Hearing Aids
With a wide range of technology options, and expertise in fitting all styles and brands, Associated Hearing can help you find the solution that is perfect for your hearing, your lifestyle, and your budget.
Today’s hearing aids are comfortable, discrete, and effective
When you think of a hearing aid, what do you picture? Many folks have less than affectionate memories of the devices worn by relatives or classmates in the distant past — clunky, conspicuous, and sometimes noisy devices that seemed like a hassle to the wearer.We’re happy to tell you that today’s hearing aids are nothing of the sort. In fact, modern digital hearing aid technology is incredibly discrete in its design, fits comfortably no matter the style, and can be personalized to any type of treatable hearing loss, giving the wearer an increased sense of confidence and hearing ability.
Not only are today’s devices more effective than ever, they’re also more flexible than ever, with capabilities that wirelessly stream sound from smartphones, tablets, computers, televisions, and more. There are even rechargeable options available in certain styles.
Associated Hearing offers technology from all leading manufacturers in order to give you as many options as are appropriate for your unique hearing condition.
The key to getting a great fit? Your relationship with your provider. The Associated Hearing team is trained on all new hearing aid technology and its associated fitting software, and just as important, we’re trained on how to connect with the people in our care so that we’re making recommendations that suit the way you want to live your life.
Technology alone is not a cure, but the right technology combined with a genuine commitment to care can create incredible outcomes.
How to choose the right hearing aid for you
Hearing loss is a personal experience. We believe that the hearing aid fitting process should be, too. There is a wide range of hearing aid options available, but not all are appropriate for certain types of hearing loss. At Associated Hearing, when we’re making technology recommendations, there are a number of factors that we consider, including your age, your lifestyle, as well as the results of your audiogram, the latter of which shows us what frequencies of sound you’re missing and what sounds you’re able to process. With this info in mind, what you need out of a hearing aid will become much clearer. Typically, the longer you’ve been living with untreated hearing loss, the more difficulty you have processing sounds, requiring a more powerful hearing device.Hearing loss is often a gradual occurrence, causing your brain to work overtime to make up for the sounds you’re missing. Your brain working harder to process sound can cause fatigue, confusion, and sometimes even feelings of depression and isolation.
This is why understanding your lifestyle is so important to our process. If you’re someone who loves to spend with friends and family but your hearing loss has been preventing you from fully engaging in those experiences, we’ll assess what that means to you — small, quieter gatherings vs. larger, noisier environments, for example — and provide technology recommendations based on those factors.
It’s our priority that you hear and feel the value of our service. We want you to be satisfied with your hearing aids and our care, so that you can experience an improved quality of life. With the right level of partnership and through our exceptional care and pursuit of excellence, we feel confident we can successfully help you successfully manage your hearing loss.
