Hearing Resources (199)

Are you looking for a hearing aid that’s discreet but powerful? Are you sick of your current devices getting dislodged by glasses and mask straps? Then it might be time to consider investing in a pair of in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids.

It’s hard to know if you have hearing loss as it comes on slowly and with the subtlest of changes. But learning to spot the warning signs of presbycusis will help you get the right treatment and hearing aids to preserve your hearing.

You’ve taken a big step toward improving your hearing health, and we congratulate you!

Hearing aids allow you to hear conversations with your spouse, grandkids’ giggles and group chatter around the dinner table. While it’s wonderful to be able to hear again, all those sounds can be overwhelming. Here are some tips to help you get acquainted with your hearing aids.

Part of our mission at Audio Help Hearing Centers is to serve communities outside of our office walls. While we pay diligent attention to the patients who come to our practice, we also want to spend time with those who may not be able to make an appointment.

Audio Help Hearing Centers is proud to have a team of audiologists who have achieved their doctorate in audiology – the highest available professional certification in our field of medicine.

Your ears are responsible for more than listening and sending audio signals to your brain. The vestibular structures in your inner ear also contribute to your balance control.

What is a Balance Disorder?

It’s a condition that makes you feel dizzy or unsteady while standing, sitting or lying down. Your balance is collectively controlled by your vision, muscles, joints and inner ears. The two parts of your inner ear – the cochlea and vestibular system – are responsible for helping you maintain your spatial awareness.

The July 4^th fireworks are such an American tradition that almost every town in the country holds its own fireworks display. If you happen to live in a building on the East River in New York City, you can look out in the horizon and see 20 or more fireworks displays in all the towns from Westchester County, NY to Long Island and on to Brooklyn.

But will you hear the sounds? If you are over 55, there is a good chance you have some hearing loss, whether it is due to aging, your job, the volume on your headphones or maybe just attending lots of rock concerts when you were younger.  At Audio Help we care about your hearing and want to help you prepare for the sounds and joys of the July 4^th celebration…which this year will be extra special as we have almost come to the end of the Covid crisis.

Do you struggle to understand what other people are saying while they’re wearing a mask? It’s common for people with hearing loss, especially because masks hinder lip-reading and obscure facial expressions. Luckily, there are hearing aid settings that can improve your hearing.
