Do I Need Hearing Aids?
“Do I need hearing aids?” is a question that many people are afraid to ask. Often you are surrounded by family, friends, or coworkers who notice your hearing loss much more quickly, but it takes much longer to be sure for yourself. It can be hard for you to be subjective about how well you actually hear. The perception that one hears well is often the root of denial. So how do you know if hearing aids may be right for you?
Here’s a good place to start.
Please take the following quiz:
- Have family members or friends told you that you have hearing loss?
- Do people you speak to seem to mumble or not speak clearly?
- Do you have difficulty understanding the speech of women and children?
- Do you have trouble hearing conversations in places where there is background noise, such as in a restaurant or crowded room?
- Do you have difficulty hearing over the phone?
- Do you often have to ask people to repeat themselves?
- Do people mention that you play the T.V. too loud?
- Do you ever get confused about where sounds come from?
- Do you ever find yourself guessing what a person is saying to you?
Did you answer yes to two or more questions?
If so, it would be a good idea to come in for a free hearing consultation to determine if you need a hearing test. The quiz cannot determine if you have hearing loss or how much, but it will suggest if our audiologist should look a little closer at your hearing.

Hearing Aid Evaluation
Your hearing care provider may have you fill out a questionnaire to assist during the evaluation process since some hobbies and occupations may benefit from different hearing aid styles or features. The final decision on which hearing aids are purchased is your choice, but your hearing care professional will make recommendations on the best options for your particular needs.
Hearing Aid Fitting
You may also be given a short survey or list of questions to answer. Be honest about what you hear so that the hearing professional can work with you to create the best listening experience with your new hearing aids. Your hearing aid fitting is only a starting place; other changes to customize the hearing to your liking may need to take place over a few appointments.

How Are Hearing Aids Today Different?
A hearing aid is a small electronic device that you wear in or behind your ear. It makes some sounds louder so that a person with hearing loss can listen, communicate, and participate more fully in daily activities. There are three basic parts to a hearing aid: a microphone, amplifier, and speaker. The basics haven’t changed for decades.
What has changed significantly is how a hearing aid manipulates the sound as it enters the hearing aid and eventually sends the signal into your ear canal. These advances include:
- Automatic volume adjustments
- Automatic adaptation to background noise
- Built in FM, Infrared, Bluetooth, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology
- Water-resistant technology
- Hearing aids look better than ever before coming in a variety of shapes, colors and styles
Advanced Technology
BLUETOOTH TECHNOLOGY
Bluetooth technology is a recent advance in hearing aids. It is a way to send digital information wirelessly over short distances. Bluetooth technology works to allow two hearing aids to communicate wirelessly with each other and also allows the user to connect to devices in their home and car, like a computer, GPS, and cell phone.
RECHARGEABLE HEARING AIDS
Many of the devices we use every day can be powered by one or two types of batteries, rechargeable batteries or disposable batteries. Hearing aids are no different. Rechargeable hearing aids are becoming more popular every year.
