Services provided by doctoral-level audiologists with over 30 years of combined experience Typically, age-related and noise-induced hearing losses occur gradually over several years, making it difficult to realize that hearing loss is even occurring. However, there are some early signs of hearing loss. If any of these symptoms below describe you, it may be in your best interest to have a hearing evaluation done by an audiologist. Symptoms include: At Clear Sound Audiology, we give patients the opportunity to try hearing aids in the office. For a nominal fee, patients may take the hearing aids home for 1-2 weeks before making the decision to purchase the hearing aids. Yes. Florida law requires audiologists and hearing instrument specialists to provide at least a 30-day trial period. Today’s hearing aids undergo significant research and development before being released to the public, raising manufacturing costs. Each hearing aid has its own processor, similar to a computer, as well as wireless capabilities, similar to Bluetooth. At Clear Sound Audiology, the price of our hearing aids also includes comprehensive services for your hearing aids for 1-5 years, depending upon the technology level of the hearing aid. When purchasing a hearing aid from us, the cost includes our clinical expertise in programming and fitting the hearing aids to your individual ear canal, hearing loss, and physical abilities. Any further hearing evaluations, programming, hearing aid cleaning, and hearing aid supplies (including batteries), are also included. With no other additional costs for the maintenance of your hearing and hearing aids, most patients are investing on average $4.50 per day in improved hearing. Most devices advertised for less than a few hundred dollars and mailed directly to your home are not hearing aids, but are Personal Sound Amplification Products or PSAPs. These are typically not programmed according to your hearing loss, have little to no noise reduction, and are not custom-fit for your ear. Unlike hearing aids, PSAPs have not been approved as a medical device by the Food and Drug Administration; they are classified as wearable electronic products for occasional, recreational use by consumers who are not hearing impaired.
