Discover Audiology guides you in selecting hearing aids based on your communication needs, lifestyle, and budget. Like so many other consumer products, hearing aids are designed to offer several hearing performance levels to meet the needs of a wide range of hearing loss levels and user demands. Hearing aid devices are dispensed on a trial basis.

In-house demonstrations allow patients to learn and hear the differences in hearing devices.
 

Most hearing devices using rechargeable batteries are highly reliable and efficient. Lithium-ion batteries used in many hearing aids offer up to 20 hours of use and take only 3 hours to fully charge. Disposable Zinc-air and rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries are not interchangeable.

​

Nearly all levels of technology use Bluetooth to stream phone calls, TV, and music directly to your hearing aids or connect wirelessly to other devices, such as an iPad, tablet, or TV.

​

Both iPhone and Android smartphones are compatible with your hearing device; however, both require the latest models and latest software updates.  An APP is downloaded to your compatible cell phone, offering access to more features such as volume control, personalized programs, changes in noise reduction, and locating lost devices through GPS.

​

Technology alone is not the solution to your hearing problem.  Improved hearing is achieved by:

​

• Committing to wearing the devices on a consistent basis to adapt to a new world of sound.

 

• Learning how to best clean and care for the devices in order to maximize their life expectancy.

 

• Applying strategies for communicating in challenging listening environments.
