Comprehensive Hearing Care Services

Experience comprehensive hearing care services in Akron, Ohio. Our specialists  diagnose your unique hearing concerns and provide personalized solutions designed for easier hearing, reduced tinnitus, reduced risk of dementia, reduced risk of falls, and a better quality of life.
Comprehensive Hearing Tests

Comprehensive Hearing Tests

Go beyond a basic screening with our advanced hearing diagnostic evaluation. We evaluate your pitch sensitivity, speech clarity in noisy environments, and perform a cognitive screening to address the well-researched link between untreated hearing loss and cognitive decline. These in-depth diagnostics allow us to build a customized hearing care plan tailored to your unique needs.

Best for: adults noticing difficulty hearing conversations, asking people to repeat themselves, struggling in restaurants, or experiencing gradual hearing changes.

Tinnitus Evaluations & Treatment

Tinnitus Evaluations & Treatment

Struggling with ringing, buzzing, or rushing sounds in your ears? Our Akron specialists provide expert tinnitus evaluations to identify your specific triggers and symptom severity. We develop personalized relief plans that often include sound therapy, hearing aid tinnitus masking, and lifestyle adjustments to help you find real, measurable improvement.

Best for: patients with occasional or constant ringing in the ears, noise-related hearing concerns, or tinnitus that becomes more noticeable in quiet rooms or at night.

Professional Hearing Aid Fitting

Professional Hearing Aid Fitting

A hearing device is only as effective as its programming and the professional you’re working with. At our Akron clinic, we utilize advanced real-ear measurements and live speech mapping for precise hearing aid fittings. We adjust your devices based on real-world conversations, not just software defaults, ensuring optimal clarity and comfort for your specific hearing loss. 

Best for: patients who are new to hearing aids, upgrading older devices, or struggling with hearing aids that feel uncomfortable, too loud, too soft, or unclear.

Beyond the Fitting: Comprehensive Hearing Aid Aftercare & Auditory Rehabilitation

True medical care doesn’t end when you exit our clinic wearing your new hearing technology, in fact, that’s where our real commitment begins. We are recognized for our gold-standard patient aftercare program that goes vastly beyond the initial fitting.

Auditory rehabilitation is an ongoing cognitive journey, not a one-off retail transaction. Your brain requires time to adapt to processing new information, and your devices require meticulous, ongoing maintenance to battle daily wear and tear.

Our lifelong support infrastructure includes regular cognitive-adaptation follow-ups, complimentary device deep-cleanings, and proactive recalibrations as your hearing loss evolves. We don’t just hand you a device and wish you luck; we partner with you for life to protect your investment and guarantee your long-term clarity, ease of communication, overall health and quality of life.

Featuring Oticon, Phonak, & Other Trusted Brands

Discover premium hearing aids, featuring trusted brands like Oticon and Phonak. Our team of experts will guide you to the perfect style, from rechargeable to invisible devices, tailored to your unique hearing needs and treatment goals and prognosis.

The Modern Hearing Solutions Difference: Clinical Excellence in Summit County

Selecting the right audiology clinic is a significant milestone for your overall well-being and daily quality of life. Our focus remains squarely on clinical excellence rather than quota-driven retail quotas. When you visit our clinic, you consult directly with highly credentialed specialists possessing extensive education, never an untrained representative reciting a corporate pitch. 

We dedicate immense effort toward comprehending your unique auditory environment. We invite patients to experience a comprehensive, complimentary 120-minute diagnostic and recommendation session. Should our findings indicate a need for intervention, our clinicians meticulously explain every available treatment plan. This approach empowers you to direct your healthcare journey confidently. 

We believe that true medical excellence fosters a lifelong partnership rather than a fleeting retail exchange, because making communication easier, reducing the ringing and risks of cognitive decline and dementia takes collaboration. We deliver maintenance, cognitive adaptation follow  ups, routine diagnostic evaluations, and dedicated rehabilitation assistance for the lifespan of your treatment plan.

I am so grateful to Modern hearing solutions for testing, matching, and fitting me with the amazing aids I wear. I am so happy to not miss a word at church, in a restaurant, while using my phone, and while enjoying tv. They are as important to me as wearing my glasses. Three years ago when I started using them, there was no trial period necessary for me. They have been amazing since day one. And I especially appreciate stopping in any time to have them cleaned. Dr Nash made everything so easy and clear for me. I am extremely grateful to all of her staff.

