Hearing Aid Accessories and Technology
In some cases, patients who have a more severe hearing loss need extra help in addition to hearing aids. The biggest complaints we hear are listening in noise, on the phone, or to the TV. Depending on your hearing loss and lifestyle, additional devices may help to supplement where the hearing aid is not enough. Some technology that is available today are Bluetooth hearing aids that connect directly to smartphones, such as an iPhone or Android. The ability to listen to your phone and TV directly through your hearing aids, and remote microphones allow you to boost what you want to hear at a distance or in noise.
The other complaint we often hear is that of annoying ringing or buzzing in the ears. This is known as tinnitus. Although there is no cure for tinnitus, some of the hearing aids we carry have programs to help manage the symptoms of tinnitus.

This gives you the freedom to do what you love while enjoying a more natural listening experience.
Hearing Aid Repair and Maintenance
Hearing Aid Batteries
Hearing aids are minicomputers focused on sound-scaping, and therefore require a power source. The batteries need to be changed, on average, once a week (unless rechargeable). We will work to ensure that you know when and how to change the batteries.
