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.
