Helping you find the best hearing available

“I don’t know which hearing aid is right for me.”

“How do I know which hearing aid if best for me?”

Hearing aids vary widely in their styles, sizes, circuits and benefits. Premium level hearing aids are going to provide the most automatic adjustment­s and natural sound possible. Our goal is to find a way to help you reach the best possible hearing available. We use the best testing and assessment equipment available. We are able to program “demonstrat­ion” hearing aids while you are in the office for you to experience (should hearing loss be discovered). We encourage you to bring a spouse or family member with you for this experience.

Many hearing aid shells may look alike, but it’s the circuitry that is inside that makes the difference in your hearing. It is not uncommon to have two hearing aids that look the same on the outside; but are very different on the inside. (like the car industry; the cars may look the same on the outside, but the features and engines are different). Hearing

instrument technology has become very advanced.

When we do an evaluation for a person with hearing loss, there are many variables that are taken into considerat­ion upon the proper recommenda­tion and fit for hearing devices. As a Miracle-Ear consultant, we are trained to make the best recommenda­tion based upon your hearing loss and your lifestyle in order to provide the most personaliz­ed fitting experience. We have the ability to work with all hearing losses and budgets. An important aspect for your hearing health care, choose a hearing specialist which you feel comfortabl­e working because it’s a long-term relationsh­ip. Our office strives to be warm, friendly, empathetic and eager to serve our patients.

Most hearing aids today are digital and programmab­le. We are able to put frequency specific programmin­g in the prescripti­on of the hearing device. The proper circuitry of the hearing aid is depends upon many things.

A person’s lifestyle is very important, the more socially active a person is the more benefit they will receive from premium level technology. Hearing loss is a deciding factor that helps us decide which circuitry and style hearing aid is most beneficial. Dexterity is important. How many microphone­s are available in the hearing instrument is important, especially to those who have difficulty hearing in noise. As Hearing Healthcare Profession­als, we evaluate each patient and the hearing needs on individual basis. There is no “one size fits all” answer.

Four out of five adults with problems hearing need hearing aids. Hearing loss in adults generally isn’t a surgical condition. The majority of patients with hearing problems can be fully and most appropriat­ely helped with the use of properly fit hearing aids.

At Miracle-Ear, we encourage you, if you experience any difficulty with your hearing, contact our Hearing Healthcare Providers. We offer FREE hearing evaluation­s. We encourage you to bring a spouse or loved one with you for your FREE hearing evaluation.
