Hearing Aids

A hearing aid is just that. It will aid you in hearing and assist you in communicating. Cutting-edge technology has given us a variety of options in providing you the best sound quality for your specific type of hearing loss, and your lifestyle. When you come to the Dept. of Otolaryngology for a hearing evaluation and consultation, we will work with you to provide the best solution based on your hearing test results, needs, and concerns. We give you all the facts to help you to make an educated choice about your hearing healthcare. To obtain the maximum benefits from a hearing aid, we include beneficial pre-counselng, fitting, repairs, and follow-up care, on-site, as part of our standard services.

Because everyone has different levels of hearing loss and speech discrimination, people will benefit differently when using amplification. If speech discrimination is good they will respond better to a hearing aid than someone with poor speech discrimination, even if their ability to hear the tones is similar.

All hearing aids work on the same principle. They also have the same basic parts:
