We feel that these devices are some of the best, most reliable, and cost-effective on the market. Our Audiologists will evaluate the patient's hearing loss and make a recommendation for the best-suited device. Impressions for ear molds are made in the office, and minor adjustments to the devices can often be performed here as well. All patients are given a six week trial period with the devices so that they may determine if they are happy with their purchase.
