There are several factors that keep people from pursuing help for their hearing loss. Hearing aid manufacturers understand this and have worked hard to address your concerns. So what has changed?

You said: "Hearing aids will make me look old."

They say: The design of today's hearing aids are sleek, modern and high-tech. Designed not only to look good but sound great. Many fit discreetly over the ear with a thin, nearly invisible tube directing the sound into the ear canal. If you prefer the type that fits into the ear, the small canal style has been revved up to fit even severe hearing losses.

You said: "Hearing aids are uncomfortable."

They say: Hearing aids are either custom fit for your ear canal using the latest laser technology for a more precise fit with optimized venting for maximum comfort or they use an 'open-fit' with hearing aids that sit over the ear using a small, comfortable dome in the ear canal. So comfortable, people often forget they are wearing them.

You said: "Hearing aids squeal too much."

They say: Using advanced feedback technology, squealing has been virtually eliminated. No more sponataneous whistling. And most even allow you to use the phone or hug someone closely without the risk of feedback.

You said: "Hearing aids are too complicated."

They say: Automatic features allow the user to simply put their hearing aids in and go. No need for volume controls or push buttons, though these are still available for users who prefer control options.  

You said: "Hearing aids are too expensive."

We say: Hearing aid prices reflect the level of technology. The more advanced the hearing aid, the more they cost. However, many advancements have been made with high tech features being used in less expensive hearing aids, making technology more affordable for more people. We see hearing aids as an investment in a better quality of life. To make this easier, we work with you to find hearing aids that will best meet your needs within your budget. We work with manufacturer's that provide extensive 2 to 3 year warranties at no additional cost and give you batteries free for 3 years. We also offer financing options that include 12-month interest free plans. Plus our hearing aids come with a priceless and rare commodity...good old-fashioned customer service!

The Oticon Dual is just one example of an 'open-fit' hearing aid. New hearing aid wearers especially like the comfort and ease of use. 

The placement and small size makes it virtually invisible. Family and friends may not notice your hearing aid, but they will notice and appreciate your improved hearing!   

When hearing aids alone are not enough, wireless connectivity enables the listener to hear the TV or phone directly into their hearing aids. They can also connect to iPod, MP3 players, and computers.
