Hearing Aid FAQs

If you’re experiencing difficulties in hearing conversations, particularly in noisy environments, or find yourself frequently asking others to repeat themselves, it might be time to consult an audiologist for a hearing assessment. Early signs of hearing loss include trouble hearing high-pitched sounds or understanding speech on the phone.

Coverage for hearing aids varies widely depending on the insurance provider and the specific policy. Some insurance plans cover part or all of the cost of hearing aids, while others do not offer any coverage. It’s important to check with your insurance provider to understand what is covered under your policy.
Typically, hearing aids last between 5 to 7 years. However, longevity can vary based on the type of hearing aid, how well they are maintained, and how often they are used. Regular cleaning and proper maintenance can help extend their lifespan.

Yes, hearing aids can and often need to be adjusted after their initial fitting. Your hearing might change, or you might find certain environments challenging, which will necessitate adjustments. Most audiologists will schedule follow-up visits to fine-tune the settings and ensure the best possible performance and comfort.

There are several types of hearing aids including behind-the-ear (BTE), in-the-ear (ITE), in-the-canal (ITC), completely-in-canal (CIC), and receiver-in-canal (RIC). The choice depends on the severity of hearing loss, aesthetic preferences, lifestyle needs, and manual dexterity.
