Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my hearing tested?
Hearing tests are important for all ages. Most schools will administer a hearing test for children. However, adults should have baseline hearing tests by the age of 50, then every 3 years until age 60. For adults of age 60 or older you should have your hearing tested annually. If you have risk factors like noise exposure or family history of hearing loss, more frequent testing may be recommended.
What happens during a hearing test?
A comprehensive hearing evaluation includes medical history review, visual examination of ears, pure tone audiometry, speech testing, and discussion of results and recommendations.
How long does a hearing test take?
A complete hearing evaluation typically takes 45-60 minutes, including consultation time with the audiologist to discuss your results and options.
Is There A Cure For Tinnitus?
While there is currently no universal cure for tinnitus, there are many effective treatments that can significantly reduce symptoms. Treatment for tinnitus depends on the underlying cause and individual factors.
How much do hearing aids cost?
Because hearing aid prices vary based on their technology level and features, we offer financing options and accept many insurance plans. Typically hearing aids rang from $1,200 – $4,00 per device
Will my insurance cover hearing aids?
Hearing Aid coverage depends on the insurance plan. Many private insurance plans offer some hearing aid benefits. Some insurances like Medicare will cover the cost of hearing tests but will not cover hearing aids. Before your treatment, we will verify your benefits.
How long do hearing aids last?
Hearing aids usually last around 5-7 years. To ensure the lifespan of your hearing aids, it’s important to keep up with proper care and maintenance. This includes regular cleaning, professional maintenance, and protecting them from moisture.
What Causes Tinnitus?
There are many possible causes of tinnitus including hearing loss, noise exposure, medications, earwax buildup, medical conditions, and stress. Completing a tinnitus evaluation helps identify the underlying cause.
