1. How bad is it? 2. What's it look like? 3. How much does it cost? Because all of these relate directly to individual patients and their unique circumstances, they can only be answered after a comprehensive hearing test and patient evaluation is completed. Feel free to contact us to answer your questions. Contact Us Q & A's Q. How much do hearing aids cost? A. $4,000 to $7,000 per pair with an equipment life expectancy of 4 to 6 years. Q. Why should I choose Taylor Hearing? A. The best reason. Personal, professional patient care. Greg Hall, owner/audiologist, is the only one who works with patients. He cares about the hearing experience they have. He's patient and meticulous in everything he does to enhance the quality of life of the people he helps by improving their quality of hearing. “Providing my patients with hearing solutions that improve their personal and business lives is very personally rewarding." Q. How do I select a hearing aid? A. Patients don't directly select a hearing aid. Greg's patients select their style of hearing aid from the options he recommends - best, better, good. Q. What may have caused my hearing loss? A. The two most common causes of hearing loss are excessive noise and genetics. Excessive noise defined - this includes not only loud noises such as gunfire, loud music, etc, but the lifetime of sounds that we experience. Noise is cumulative in it's effect on hearing. Q. Why use an audiologist? A. Hearing test equipment can be operated by trained individuals. However, audiologists delve even further into hearing loss than the clinical readings of hearing equipment. Consideration of lifestyle, where does the patient experience hearing difficulties (home, office, social, athletics) and other specific needs are carefully weighed, then balanced by Greg Hall when evaluating a patient's options. Q. Can I just order hearing aids? A. Yes, but it's a very bad idea. If you had a heart problem, you probably wouldn't install a new valve yourself. Self-diagnosing and "treatment" for impaired hearing isn't a sensible option. Rely on a professional. Q. Will hearing aids restore my hearing to normal? A. Most likely not. Many patients wait until their hearing is quite substandard before they seek help. The goal of Greg Hall and Taylor Hearing Center is to restore hearing for as much of the sound that surrounds each patient as possible. This marked increase in hearing will improve one's quality of life and add joy to each day. Q. Can I adjust my hearing aids? A. Yes, in most cases. However, when obtaining new hearing aids, it's best to take advantage of Taylor Hearing Center's 60-day adjustment period to provide you the best possible hearing experience. It includes equipment adjustments as well as listening and speaking exercises for patient and family. Q. Will I need hearing aids in both ears? A. Unless one ear has virtually no hearing, it is best to have a pair of hearing aids. Why? If only one ear is receiving amplified sounds, the brain pays the most attention to that ear, eventually nearly ignoring the other ear - deprivation. Plus, just like a stereo sound system, the best sound experience comes from the best possible processing of input to both ears. Q. How do I order my hearing aids? How long to get them? A. From Greg's recommendations, you select the hearing aid that best fits your hearing needs and budget and Greg Hall will place the order for you. Many hearing aids are in stock. Custom hearing aids arrive in a week to 10 days Q. What's the difference in hearing quality between hearing aids? A. Primarily it's in processing speech and noise. Additionally, many of the upper end hearing aids have bluetooth capabilities (wireless, low power radio transmissions) which create direct wireless feed to one's hearing aids from such things as a TV, stereo, computer, and telephone.
