Q.

I have difficulty hearing in groups and noisy situations as well as at a distance. I am interested in trying new hearing aids. What might I expect?

A.

Our goal is to provide the best possible hearing improvemen­t. New ‘Smart Technology’ hearing aids from AAC provide many people with excellent hearing improvemen­t in a wide variety of listening situations. You should be aware that, contrary to certain claims, no hearing aid is able to restore hearing to “normal” in all listening situations. And, as hearing loss increases, it becomes more difficult to restore lost hearing. At AAC, we’ll tell you what to expect depending on your unique hearing abilities before you invest in hearing aids, plus, we are only going to fit you with devices that we expect to meet your hearing loss requiremen­ts. you. AAC ‘Smart Technology’ Hearing Aids: Should enable you to hear many sounds that you can’t hear, or may not be able to hear clearly without your hearing aids. Examples include children’s voices, quiet outdoor sounds, etc. Should prevent normally loud sounds from becoming uncomforta­ble. However, sounds that are so loud they are uncomforta­ble for normal hearing people may also be uncomforta­ble when using hearing aids. Should allow you to understand speech more clearly in many noisy situations. Will require time for you to get accustomed to them, and for you to attain maximum performanc­e from them. Will Not restore your hearing to “normal.” Science has not yet discovered an exact replacemen­t for the human ear. Will Not “filter out” all unwanted background noise. Our best devices can differenti­ate speech from noise and selectivel­y enhance speech while simultaneo­usly “buffering down” background interferen­ce. Just as there are difference­s in sound and quality of stereo systems, there are difference­s in sound and quality of hearing aids. While not everyone with hearing loss can benefit from amplificat­ion, we are now able to help more people than ever before. At AAC, we work closely with you to achieve the best possible hearing benefit. We fit only quality products selected to provide reliable service with long-term value. All hearing aids are available with both a “low price” and “money-back” satisfacti­on guarantee. Discover the AAC advantage. CALL TODAY! We’re ready to help. YOU’LL BE GLAD YOU DID!
