 Patients
suffering from sensorineural hearing loss (nerve damage to the inner
ear) are often candidates for a hearing aid. A hearing aid is an
electronic device with a small microphone that amplifies weak sounds
through a small speaker. Hearing aids come in a variety of styles,
sizes and colors. And because hearing loss affects people in different
ways, you need to get the right device for you.
In most cases, a programmable digital hearing aid will be recommended.
The audiologist fits and programs the hearing aid with a computer
and then adjusts the sound quality and response time on an individual
basis. Digital hearing aids can be finely programmed to compensate
for a patient’s hearing loss at different decibel levels,
allowing the patient to adjust the hearing aid based on their immediate
environment. They use a microphone, receiver, battery, and computer
chip to provide the most flexibility for the audiologist to make
adjustments to the hearing aid.
In addition to dispensing a complete line of programmable and digital
hearing aids for our patients, The Hearing Center provides complete
service and repair. Based on the hearing device chosen, the range
of services may include:
- 60-day trial on all new hearing aids
- One and/or two year warranty on repairs
- One and/or two year warranty for loss and damage
- Quarterly cleanings and adjustments
- Annual audiometric screenings (during warranty period)
- Annual hearing instrument evaluation
