What happens during a hearing evaluation?
We test different aspects of your hearing—including speech understanding and loudness levels—and use the results to create a custom treatment plan.
Can you help if I already have hearing aids?
Yes! We offer complimentary cleanings, reprogramming, and software updates for new patients with existing devices.
Do you offer virtual appointments?
Yes. We provide telehealth consultations and remote hearing aid programming for added convenience.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, we work with most major insurance providers. Contact us to verify your coverage and learn about our financing options.
How do I know if it’s time to schedule a hearing test?
You should consider a hearing evaluation if you frequently ask others to repeat themselves, struggle to follow conversations in noisy environments like restaurants, or find yourself turning up the television volume higher than others prefer. Additionally, if you experience a ringing sensation in your ears or have a family history of hearing loss, we highly recommend scheduling a baseline diagnostic evaluation with our specialists.
Is there a trial or adjustment period for new hearing aids?
Yes! We understand that adjusting to new hearing devices takes time and patience. That is why we provide an adjustment period for all new hearing aid fittings. This allows you to experience your new devices in your everyday environments—from your living room to your workplace. If they aren’t the perfect fit, we will work closely with you to make necessary programming adjustments or explore alternative styles.
What exactly is included in the cost of a new hearing aid?
Our goal is to provide transparent, comprehensive care. When you purchase hearing aids through United Hearing Centers, the cost typically covers the advanced digital devices themselves, your initial fitting, and customized programming. It also includes our ongoing support, such as routine professional cleanings, device software updates, and follow-up adjustments to ensure your hearing aids continue to meet your evolving lifestyle needs.
Do you offer solutions for tinnitus (ringing in the ears)?
Absolutely. Tinnitus is very closely linked to hearing loss, and many modern hearing aids come equipped with advanced tinnitus-masking features. During your diagnostic evaluation, our team will assess the severity of your symptoms and can program your devices to play soothing, customized sounds that help distract your brain from the ringing, providing you with much-needed daily relief.
How long do hearing devices typically last before needing replacement?
With proper daily maintenance and regular professional cleanings at our clinics, most modern hearing aids have a lifespan of about three to seven years. The exact longevity depends on the specific style of the device, how well it is maintained at home, and everyday wear and tear. We are always here to help extend the life of your devices through our expert maintenance and repair services!
