 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Five star service from Maleya at New Wave! I came in with my grandmother after she lost her last hearing aids. Maleya was so kind and patient with my gran and really took the time to answer all of our questions. She was professional and knowledgeable and truly genuine showing how much she cares for people with disabilities. My gran was fit for hearing aids the same day and now is having fully engaged conversations again! I’m so thankful for Maleya and the service she provided us. Thank you!!!

How Treatment for Hearing Loss Can Help Reduce Risk of Dementia

Getting treatment for hearing loss, such as hearing aids, could help protect your brain against Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, according to a new study. Maria Shriver reports for TODAY.

OUR SERVICES

We help people with hearing loss find solutions. Our hearing specialists will test your hearing, present you with options, make sure your hearing aids are fitted properly, and stay in contact
with you for further treatment plans.

Hearing Testing

During the hearing exam, we talk about the situations or environments that are most problematic for your hearing. Using an otoscope, we look into your ears to get a visual sense of the condition of your ear canal and eardrum.

Hearing Aid Fitting

A proper hearing aid fitting will ensure a successful transition to wearing new hearing aids. When custom fitted to your ear and preferences, hearing aids are extremely successful and work very well.

Hearing Aid Repair

If you notice feedback, interference, they slip out of place, or if there are other signs that they are not working properly, please bring them in to our office so our professional teams can check the devices.

Hearing Protection

Your Ears need sound, and we need to make sound in order to have a society. But hearing protection needs to be an important part of working or playing in noisy environments.

4 9 Hearing Loss Misconceptions

There have been huge advances in medicine and technology that have helped our understanding of hearing loss. Despite these advancements, there is an incredible amount of incorrect information floating around out there. Here are nine misconceptions, things we often hear. Don’t let them prevent you from getting help for your hearing loss.

Myth 1

I’d be the first to know if I had hearing loss.

THE TRUTH:

Hearing loss often develops gradually, making it difficult to recognize the changes in your own hearing. You may still hear sounds clearly but have trouble understanding conversations, especially in noisy environments. Over time, you may find yourself asking others to repeat themselves, turning up the volume, or relying more on lip reading without realizing that these are signs of hearing difficulty. Because hearing loss can be subtle, the people around you may notice changes before you do. A hearing evaluation can provide a clear picture of how well you are hearing and help identify changes early. Taking the time to have your hearing checked can help you stay connected to the people and conversation that matter the most.

Myth 4

If I’m having problems hearing, I’ll just turn up the volume.

THE TRUTH:

This might work while you’re at home alone watching television or listening to the radio, but it doesn’t work well interacting with others. When people know that interacting with you means enduring overly-loud devices or constantly repeating themselves or hearing you ask, “What?” all the time, they might become frustrated and experience difficulty talking to you with ease.

The best way to approach to “turning up the volume” is to use hearing aids that are programmed by our experienced staff.

Myth 7

If I use a hearing aid, I won’t look or feel young anymore.

THE TRUTH:

Although hearing loss often occurs in older folks, people of all ages are affected by hearing loss. Injury, illness, and medications can affect hearing even in young people.

You can keep feeling young, enthusiastic, and full of energy by participating in conversations confidently, continuing involvement in activities and social groups, and staying active. Having good hearing will keep you engaged instead of feeling off to the side.

Myth 2

I'm doing okay and it’s not worth all the fuss to improve my hearing.

THE TRUTH:

It is frustrating to be experiencing hearing loss; it makes it hard to keep up in conversations, talk on the phone, or go to social gatherings in loud places. Many people with hearing loss experience depression or social withdrawal, and their family and loved ones miss them. Instead of constantly asking others to repeat themselves or turn the volume up, it’s better to address your hearing issues. Better hearing will improve the relationships you have with your family and community as well as those you may work with.

Myth 5

I don’t believe hearing aids will help me.

THE TRUTH:

Almost everyone with hearing loss is helped through hearing aids; however, the trick is using the right technology with the proper settings.

Our team of specialists will help you find the right hearing aid fit. We program the hearing aids to help your specific hearing loss and fit in with your specific lifestyle. With such a personalized fitting, it is almost a certainty that you will begin to hear better.

Myth 8

Hearing aids are too pricey.

THE TRUTH:

Your hearing is just one of the many moving parts on the human body and just as serious as any other health condition. Like other health treatments one must consider quality of life. Consider your hearing aids an important investment in your own life and happiness, one that will benefit you during most of your waking hours, seven days a week.

There are many options for types of hearing aids. There are many different technology levels and features that you may or may not need. We can help you choose the best fit for your lifestyle and budget.

Myth 3

I’m doing okay right now, so hearing aids can wait.

THE TRUTH:

Despite how much hearing loss you are experiencing now, it usually gets worse over time. The sooner you can come in and address your individual needs, the better. “Auditory deprivation” is a term to describe the hearing that cannot be recovered. The longer you delay treating your hearing loss, the harder it will be to recover more of your hearing. The sooner you address your hearing loss, the better.

Hearing aids are incredibly helpful for many folks, but you can’t wait too long. The longer you live with hearing loss, the harder it will be to adjust to life with hearing aids. The sooner you start, the easier the adjustment will be.

Myth 6

Hearing aids are just plain ugly.

THE TRUTH:

Hearing aids of the past were large, noticeable, and there were only a few style options. Nowadays, there are dozens of models, many which are nearly invisible. You can choose from devices that are positioned behind the ear, or ones that fit snuggly in the ear canal. Our patients are excited when they see how styles have changed!

Myth 9

Buying only one hearing aid will be okay and will help my budget.

THE TRUTH:

In order for your brain to interpret sound, you need both ears. That’s because ears also help you locate the source of the sound, assist with balance, and help with sound clarity. If you have hearing loss in both ears but only use one hearing aid, you’re doing your body a disservice.
