Advances in digital technology make hearing aids work better, adapt faster and feel more comfortable than ever before. Recent research has shown that well-fit hearing aids improve quality of life and may help prevent memory and cognitive decline by keeping people engaged and stimulating the hearing and language areas of the brain. We know that adopting hearing aids earlier in the hearing loss can make it much easier to adapt to your new way of hearing.

Most people first notice difficulty hearing in noisy situations. Today’s advanced hearing aids are little computers that are programmed to compensate for your hearing loss and can improve the clarity of your hearing in noisy situations and with multiple talkers.

At Atlantic Hearing Care, we can fit and service most brands of hearing aids, working with all the top national brands to accommodate various hearing needs and lifestyle requirements. We partner most closely with brands and manufacturers that we feel support us in the way that we, as professional audiologists, want to support out patients. If you purchased your hearing aids elsewhere, we can still be of service with our comprehensive service plans.

Style and features are recommended for you with your unique needs in mind. We will partner with you to find the best solution to fit your needs.

Combines natural sound and comfort with great cosmetics. Over 75% of our patients choose this style of hearing aids. This style is suitable for mild to severe hearing loss and is especially helpful to those with hearing loss in the high frequencies. These are very discrete, comfortable and light weight. They often have blue tooth connectivity for phones, computers and TV, are moisture resistant and are now rechargeable in many levels of technology. For those with greater hearing loss or retention issues we attach a custom ear mold.

These hearing aids can range in size depending on the needs and cosmetic preference of the user.  They are typically most appropriate for those with mild to moderate hearing loss, they are not appropriate for severe hearing losses.  In the largest style, the hearing aid fills the exterior of the ear canal and concha bowl.  These hearing aids can typically offer options such as rechargeability and bluetooth connectivity.  The moderately-sized and ultra-small in-the-canal style hearing aids typically can not offer rechargeability or bluetooth.  This style of hearing aid uses a disposable battery that needs to be changed routinely.  In the ear hearing aids can be more prone to damage from moisture and ear wax.

The traditional style of hearing aids are a great choice for those with severe to profound hearing loss or significant moisture issues. These are also what we usually fit for children because they are the most robust and only the soft plastic ear mold needs to be changed every few months as they grow. These offer rechargeability and Bluetooth features.

As hearing loss progresses, even the most powerful hearing aids may no longer provide benefit for daily conversations, phone calls, or TV. Cochlear Implants are surgically implanted medical devices that replace the function of the inner ear (cochlea) and are designed to mimic natural hearing. Cochlear Implants have been used for over 30 years and could make a big difference in your hearing clarity and confidence.  Many people go from being unable to identify words to being able to follow a conversation in as little as six months. We provide the specialized testing to determine candidacy and refer you to a local surgical center. Activation occurs a month after surgery. We are with you every step of the way to program your device and to help you adapt to the new way of hearing.
