Frequently Asked Questions

Hearing alone does not mean that a spoken message was understood. The ability to understand an auditory signal depends on the brain’s ability to receive and interpret the message.

  • Let’s be honest, hearing aids are expensive. Also, most people with hearing loss will need two hearing aids. This high price can often be a barrier that prevents people from seeking necessary hearing healthcare. However, hearing aids need to be viewed as a valuable investment and long-term solution, rather than a costly purchase. These devices are worn during all waking hours, seven days a week.
  • A study by the Better Hearing Institute studied 40,000 households and found that untreated hearing loss reduced household income by an average of $12,000 per year, with as much as $30,000 a year. In the same study, they found hearing aids can reduce this effect by 50%, which makes hearing aids a valuable investment!
  • Studies have also linked untreated hearing loss to other health conditions and increased risk of falling. Overall, untreated hearing loss results in higher healthcare costs.
  1. A hearing evaluation includes a thorough case history of your hearing difficulties and a hearing test battery to assess all parts of the peripheral hearing system (outer, middle, and inner ear). Your hearing test results will be plotted on an audiogram, which is a graph of your hearing thresholds across a range of pitches. Your hearing thresholds provide your “hearing prescription”, meaning the hearing aids will be fit to your personal hearing test.
  2. During the hearing aid evaluation, the audiologist will review different hearing aid styles and hearing aid manufacturers. Most importantly, the audiologist will counsel you on realistic expectations of wearing hearing aids. Together with the audiologist, you will decide if you are a hearing aid candidate based on your reported hearing difficulties and type/degree of hearing loss. At this time, your hearing aids will be chosen.
  • Hearing aids cannot restore your hearing back to normal or “cure” your hearing loss. Additionally, they cannot stop the progression of hearing loss. However, there are many things that a hearing aid can do:
    • Hearing aids make soft sounds audible, normal conversation comfortable, and loud sounds loud but not uncomfortable.
    • Depending on the degree of hearing loss, hearing aids improve the ability to understand speech/conversations and to localize sounds in your environment.
  • Hearing aids can improve the ability to understand speech and conversations in noise.
  • Hearing aids can improve your overall quality of life.
  • It is important to recognize the amount of benefit derived from hearing aids will vary from person to person. The benefit will also depend on the amount of motivation you have to improve your hearing healthcare.

An audiologist is a healthcare professional that assesses, treats, and rehabilitates hearing, tinnitus, and balance disorders.

Two ears are always better than one. Wearing hearing aids on both ears decreases listening fatigue, improves the ability to localize sounds, and improves ability to understand speech in background noise.
