our Doctor of Audiology provides the most appropriate hearing aid recommendation for you.
Hearing aids: How to choose the right one
Many types of hearing aids exist.
So which is best for you?
What to consider when choosing a hearing aid.
Perhaps you've thought about getting a hearing aid,
but you're worried about how it will look or whether it
will really help. We will ease your concerns by educating
you on the most appropriate options, but in the meantime
you may want to know more about:
The hearing aid options available to you
How to get used to it
Realistic expectations → Hearing aids can't restore normal hearing, but they can
improve your hearing by amplifying soft sounds, helping you hear sounds that you've had trouble hearing.
How hearing aids work
Small microphones on the hearing aid collect sounds from the environment. A computer chip with an amplifier converts the incoming sound into digital code. It analyzes and adjusts the sound based on your hearing loss, listening needs and the level of the sounds around you. The amplified signals are then converted back into louder sound waves and delivered to your ears through small speakers.
Hearing aid styles
Hearing aids vary a great deal in size, special features and the
way they're placed in your ear.
