COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT HEARING AIDS


"My hearing is fine." Hearing loss can occur gradually and slowly. It is best to have your hearing evaluated annually.

"I can get along fine without a hearing aid." One's quality of life greatly depends on how well one can hear. As loved ones and friends become more and more annoyed at having to repeat themselves, they tend to communicate less and less with a person that has a hearing loss. This can lead to a feeling of loneliness, isolation, and sadness for the hearing impaired person.

" 30 Day Guarantee" A new hearing aid user often thinks the hearing aid has thirty days to work for her/him. However, it may take longer than thirty days. Some new users adapt quickly, and others may take several months to adapt to new hearing aids. Normal day-to-day sounds will sound annoying and unfamiliar at first to a new hearing aid user, and then gradually over time she or he will become accustomed to these sounds. Moreover, new hearing aid users need to be taught how to use hearing aids. At Pacific Hearing Care, we provide a comprehensive user program with the emphasis on adjusting and learning how to use hearing aids.

"I'm too beautiful/handsome to wear hearing aids" Don't despair, very tiny and discreet hearing aid models are also available.

"Hearing aids make me appear old" No, asking people to continually repeat themselves makes a person appear old.

"Hearing aids do not work." Many of the older model hearing aids increased background noise too much. Also, an incorrect fit can cause discomfort and impede the performance of a hearing aid. Today's models are much more technologically advanced and have been improved upon and reduce or eliminate many of the problems presented by the older model hearing aids.

"Hearing Aids are expensive." Often new hearing aid users think they are only getting hearing aids. Unlike many hearing aid dealers and fitters, hearing aids purchased at Pacific Hearing Care include an exclusive user training program, no charge for office visits, and no charge for the service time provided for the life of the hearing aids. Moreover, financing is available for those who qualify.
