Implantable Devices
Cochlear bone conduction solutions are implantable hearing devices that uses your natural ability to conduct sound to bypass the damaged outer and middle ear, and sends clearer, more crisp sound directly to your inner ear. Professional Hearing Services can help determine if this may be a good option for you.
Assistive Listening Devices
These products offer specialized technology to help with all degrees of hearing loss. These devices can facilitate improved face-to-face communication, reception of electronic media, telephone reception and reception of important warning sounds and situations. We offer a number of assistive listening devicesand can help you understand which option(s) will improve your quality of life.
Hearing Protection Devices
We offer a wide range of standard and custom protection for your hearing. We have custom ear plugs including insert head phones, swim plugs, musician ear plugs and racing receivers.
Styles of Hearing Aids
All hearing aids consist of three basic components: a microphone, an amplifier and a speaker. Where these are placed on the device varies by model. The sound quality and sound-processing features — like background noise reduction – also vary by style. Choosing the right style of hearing aid depends on your specific diagnosis and the type of lifestyle that you live. We’ll help you choose the hearing aid that is right for you.
