YOUR TRUSTED SOURCE FOR
Hearing Solutions
We offer a comprehensive range of hearing solutions, including hearing aids, assistive listening devices, and alerting devices, to meet your unique hearing needs. Hearing aids provide amplification for everyday sounds, while assistive listening devices (ALDs) enhance hearing in specific situations like noisy environments or during TV viewing. Alerting devices help those with hearing loss stay aware of important signals, such as alarms or doorbells. For those with more severe hearing loss, we can provide a referral for cochlear implants, which offer an advanced solution by directly stimulating the auditory nerve. We also provide hearing aid battery sales, ensuring your devices are always powered and ready to perform at their best.
YOUR NEXT STEP TO BETTER HEARING
The Selection Process
After completing your hearing assessment and receiving a recommendation for hearing aids, the next step is choosing a hearing device that fits your lifestyle - this is an exciting milestone in your hearing journey! It’s about finding the perfect balance between technology, comfort, and convenience. Your hearing aids will be tailored to enhance your unique lifestyle and help you hear with confidence in every situation.
Audiological factors such as the Type (origin, cause) and Degree (the amount, impact) are important in deciding your hearing loss treatment needs. Not at all hearing device styles are appropriate for all types and degrees of hearing loss. Our Audiologist will discuss how these variables impact your hearing treatment needs.
Type of Hearing Loss
The first factor to consider is your degree of hearing loss. Not all hearing aid styles and technologies are appropriate for all hearing losses. Our Audiologist will guide you on whether you need mild amplification or advanced technology.
Lifestyle & Listening Environment
Another factor in determining the best treatment options for your hearing loss involves assessment of your unique listening lifestyle. Consider your daily activities and listening environment - someone who is still active and in a variety of difficult listening situations may have different needs than someone who is mostly using the hearing aids to watch tv, or for one-on-one conversations. Active lifestyles benefit most from advanced noise reduction and Bluetooth connectivity, while simpler models may suffice for quieter routines.
Manual Dexterity
The third factor is your manual dexterity - the smaller the hearing aids, the more difficult they are to manipulate; from inserting in your ears, to changing batteries more often due to smaller battery size.
Budget
The general rule here is to get the best set of hearing instruments/devices you can afford. The premium products definitely out-perform the standard devices in a variety of listening situations, but it is important that you are comfortable with the amount of money you are going to spend.
As a patient centered care clinic, our Audiologist will help you find the specific product best suited to treat your unique hearing heath needs.
Features & Fit
Lastly, it is important that your hearing aid feels comfortable in your ear. Devices come in various sizes and styles. We will help you find one that fits your ears comfortably for long-term wear. There are also many different features available, like Bluetooth and wireless technology, feedback cancellation, or rechargeable batteries, depending on your preferences.
FIND YOUR PERFECT MATCH
Types of Hearing Aids
There are a number of different styles of hearing aids. Depending on your hearing loss, manual dexterity, size of your ear, lifestyle and other factors, some hearing aids may be more appropriate than others. Each type comes with unique features and benefits, allowing you to choose the style that best fits your lifestyle and hearing needs.
Behind-the-Ear (BTE)
Suitable for all degrees of hearing loss, from mild to profound. BTE hearing aids sit behind the ear, with a tube connecting to a custom earpiece. They provide powerful amplification, durability, and can accommodate a variety of advanced features like Bluetooth connectivity.
In-the-Ear (ITE)
Best for mild to severe hearing loss. ITE hearing aids are custom-molded to fit the outer portion of the ear. They are easy to insert and remove, with options for controls and advanced features, and they provide a snug fit for a more natural sound experience.
In-the-Canal (ITC)
Suitable for mild to moderate hearing loss, ITC devices are custom-fitted and sit partially in the ear canal. They are smaller and more discreet than ITE models, offering a balance of subtlety and ease of use, with options for additional features like volume controls.
Completely-In-the-Canal (CIC)
Ideal for mild to moderate hearing loss, CIC hearing aids fit completely inside the ear canal, making them nearly invisible. CIC devices are highly discreet, making them perfect for those who want an unobtrusive hearing aid, though they may lack some advanced features due to their small size.
Receiver-In-Canal (RIC)
Ideal for mild to severe hearing loss, RIC or RITE (receiver-in-the-ear) devices place the receiver within the ear canal, linked to the main body of the hearing aid via a slender wire that rests behind the ear. They offer a comfortable, discreet fit with clear sound quality and are less visible than BTE models, and offer advanced features like Bluetooth connectivity.
Invisible-In-Canal (IIC)
Suitable for mild to moderate hearing loss. IIC hearing aids are custom-made to fit deep inside the ear canal, making them virtually invisible. They are extremely discreet and offer a great option for individuals who prioritize appearance, though they may have fewer features due to their small size.
Bone Anchored (BAHA)
Ideal for individuals with conductive or mixed hearing loss, or those with single-sided deafness. BAHA devices bypass the outer and middle ear by transmitting sound directly to the inner ear via bone conduction. Perfect for people with issues in the ear canal or middle ear, they provide clear sound without blocking the ear canal.
CROS & BiCROS
Designed for people with hearing loss in one ear (CROS) or deafness in one ear and hearing loss in the other (BiCROS). CROS hearing aids transmit sound from the non-hearing ear to the hearing ear, while BiCROS amplifies sound from both sides. These devices provide better sound awareness and spatial hearing, especially single-sided hearing loss.
Personal Sound Amplification
Personal Sound Amplification Products (PSAP) are designed for those with normal hearing who want to amplify sounds in specific environments (e.g., hunting or bird watching). PSAPs amplify environmental sounds but are not designed for people with hearing loss. They can enhance sound perception in select situations and are more cost effective than hearing aids, though they lack sophisticated feature options.
Bluetooth
The Bluetooth connectivity feature provides a convenient and efficient way to pair your hearing aids with your smartphone and other compatible devices. This advanced functionality enables seamless audio streaming, allowing you to enjoy phone calls, listen to your favorite music, and engage with various multimedia applications without any hassle. Whether you're in a busy environment or simply relaxing at home, this feature enhances your overall hearing experience by delivering clear, high-quality sound directly to your hearing aids, making everyday interactions and entertainment more enjoyable.
Wireless
Wireless technology allows your hearing aids to communicate with various devices without the need for pairing (like with Bluetooth), offering convenience for everyday situations. Wireless hearing aids allow you to stream music and calls directly to your ears and often feature advanced noise reduction and customizable settings, which can significantly enhance sound clarity in various environments. Compared to non-wireless devices, these modern aids not only improve convenience and control but also elevate your overall quality of life through effortless communication and entertainment.
Program of Care
Once hearing aids are fitted, our program of care involves multiple appointments during a 90-day trial period to ensure your device is the perfect fit for your ear and lifestyle. At the conclusion of this trial, we schedule a follow-up checkup at 3 months, as well as an annual checkup to assess your progress and any further needs. We also recommend an updated hearing test every one to two years, or as needed based on specific events.
