Audiologists are university-trained healthcare professionals and the only experts specifically licensed to identify, evaluate, diagnose and treat hearing disorders. Our training provides us with an understanding of hearing loss and how it relates to hearing aids, noise exposure, tinnitus, drugs that are toxic to the ears, auditory processing and aging. This knowledge makes us the ideal professionals to customize hearing aids to your specific environments and provide appropriate advice regarding your individual challenge. We always take the time to explain your audiogram and its impact on our communication, and then offer realistic treatment options.

Hearing Aids

  • Our aids wirelessly stream to your smart phone, allowing you to hear phone conversations as well as music, audio books, podcasts and all other forms of audio media directly through your hearing aids.
  •  The free Smart 3D App allows you to make adjustments to sound quality, customize favorite programs, locate the aids if they are misplaced and request remote programming changes which can then be downloaded into your hearing aids via the app.
  • Bluetooth accessories such as TV streamers and accessory microphones are available with all models to enhance speech understanding in the car, at restaurants and during meetings.
  • Tinnitus features allow you to mask the noise in your ears and “retrain your brain” to ignore your tinnitus while providing amplification for your hearing loss

Try Before You Buy

 

What if hearing aids enabled you to understand your family, friends and co-workers in your listening environments?

What if hearing conversations became more automatic, requiring less effort and resulting in less fatigue and stress?

What if you had the opportunity to determine these things before you buy the hearing aids?

Well you can…with no cost to try and absolutely no obligation to purchase.

We program the latest technology and you “test drive” the aids for one week in your home, work and social environments.

And remember…after your purchase, you still have a 30-day money-back guarantee!
