HOW DO HEARING AIDS HELP ?

1. Most types of hearing loss are classified as sensorineural hearing loss (where the nerve cells of hearing have become damaged due to disease), exposure to loud noise or aging. The bad news is that hearing loss of this kind cannot be naturally recovered, but the good news is that you can make better use of the hearing you still have with the right hearing aids.

2. Hearing aids send an amplified signal to your ear; your surviving hair cells then detect the signal and send the amplified sound to your brain. Your brain then perceives the sound as being louder–resulting in enhanced, effortless hearing.

3. The best way to see if hearing aids will help you is to talk to us and demo a pair for free.

Even if you know exactly which hearing aid you need, the key to making it work is in fitting and programming it, something only a trained hearing expert can do.

2. Making a purchase without having your hearing tested is a big mistake and you’ll likely end up with a hearing aid that won’t work for you. The smart move is to seek the help of a licensed audiologist or hearing instrument specialist. Our professionals are highly trained in testing hearing and fitting hearing aids.

The lifespan of a battery depends on many factors but generally they will last about 15-17 days. Battery life can also depend on the model of your hearing aid, the level of hearing loss and the demands placed on the hearing aids based on the location where you use them, for example, a very demanding and active listening environment would require more battery drain that a quiet less demanding environment.

WHY BATTERIES  DON’T LAST LONG?

Hearing devices require more power to perform many complex functions, amplifying sound correctly especially to fulfill your needs in varying listening environments. Unlike a watch battery that requires only enough power to make it tick.

WHICH IS THE PROPER PLACE TO STORE HEARING AID BATTERIES?

The best place we can recommend you for storing your hearing aid at night is in a bedside table drawer. You will be able to find them in the morning easily. You might also want to keep the spare batteries with you in your hearing aid carrying case. It is not recommended to keep the batteries in the refrigerator. The processes of condensation and moisture can harm them. Also, do avoid extreme temperatures. Room temperature is perfect.
