Hearing Aids

Hearing loss can be detrimental to communicating with friends and family on a day-to-day basis.

With today’s technology and innovations, there are many digital hearing aid options to help you regain your hearing and quickly get back to living a normal life.

Read on to discover more about hearing aids and if they’re right for you.

What is a Hearing Aid?

Hearing aids are small electronic devices to address different types of hearing loss. Digital hearing aids contain a microphone to pick up sound, a computer chip to amplify and process sound, and a speaker that sends the signal to your ear.

At Sierra Nevada Hearing Center, we offer a wide selection of digital hearing aids. We will work with you to find the best solution for your hearing care needs within your budget. Learn more about today’s hearing aids from Dr. Heather L. Dean.

Why Schedule a Hearing Aid Consultation

Selecting and understanding which hearing aid is right for you can be a challenge. Most patients come in wanting the smallest hearing aid available, although a small hearing aid may not be the best choice for their individual hearing loss. Many factors determine the style of hearing aid we might recommend, including the amount of hearing loss, the shape and size of your ears, listening needs, dexterity and potential health concerns. When it comes to hearing aids, there are multiple features and styles available to suit different hearing needs. It’s important to consider several things when selecting the right style to meet your needs.

We do not attempt to persuade our patients to purchase a particular size of hearing aid, but we do want you to make an informed and educated decision. That’s why we recommend scheduling a hearing aid consultation at one of our three locations to determine if hearing aids are right for you.
