My optometrist says I have 20/20 vision. Is there such a thing for hearing?
“Normal hearing” is actually a range of sensitivity to sound rather than a single number.

Hearing aids are not one size fits all. They are very specifically programmed based on your hearing levels. Our goal is to make speech sounds clearer, not necessarily louder.
There are many causes for tinnitus. While there is no cure, treatment options are available. Discuss your overall health and lifestyle with your Audiologist or Ear Nose and Throat physician.
Many hearing aids have the capability to receive the sound directly from a television transmitter wirelessly, so you can understand more clearly.
Every day, wipe your hearing aids with a dry cloth or tissue, brush the openings with a small cleaning brush and replace the wax guards and domes on a regular basis.
There are many options for learning sign language, both in the classroom and online. We suggest you invite a family member or friend to join you!
When you start using hearing aids, your brain is faced with many sounds that you think you should not be hearing. You need to become reacquainted with environmental sounds.
Even if you clean your hearing aids every day, which you should do, debris might not be noticed, so it can build up inside the instruments.
When you are first fit with hearing aids, the Audiologist should complete a Real Ear
measurement using computerized equipment that measures the sound at your eardrum.
There are many factors that will influence your ability to understand speech and enjoy music and environmental sounds.
