Frequently Asked Questions About Hearing Aids
|
|
What can I expect from my first appointment? |
| |
At your first appointment we’ll begin by inspecting your ear to check the health of your ear drum and canal. We’ll complete an air and bone hearing loss test. Then we’ll conduct a speech test. A speech test allows us and you to understand that hearing loss involves both hearing sounds and being able to understand them. We’re happy to answer any questions about hearing loss and hearing aids. |
|
How long does a hearing test take? |
| |
We recommend blocking one hour out of your schedule to allow plenty of time to complete the video inspection, hearing test and speech test. |
|
Why do you request we bring a friend or family member with us?
|
| |
During your appointment, particularly the speech portion, having a familiar voice allows you to recognize the difference with and without hearing aids. |
|
How much do hearing aids cost?
|
| |
Which hearing aid is right for you is dependent on your unique hearing loss and lifestyle. No matter your budget we are confident we can help you achieve your goal of hearing better and experiencing life more fully. |
|

|
Do all hearing aids sit behind your ear? |
| |
No, there are many styles and colors of hearing aids, some can’t even be seen! We’d be happy to show them to you and help make the correct decision for you. |
