Common Questions
How do I know if I need to come in for a hearing evaluation?
Talk to those who are around you the most and ask them if they think you are hearing well. Your significant other and close family and friends are normally the first to be encouraging of getting your hearing checked out.
The truth is you may not know what you are missing because you don’t hear perfectly, but it’ll be a mystery until you come see us!
"I’m too young to need a hearing evaluation!"
Aging and hearing loss starts at age 30, but many people experience hearing loss after one loud noisy experience that could happen at any age. Certain decibel levels over an extended period of time can cause hearing loss. To be the healthiest you can be schedule a complimentary visit.
"I don't want a hearing aid (device) - they're big, bulky and everyone can see it"
Nowadays devices are so small that people do not notice them. We offer a variety of styles to accommodate any cosmetic concerns.
