Constant arguments over the volume of the television is one of the most common complaints we hear from couples.
You might be surprised how something as simple as the volume of the television can become a contentious issue. The spouse with hearing loss always wants to turn it louder while the other spouse complains it’s far too loud. Imagine instead of unwinding at the end of your day you wind up in a tug-of-war that doesn't end. It gets tiring very quickly.

In a 2017 WebMD survey, hearing aid wearers overwhelmingly agreed that having hearing aids improved the quality of their lives.

Clients often say that they should never have waited as long as they did before being treated.

A hearing screening is the first step. The typical screening takes between 30 and 45 minutes and requires no preparation. The first part consists of a classic hearing test where you listen to various tones through a headset. This determines the softest sounds that you can hear. After that a word recognition test will help assess your ability to understand speech over background noise. A few other minor tests may also be conducted depending on the findings to rule out any physical problems with your ears.
