Will people be able to see my hearing aids?

Oftentimes, people don't even notice you're wearing hearing aids, but hearing aids are generally not actually invisible. If you're worried about people seeing your hearing aids, ask yourself if you mind whether people can see you're wearing glasses. There's nothing wrong with needing a device to help you hear or see better. An added bonus of choosing hearing aids that are more visible is that then people know they have to speak more clearly to you, so you'll have better, easier conversations.

What kinds of hearing loss are there?

There are three kinds of hearing loss: Conductive hearing loss requires medical intervention. It means something is blocking the sound, often earwax or fluid from illness. Sensorineural hearing loss refers to damage to your hearing nerve (which can be caused by exposure to loud noise or just a side effect of aging). This is usually treated by hearing aids. Mixed hearing loss has elements of both. In these cases, we'll recommend that you go see a medical professional to address your conductive hearing loss, and then we'll bring you back in to see if we can help you with hearing aids.

Will my hearing aids be like my parents' or grandparents' hearing aids?

No. Hearing aids have come a long way since the days of analog hearing aids. Modern hearing aids can process background noise to help you hear better in more challenging environments, and they are much smaller and subtler than ever before. Better technology and smarter designs mean they won't squeal. And they're easier to use, too.

How do I take care of my hearing aids?

A hearing aid evaluation and cleaning. It's important to keep up with the day-to-day maintenance of your hearing aids. We will show you how to clean them at your appointment, and we'll work with you until you're comfortable cleaning them and changing the wax guard. Clean them daily. Change the wax guard monthly. Store them in a dry environment and away from pets. Never wear them while swimming or bathing. Change the batteries regularly. Bring them to us every six months for an evaluation.

How long will my hearing aids last?

If you follow the regular care and maintenance of your hearing aids, they should last you 3-5 years. However, since hearing aid technology is always advancing, we find that many patients want to replace their hearing aids every 3 years so they can benefit from the new technology.
