WHAT TO CHOOSE?

We know it can be very confusing when it comes time to decide which hearing aid to purchase.  Perhaps you've seen advertising for one type; your best friend swears by the kind he has; you've always wanted to try yet another style; then you went and had your hearing tested and the person tried to sell you something that cost two or three times the price of your first new car....on top of that, there's all this new technology...

You want the best help possible for your hearing problems within a budget you can afford. Help for your hearing loss needs to be your first concern.....visibility and cosmetics second. We provide hearing aids for virtually all degrees and types of hearing loss produced by almost all the world's largest manufacturers. In almost every case there will be a choice between many different hearing instruments appropriate for a person. To help guide you, check out the audiogram chart below for some suggestions.

The above audiogram represents the hearing of an individual with normal hearing in the low frequencies (pitch) sloping to a severe high frequency hearing loss in the left ear and a moderate to severe hearing loss in the right ear.

The blue Xs indicate the thresholds for the left ear and the red Os indicate the thresholds for the right ear
The softest sound you are able to hear at each pitch is recorded on the audiogram. The softest sound you are able to hear is called your threshold. Thresholds of 0-25 dB are considered normal (for adults). The audiogram above demonstrates the different degrees of hearing loss.