Hello Modern Hearing Solutions team. Thank you so much. My husband is a patient of yours and travels constantly, and on a recent trip his Lyric suddenly went out while he was in Fort Lewis, Washington. One quick phone call later, your team pulled together and somehow got a replacement overnighted to him so he could stay effective at work.

I really appreciate how quickly you acted and I was honestly surprised (and impressed) that you just dropped the Lyric straight in the mail to him yourselves. He’s always spoken very highly of everyone at Modern Hearing Solutions, which, coming from him, is not praise he gives lightly. Now I fully understand why. Thank you again for taking such great care of him.

Always Excellent Service! This review is long overdue and I certainly should have written Modern Hearing Solutions at the Five Star level on several past visits. I have never been more satisfied and pleased with the level of attention to customer needs the Canton office routinely provides. The most recent example being my current trip to Disney with my eight year old and a “washout” hearing aid loss at the Typhoon Lagoon - I typically travel with a spare for just such events; however, family vacation didn’t warrant the additional thought I’d put into work trips in my past. Lesson Learned. *I wear the Lyric IIC Hearing Aid

Upon calling Modern Hearing Solutions at close of business Thursday , 04 DEC I was immediately taken care of and redirected to a local office in Orlando where I could get a replacement while traveling. I also scheduled a first available appointment for my return Monday 08 DEC. *This appointment is primarily to personally thank all the folks at the Canton office for their immediate assistance and personal attention they never fail to provide.

Thank you Modern Hearing Solutions Canton Office!
I was made to feel comfortable and welcome from the first moment I arrived. A significant moment in my life was turned into a relaxed experience. As a healthcare professional I learned about newer technology that just made sense. Grateful for the experience I had. I highly recommend these folks.

Making an appointment was quick and informative. The appointment itself was wonderful. Started at my scheduled time. Dr Smith was delightful and I learned so much from her. Was not overly surprised at how much hearing loss I already had but to see it on paper was definitely eye-opening. I was so excited to be able to leave my first appointment with my new hearing aids to test out, and then to be able to go back in a week for any needed adjustments is a testament to such great service. I hope more people my age take the leap (I’m 57) and at least go for the consultation. It’s not cheap but it’s such an important investment in quality of life. I only wish I had gone sooner. Goodbye subtitles and choosing restaurants that are “easy-to-hear” type of places. Hello freedom!

FAQ'S

How do I know if it’s time to schedule a hearing test?

You should schedule a hearing test if you frequently ask people to repeat themselves, turn the TV volume up higher than others prefer, or feel exhausted after socializing. We at Modern Hearing Solutions recommend a baseline hearing evaluation every year to monitor natural, age-related changes in your hearing profile.

Why can I hear people talking, but I can't understand the words?

Hearing sound but lacking clarity is the most common symptom of age-related hearing loss (presbycusis). You are likely losing high-frequency sounds, like the consonants s, f, th, and sh, which provide the clarity in human speech. Our advanced hearing solutions are specifically programmed to isolate and amplify these high-frequency speech cues, making conversations clear again.

Is it normal to struggle to hear in noisy restaurants?

Yes. Background noise combined with high-frequency hearing loss makes it incredibly difficult for your brain to separate speech from surrounding clatter. Modern Hearing Solutions utilizes directional microphones and AI-driven background noise reduction to focus on the person sitting across from you while softening the noise around you.

Do your hearing specialists treat ringing in the ears (tinnitus)?

Yes, we provide specialized management for tinnitus. Ringing, buzzing, or hissing in the ears often goes hand-in-hand with hearing loss. Many of our premium hearing devices feature built-in tinnitus masking technology that plays soothing, customized sounds to help your brain ignore the ringing.

What is the best type of hearing aid for older adults?

The “best” device depends entirely on your specific hearing loss, dexterity, and lifestyle. However, Receiver-In-Canal (RIC) models are currently the most popular choice because they are discreet, comfortable, and pack the most advanced speech-enhancement technology without feeling plugged up.
