Frequently Asked Questions

 Some symptoms of hearing loss include: problems hearing in crowds, difficulty with female or children’s voices, thinking people mumble, having to ask people to repeat, turning the television up louder than other people do, and family members telling you that you have a hearing problem. If you think you have a hearing loss, ask a family member if they have noticed you having difficulty and schedule a hearing evaluation. 

If you think you have a hearing loss, the best thing you can do for yourself and those around you, is to have a hearing evaluation to see if you are a candidate for hearing aids. You may not know what you are missing if you never give hearing aids a try. Better hearing makes listening less stressful and can improve relationships with friends and family. 

A Demo is a No Charge, in-office demonstration, where we program your specific hearing loss into hearing aids so you can listen for yourself how they sound.

A Field Test is an Out-Of-Office trial where we program recommended hearing aids specific to your loss and you are able to wear them home and around your normal listening environments for up to a week.   There is no charge for the trial, however you will be required to sign a waiver that you are responsible for the device(s) , as well as keep a credit card on file (approved but not ran),  or be approved for financing to cover the cost of the aids if you would lose them.  Which, by the way is nearly impossible because the hearing aids now have GPS built in. 

The human ear is extremely delicate and hearing aids are trying to utilize what healthy nerves you have left. Manufacturers spend millions of dollars a year on research and development. That technology is then designed to fit into a compact device designed specifically to the shape of your individual ear. Finding the right technology to fit your specific needs is critical to your success. Rest assured that at Ultimate Hearing we will look at every option to find you the best product available at the best price. 

If you have a hearing loss in both ears, it is recommended that you consider two hearing instruments. You will receive maximum benefit with good hearing in both ears. People who opt for two hearing aids report a higher level of satisfaction. 

When you purchase a hearing aid, you should be offered a trail period of 30 days. Payment will be required when you order or receive the hearing instruments but you will have a time period to have several adjustments to the aids and to decide if the hearing aids are meeting your needs.
