A customized hearing loss solution will give you superior hearing and satisfaction. Before discussing hearing aid technology, our comprehensive hearing evaluations must first accurately assess your ability to hear and understand speech.
With compassion, we invest all the time necessary to learn about your medical history, hearing status and quality of life concerns. Each of our thorough diagnostic evaluations is performed in a carefully calibrated sound booth by our skilled audiologists.
To provide you the highest quality care, you can expect us to:
Conduct speech testing – to assess your word understanding
Complete a thorough medical case history
Administer tympanometry, acoustic reflex testing and otoacoustic emissions testing as needed
Examine your ears (otoscopy) to ensure clear canals and healthy ear drums.
Conduct pure tone testing (air and bone) – to determine the softest sounds you can detect
Review detailed results and answer all your important questions
Discuss personalized recommendations and next healthy steps on your pathway to better hearing. See our hearing aid pricing here.
As medically necessary and with whole person care essential, we will refer you to another specialist (ex: ENT, Neurologist) if needed
New Hearing Aids
New Hearing Aid Models
Despite the great advances in hearing aid technology that have emerged in recent years, hearing aids do not come out of the box ready for use. Hearing aids need to be programmed and verified for patients to hear their best. Even top-of-the-line hearing aids can be rendered useless if best practice standards are not used.
Each type performs somewhat differently, with a range of applications and customization options to help improve hearing impairment. All hearing aids must be carefully fitted to the individual’s ear and programmed to optimal settings.
With a growing number of hearing aid sizes, styles and features to choose from we become an essential resource, connecting you with the best hearing aid design and technology for your hearing goals.
Here’s a sampling of some of the technology available to you:
Bluetooth Hearing Aids
Bluetooth hearing aids allow you to stream audio from any Bluetooth devices, including smartphones. You can stream phone conversations, music, television, and more for a personalized listening experience.
CIC Hearing Aids
Nano hearing aids have become extremely popular due to their tiny size. They fit comfortably inside the ear canal (CIC = completely-in-canal) and are more discreet than standard hearing aids.
Proven Research-Based Methods Make the Difference!
Real Ear Verification
Using a sophisticated microphone measure called Real Ear Verification, our audiologists at Audiology & Hearing Services of Charlotte can obtain sound recordings from inside your ear canal! With this clinically prescribed way, our audiologist can now “see” exactly what you hear.
With this unique perspective, we then adjust the hearing aid programming to ensure that speech is most audible and comfortable. This is the gold standard for hearing aid fitting. Real Ear Verification results in hearing aids that are safe and effective.
Assistive Listening Devices
Individuals with hearing loss can also benefit from specialized products that make phone calls, watching television, enjoying live performances and communicating with others so much easier. Options include:
Amplified telephones
Flashing and vibrating alerting devices
