Hearing FAQs
Will people notice my hearing aids?
It’s a common misconception that hearing aids are big bulky devices that everyone can see. In fact, hearing aids are now sleek, small, and comfortable. Because of their discreet design, people hardly ever notice someone is wearing them. There are even invisible models of hearing aids that sit inside the ear canal. Our hearing specialists will go over your options to help you decide which device is best.
Can’t I just buy hearing aids from a chain store?

Why do I hear a ringing in my ears?
Ringing, buzzing, humming, or whistling sounds in the ears is a phenomenon called tinnitus. Tinnitus is when you hear a sound in your ears or head that is not externally present. For many people, tinnitus goes away on its own, but for some it can be persistent. We offer tinnitus masking hearing aids which can play soothing sounds in the ears, helping to distract the brain from bothersome tinnitus. While hearing aids won’t stop ringing in the ears completely, they can greatly help.
How much do hearing aids cost?
