What is a Hearing Aid Specialist?
A Hearing Aid Specialist is certified and licensed to perform hearing aid evaluations using computers and highly technical equipment to determine hearing loss.  They counsel on the benefits of hearing aid instruments and provide custom fit and style to meet personal needs and preferences.


What is an Audiologist?
An audiologist is a hearing health care professional who diagnoses, treats, and manages people with hearing loss. Audiologists have earned their Master’s degree. Most Audiologists have earned their Doctoral degree (Au.D.) from an accredited university. Audiologists determine appropriate patient treatment of hearing problems by an assortment of specialized auditory assessments. A diagnosis is made and treatment options are discussed with the patient. Audiologists dispense and fit hearing aids as a part of a thorough hearing rehabilitative program. Audiologists often work in hospitals, medical centers, private practice, schools and universities. If medical or surgical treatment is necessary, audiologists will refer the patient to a medical physician.


Why are two Hearing Aids so important?
Most people have hearing loss in both ears as a result of noise exposure, aging and/or genetics.  It is often assumed that one hearing aid will be fine and that is not the case.  If both ears have hearing loss,  then both ears need to be aided. 


What are the benefits of having two Hearing Aids over one?
Your ability to localize sounds will improve. For example, you will know which direction a sound of a siren is coming from.

It will be easier to understand speech in a noisy environment. The brain needs input from both ears to decipher speech from noise. 

The risk of “auditory deprivation” is considerably reduced. The brain gradually loses some of its ability to process sound if it is not stimulated with sound. Aiding both ears will stimulate the brain sufficiently.
