Hearing loss is normal for my age, right? You are not alone – it’s okay to get help
Most people with hearing loss are under the age of 65. For some, those changes start as early as adolescence. Years of listening to loud music or operating noisy equipment without protection, common health conditions (high blood pressure, diabetes) and genetics can all impact the ability to hear.
We believe hearing should be monitored throughout the lifespan. Once a hearing baseline is determined, hearing can be effectively monitored, preventive measures can be implemented, and treatment can be prescribed sooner than later to improve outcomes. Early detection and treatment of hearing loss helps you maintain the hearing that you have left and your active lifestyle. That is why we are committed to education and celebration no matter where you are on your hearing journey because we all start somewhere.
Have you ever wondered why hearing aids cost so much?
Because hearing affects everything between your ears, we want you to maintain your connections while also maintaining a healthy brain. As hearing aids get smarter, the technology continues to evolve to mimic the natural hearing pathway and stimulate those connections from your ears to your brain. Pricing varies depending upon circuit technology (i.e., how smart your hearing aids are) and battery type as well as the training of your healthcare provider, communication assessment, fitting, orientation and counseling, training, aural rehabilitation and scheduled in-person, walk-in and/or telehealth follow-up care. Our patients continue to prefer a comprehensive approach to their hearing healthcare; and therefore, our office offers an affordable, bundled model to deliver hearing devices and audiological services to meet their everyday listening needs.
Our current prices range from $875-$3000 which includes a bundled service plan because learning to hear better is a team effort so of course our Audiologists are with you every step of the way offering the support needed on your journey.
