Most people think hearing aids are very expensive, but they don’t need to be. A Functional & Communication Needs Assessment is the first-step to creating a comprehensive treatment plan. If amplification is part of the treatment plan, the prescription (gain, output), technology level, style, battery, ear coupling, onboard controls, features, and associated accessories will be recommended.

Functional & Communication Needs Assessment– $275
Hearing Aid Fitting and Orientation– $1500
Using evidence-based, best practices, the hearing devices are custom programmed and measured using “real ear” to ensure the best communication outcomes. The real ear equipment uses small microphones placed in each ear, along with the hearing aid to determine how the hearing aid is functioning. Adjustments will be made to the hearing aids until they are set to meet the prescriptive gain. A review of the devices, care, maintenance, and use will be completed including battery insertion and placing the devices on/in the ears. A follow-up appointment will be scheduled for 1-2 weeks after the initial fitting, and again 3-4 weeks after the initial fitting.
