FAQs

How Common is Hearing Loss?

Hearing loss is more common than most people realize. Much like your vision, hearing can decline with age. In fact, 1 in 3 people, aged 65 and up suffer from some form of hearing loss. Symptoms can include:

  • Ringing in your ears
  • Asking others to repeat themselves
  • Memory loss
  • Distinguishing background noise
  • Frequently adjusting the TV volume
  • Thinking others are mumbling in normal conversations

Does my Insurance cover hearing aids?

Some health insurance plans cover select hearing aid options, but have a maximum allowed coverage. Medicare does not cover hearing aids. We offer an affordable range of hearing aids and are competitively priced in our community. Our hearing center also provides patient financing for hearing aids, including no-interest payment plans.

What if a loved one has hearing loss but won't admit it?

Hearing loss can be hard for individuals to identify or recognize, as hearing loss doesn't normally affect all sounds the same way. Most hearing loss affect consonant sounds. In these cases, patients will hear noise and part of a conversation, but have difficulty with clarity of speech, especially in background noise.
