Advanced Prescription Hearing Aid Technology
Personalized Hearing Technology That Works for Your Unique Ears
Today’s hearing aid tech is moving in leaps and bounds past the stereotypical devices of old, including features like AI sound processing, directional microphones, machine learning, Bluetooth connectivity, and smartphone compatibility so you can stream music and phone calls directly into your ears.
Moving with the times
When you think of hearing aids, chances are that you imagine an off-pink or beige device that doesn’t look too pretty buzzing behind your parent’s or grandparent’s ear, constantly getting fiddled with and causing stress or discomfort.
While these negative stigmas of hearing aids are trying to cling on today, that bad image is slowly fading. Modern-day hearing aids are not only more powerful (no more buzzing!) but they’re also significantly smaller, and unless someone knows for a fact you’re wearing one, they won’t be able to see it at all.
If you’re struggling with hearing challenges, hearing aids could make a world of difference to not just your hearing health, but your entire body. Untreated hearing loss has been linked to balance disorders, cognitive decline, dementia, and more—moderate those risks by taking charge of your hearing health.
Styles of Hearing Aids
Hearing aids come in a variety of styles, each designed to meet different hearing needs, lifestyle preferences, and aesthetic choices. From virtually invisible designs to more traditional options, modern hearing aids combine functionality and comfort with advanced technology. Here’s an overview of the most common styles:
FAQs About
Hearing Aids
Often it's the small questions that hold us back from making progress. Here's some of the most common
Will hearing aids fix my hearing loss?
Hearing aids for hearing loss are akin to glasses for vision loss: They’ll alleviate struggles and help you function and thrive in your day-to-day life, but unfortunately they will not cure the issue. Hearing loss has no cure or magic surgery to fix it. What hearing aids do is enhance your current levels of hearing so that you can listen to what you’ve been missing without missing a beat.
Will I need one or two hearing aids?
This depends on your specific hearing loss requirements, but typically we prescribe two hearing aids because, after all, you have two ears! Bimodal fittings, or wearing hearing aids in both ears, will not only help you understand speech and determine where sounds are coming from, but will also improve your ability to hear in noisy settings and give sounds a fuller, richer quality. Plus, with both ears fitted, you won’t be working one ear overtime while the other doesn’t hear a thing.
How much do hearing aids cost?
Each hearing aid’s make and model is different, and all cost different price points. Rest assured that if you’re working with a specific budget or need to hit a certain cost for insurance benefits, we’ll work with your unique needs to ensure you get not only the best tech for what your hearing requires, but also tech that won’t break the bank, either.
Will my insurance cover my hearing aids?
This depends on your insurance policy; some insurance policies cover hearing aids, while others need the devices to cost a certain amount before benefits are given. Please ask your provider for more details on your policy, and we’ll work with your insurance requirements to make sure you get the best of the best on your budget.
What’s the difference between prescription hearing aids and over-the-counter hearing aids, like the ones at Costco?
The closest comparison for these two devices would be prescription eyeglasses versus “readers” you can get at the supermarket: One will correct your specific challenges, where the other is a more general option for those in need of a quick fix. Prescription hearing aids are the best fit if your hearing loss challenges are moderate to severe, as we’ll work with your unique needs to ensure that your hearing is well looked after for a long time. While over-the-counter devices can work in a pinch for those with mild hearing loss, you can further optimize your hearing with prescription devices.
