Types of hearing aids
There is an incredible range of options across the hearing aid market, but we first categorize them as prescription or over-the-counter. There are in-the-ear and behind-the-ear options in both categories.
Prescription hearing aids are fit by your audiologist after thorough evaluation of your hearing and communication needs. Prescription hearing aids are evaluated through electroacoustic analysis and the fitting is verified by real ear measures. OTC devices are intended to be self-guided purchases, where the patient does not have professional fitting help. All have their own merits merits and we’ll work with you to sort through the many possibilities within these larger categories to find the style and model that work for you.

Rechargeable Hearing Aids
Make way for a more sustainable and budget-friendly way to power your hearing aids. Advancements have made rechargeable hearing aids more convenient than ever before, substantially lengthening the battery life per charge.
There are many options for rechargeable devices. We are so glad to offer these to our clients in search of the hearing aid that not only eliminates the nuisance of changing batteries, but the repeated cost of purchasing disposable batteries time and time again. An array of portable charging accessories mean you’ll never be caught without full sound. Moreover, it’s one less thing to worry about! Rather than monitoring replacement batteries, rechargeable hearing aid wearers simply charge their batteries overnight and wake up refreshed and fully charged.
