Hearing aid information and resources about hearing aids and hearing aid care.

 Do you want a life changing experience? 

Well if you have a hearing loss get a hearing aid that can do a good job for your hearing loss and look out.  You and those close to you won’t believe it.

My grandfather who was in his late seventies was one of the first people I fit hearing aids on.  I have fit my father, mother and sister with hearing aids.  I wear hearing aids myself.  I am speaking from my experience with my family and helping thousands of patients.

“I got my life back.” I’ve been told this more times than I can count.

Don’t be skeptical!  Advanced digital hearing aids can provide amazing natural hearing that you will really want to put on every morning. 

A Hearing Loss has inevitable consequences that most won’t be able to escape. 

Ask any one who has a hearing loss and they will tell you “no” it hasn’t changed them at all. Ask anyone who is close to a person with a hearing loss and they will tell you about enormous changes in behavior and attitude that has deeply changed who they use to be.

This is how it all starts.

Imagine you’re at work, with friends or especially with someone you’re close to.  You were having a conversation and you misunderstood what was being said because you didn’t hear a key word correct or you just filled in the part you didn’t get.  Come to find out what you thought you heard was completely off the wall. 

To me my family is what life is all about.

I recently returned home because of a death in the family, and I experienced first hand what patients have told me for years.  If someone in your family has a hearing loss and doesn’t get help for their hearing, life in any home can be challenging and unfortunately filled with resentment and hurt feelings.

My Mom is 80 and my father is 85, they lead very active and independent lives.  I believe one of the reasons they act like people in their 60’s is they both wear hearing aids.

When I arrived home I noticed my Mom was not responding to what I was saying in the way I expected.  After a couple of hours I asked her if she was wearing her hearing aids?

With your help it is possible.

It’s difficult to express in words what this would mean to millions of Americans who needlessly suffer from one of the most social disabling disorders of our time. Hearing is what keeps us in touch with everyone and everything we are around.

How do these things work? Technology in general can be difficult for some mature adults to grasp, and when it comes to hearing aids, even the most savvy person sometimes does’t understand the mechanics behind the device that helps them hear.

All hearing aids have the same basic mechanics, parts, and functions. Styles, colors, sizes and features vary, but the general concept is the same.

Since time immemorial, people have referred to the eyes as “windows to the soul”, yet blind and deaf Helen Keller said “Hearing is the deepest, most philosophical sense man possesses.” For centuries, sight impaired people have worn glasses without being labeled “mentally defective.” Meanwhile, hearing impaired people have suffered enormous prejudice. Labeled as “old”, “stupid”, “mentally ill”, or “selective listeners”, many hearing impaired people live in denial, or refuse to wear hearing aids for hearing loss treatment because they are afraid of being branded.

For decades, quality eye glasses and contact lenses have been purchased for around 100 dollars but until recently, hearing aids were so expensive that only the wealthy could afford high quality corrective instruments.  Year upon year, eye glasses are fashionably designed in various shapes and colors to enhance physically attractiveness. Conversely, hearing aids are designed to be “discreet”, and manufactured in skin tones because they are deemed unsightly.
