As a result, almost all hearing aids now contain some kind of water-resistant design to repel water, delaying or avoiding the detrimental effects of moisture. Starkey Hearing Technologies has developed a new protective hearing aid technology, called HydraShield®2, which not only improves upon existing water-resistant properties, but also adds resistance to waxes, oils and other liquids.

Hearing care professionals and patients want hearing aids that are resistant to water, sweat, earwax and other foreign materials. They desire hearing aids that work reliably in challenging environments and peace-of-mind in knowing that the sensitive electronics in their hearing aids are well-protected throughout years of ownership. In recent years, hearing aids have integrated water resistance to reduce corrosion and improve reliability.

Unfortunately, water resistance did little to address the most common failure mode – the ingress of foreign materials, such as oils and earwax. Through successful laboratory testing and actual patient experiences, HydraShield2 technology offers an effective and comprehensive solution, unrivaled in the industry. Not only does it optimize moisture protection through superhydrophobicity, but it also adds oleophobic surface properties. Together, these increase the longevity and durability of today’s hearing aids as well as add to patient satisfaction.

You can do this by making sure to have your hearing aids checked by your Specialist on a regular basis and by maintaining a regular cleaning regimen at home. At a minimum, you should wipe down your hearing aids daily. Using a dry tooth brush is even better to release the dry wax that can accumulate on and in your hearing aid.

When do you decide to replace them instead of fixing them? Hearing aids are a long-term investment. The average life-span of any hearing aid from any manufacturer is five to seven years. If your hearing aids are older than the typical life expectancy, you’ll be happy to hear that they can still be fixed.

What you need to know is that, with older hearing aids, manufacturers often stop supporting the older technology. It’s what’s called “built in obsolescence,” and means that manufacturer can’t feasibly repair hearing aids forever. It just wouldn’t be good for business to continue to manufacturer the parts and keep them on hand for every hearing aid made.

So, you may be told that the hearing aids are “not fixable.” This is simply not true, however. There are many non-manufacturer repair labs, called All-Make labs that often have parts. So, if you are being told that you must replace the hearing aid because it isn’t fixable, get a second opinion.

If you were happy with your hearing aids prior to their breakdown, it’ll be worth your time to find someone who can get them working again. But what if you weren’t happy with the hearing aids? The nice thing about hearing aid technology is that it is rapidly advancing. If your hearing aid is more than four years old, it may be worth your time to talk to your Specialist about what’s new.

You may find that your money is better spent on replacing your hearing aids than on fixing something that wasn’t doing the job in the first place. If you’re wondering what the best decision is for your situation, call our office today. We’d be glad to discuss it with you further.

The most common form of hearing loss is called “nerve deafness.” This comes as a result of the fact
that the cochlea (inner ear) and auditory nerves do not properly transmit their signal to the brain.
Other possible causes are prolonged exposure to loud sounds, aging, heredity, certain illnesses, and
medications.

What should I do if I or a loved one suspects hearing loss?

The first step should be a professional hearing examination by a licensed specialist. This will help to
determine the level and type of hearing loss, as well as what is needed in order to treat the hearing
loss. Today’s modern hearing aid technology allows many hearing losses to be successfully cor-
rected with a hearing aid. However, only about 25 percent of people who could benefit from the use
of hearing aids actually do use them.

Which is the best brand of hearing aids?

There are approximately 24 worldwide hearing aid manufacturers, each producing exceptional qual-
ity products. Which brand is right for you will be determined by the results of your audiogram, your
lifestyle, cosmetic requirements and your dexterity. Your hearing professional will select the brand
only after selecting the type of circuit best suited for your individual hearing loss as indicated by your
examination.

What style hearing aids do I need?

This is a personal choice which will be made between you and your hearing specialist. At Hearing
Aid HealthCare, our approach is to discuss with you the physiological and cosmetic needs available
to your individual hearing assessment and listening demands.
There are six primary styles:
1) the Intra-In-Canal (IIC), the newest and smallest style. They cannot be seen at all when worn.
2) The Completely-In-Canal (CIC), which is barely visible when worn.
3) The Receiver-In-Canal (RIC), which places the computer processor on top of the ear, with
the receiver worn in the canal; these are practically unnoticeable when worn.
4) The In-the-Canal (ITC), which is slightly larger than the CIC.
5) The In-the-Ear (ITE), which fills the ear bowl.
6) The Behind-The-Ear (BTE), which is used with an ear mold worn in the ear bowl; this style is
used when high-power output is needed.

How Much Do Hearing Aids Cost?

Hearing aid prices vary greatly, depending on several criteria, allowing them to be affordable to ev-
eryone. An entry level instrument will range from $600 to $1,200, and the premium instruments will
range from $2,800 to $3,500 per hearing aid. The most common differences that affect pricing are
the level of technology, style, performance, features, warranties and accessories.

any lifestyle and budget. We are happy to demonstrate our hearing aids to help you
