At Huron Valley Hearing, we offer comprehensive hearing aid services designed to support you at every stage of your hearing care journey. Whether you are just starting to explore hearing aids or are a long-time user in need of fine-tuning, our hearing specialists provide personalized care, advanced solutions, and ongoing education to help you achieve your best hearing.
Hearing Aid Evaluations and Selection
The first step in your journey is a thorough hearing evaluation. Our hearing instrument specialists gather your medical and hearing history, discuss any challenges you’re experiencing, and use advanced testing in a sound-treated booth to determine the type and severity of your hearing loss. The results guide us in making recommendations tailored to your specific needs, lifestyle, and budget.
If hearing aids are appropriate, we’ll walk you through different styles and technologies, from discreet in-the-ear models to powerful behind-the-ear devices. You’ll be able to see, touch, and even try on selected hearing aids. We’ll explain key features – such as Bluetooth connectivity, automatic sound adjustments, and options for tinnitus relief – so you can make a confident and informed choice.
Fitting and Dispensing Hearing Aids
Once you’ve selected your hearing aids, we order and program them to match your unique hearing profile. At your fitting appointment, our hearing specialists show you how to insert and remove your devices, change or recharge batteries, and clean and care for them. We encourage you to bring a family member or friend for support and to help remember important information.
We ensure your hearing aids are comfortable and fine-tuned for clarity and pleasant sound. You may notice new or different sounds at first. This is normal. Our team will make initial adjustments and provide written instructions to help you get started.
Adjustment and Follow-Up
Adapting to new hearing aids takes time and patience. We schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress and make further adjustments for the best sound experience. Your honest feedback, along with support from your family, helps us personalize your settings. A positive outlook is key, as studies show that those who persist and partner with their hearing specialists achieve the best results.
Latest Hearing Aid Technology
Today’s hearing aids are more advanced and smaller than ever before. Key improvements include:
- Automatic adaptation to different listening environments without manual adjustments
- Open-fit designs for comfortable, natural sound without a “plugged up” feeling
- Tinnitus sound therapy built into many models for relief from ringing in the ears
- Bluetooth streaming for calls, music, and TV directly to your hearing aids
- Frequency compression for improved understanding, even with high-frequency hearing loss
These features make it easier to hear conversations in noisy places, enjoy media, and stay connected with the world around you.
Hearing Aid Repair and Maintenance
Even with advanced technology, hearing aids require routine care. If you notice issues, such as weak sound or no sound, we recommend simple troubleshooting: replace the battery, clean the speakers and microphones, and change the wax filter if needed. If problems persist, our office offers fast, expert repairs and thorough maintenance services.
We also show you effective care techniques to help extend the life of your hearing aids and keep them working at their best.
