Questions you may have about hearing aids

Q. I have been told my hearing loss cannot be helped with a hearing aid. Is this true?

A. Recent advancements in amplification technology have made it possible to assist individual hearing losses that could not have been helped a few years ago. ENT Clinic of Iowa offers an excellent selection of the latest in hearing aid technology, including a wide variety of assistive listening devices for special purpose communication needs.

Q. Will it be difficult to adjust to wearing a hearing aid?

A. No! You have already overcome the most difficult obstacle—admitting to yourself that you do have a hearing loss. Constantly remind yourself of all the benefits of the hearing aids, not the occasional problems. The more you wear your hearing aids, the better you will hear with them in all listening situations.

Q. Some people say they have difficulties with their hearing aids in the presence of background noise.

A. Many individuals' hearing losses develop gradually over a number of years, allowing them to grow accustomed to the quiet. By placing the hearing aid on a person, the wearer is suddenly exposed to an onset of environmental sounds at near normal levels of loudness. It will take time for the wearer to become accustomed to the relative loudness of common sounds. Although many kinds of hearing aids can help to reduce the interference of unwanted background sound, it isn’t possible to completely eliminate this type of sound.

Q. Where will I be able to purchase hearing aid batteries and/or get my hearing aid(s) serviced?

A. Ask about our “battery club.” This program allows you to purchase batteries through our office at a significant savings; we can even mail the batteries directly to you.
We service all of the hearing aids we dispense and will clean and check those instruments every six months at no cost during the two-year warranty period. If repairs cannot be made in the office, we will send it to the appropriate company for repair and provide you with a loaner instrument if necessary.

Q. Will my insurance company pay for my hearing aid(s)?

A. We strongly recommend that you contact your insurance company directly to find out if hearing aids are covered by your plan.
