If all you want to hear is 1 on 1 conversati­on with your spouse and the TV, budget hearing devices will suit you just ¿ne.”

The advanced technology of today’s hearing devices means you have more features and benefits to choose from, which can also make a device more expensive. However, as Dr. Richards alluded to, more is not necessaril­y better.

If you are very active, live in a variety of noisy environmen­ts, then you will probably want advanced features such as wireless compatibil­ity, binaural directiona­lity, and automatic adjustment­s. If you live a quiet life, then a more economical hearing device might be perfect for you. No matter which technology you choose, it is imperative that your hearing aids continue to be adjusted based on your own experience­s and complaints. Dr. Richards reminds us that every patient is “completely unique” regardless of your hearing test results.

Wolfpack Hearing Clinic has been interestin­g to watch since opening its doors from scratch in 2016. The young staff appears to have the recipe for success, as the clinic continues to be the local darling, with an extremely loyal following from their patients rarely seen in the medical community.

Wolfpack is located in Fayettevil­le in the Kantz Center plaza, at the intersecti­on of Crossover and Mission. For more informatio­n or to book a consultati­on with Dr. Richards, visit wolfpackhe­aring.
