Comprehensive Hearing Care: Your Guide to Better Hearing
1. 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, feel exhausted after socializing, or experience ringing, buzzing, or clicking in your ears (tinnitus).
At Modern Hearing Solutions, we recommend that anyone experiencing these symptoms get a diagnostic hearing evaluation.
2. 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 clarity in human speech.
Our advanced hearing solutions are specifically programmed to isolate and amplify these high-frequency speech cues, making conversations clear again.
3. 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 specializes in providing treatment that allows for background noise reduction, helping you focus on the person sitting across from you while softening the noise around you.
4. 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 go hand-in-hand with hearing loss.
We call this your brain’s “check engine light.” That annoying ringing is most often due to damage to the auditory system. While there is no cure, our clinicians are Certified Tinnitus Specialists and have an 80% success rate in managing tinnitus for patients.
5. 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 packed with advanced speech-enhancement technology without feeling plugged up.
6. Are modern hearing devices difficult to use or adjust?
Not at all. Today’s technology does the heavy lifting for you.
The neurotechnology utilized at Modern Hearing Solutions automatically adjusts to your environment thousands of times per second. You will not need to constantly fiddle with tiny dials or buttons when moving from a quiet living room to a busy grocery store.
7. Do you offer rechargeable hearing aids, or will I need to change tiny batteries?
We offer a wide range of fully rechargeable hearing aids utilizing sealed lithium-ion power cells that rest in a magnetic charging dock overnight.
Simply place your devices in their magnetic charging case on your nightstand before bed and wake up to a full day of reliable, continuous hearing. Our modern hearing solutions eliminate the hassle of changing tiny disposable batteries.
8. Do you offer complimentary consultations?
Yes. We pride ourselves on offering a complimentary, no-obligation treatment consultation for new patients.
In addition to our advanced technology and extensive experience in providing 5-star treatment, you can count on the numerous extra steps we take to give you or your loved one an outstanding treatment experience.
9. Can I connect my hearing aids directly to my TV or smartphone?
Yes. Many of our devices feature seamless Bluetooth connectivity.
You can stream phone calls, audiobooks, and your favorite television shows directly into both ears at your preferred volume without disturbing your spouse or family members in the same room.
10. Are invisible or completely-in-canal (CIC) hearing aids a good option for me?
Invisible hearing solutions are excellent for many patients, but they require a specific ear canal shape and are best suited for mild to moderate hearing loss.
During your in-person consultation, our specialists will examine your ear anatomy to determine if a custom-molded invisible device is the right fit for your unique needs.
11. What happens during a comprehensive hearing evaluation at your clinic?
Our comprehensive evaluation is a pain-free, multi-step process.
We begin with a physical examination of your ear canals, followed by an audiometric test in a soundproof environment to measure your exact hearing thresholds.
Additionally, we perform diagnostic evaluations in background noise because many of our patients struggle the most in these environments. This allows us to properly treat each person’s hearing loss and address their symptoms.
Finally, we map your results to understand your unique needs and provide a recommendation for a treatment plan tailored to your symptoms and lifestyle.
12. How is Modern Hearing Solutions different from buying cheap amplifiers online?
We provide customized, medical-grade audiological care, whereas online retailers sell one-size-fits-all volume boosters.
An over-the-counter amplifier simply makes everything louder, including background noise. Modern Hearing Solutions devices are individually prescribed and programmed to your precise hearing loss frequencies by a certified professional.
13. How long does it take to get used to wearing new hearing aids?
Most patients experience an adjustment period of 2 to 4 weeks.
Because your brain has been deprived of certain sounds for years, everyday noises like footsteps or running water may seem loud at first. We provide a structured adaptation plan and follow-up tuning appointments to ensure a comfortable transition.
14. Do you provide ongoing local support after I purchase my devices?
Absolutely. Hearing loss changes over time, and your devices will need periodic care to keep you hearing your best.
We provide lifetime care, routine cleanings, and ongoing support right here at our local Ohio service centers.
15. Does Medicare or my health insurance cover the cost of hearing aids?
Traditional Medicare (Part A and B) does not cover the cost of hearing aids. However, many Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans and private secondary insurances do offer hearing discounts or allowances.
Our front office staff will verify your specific insurance benefits prior to your appointment so you know exactly what is covered.
16. Do you offer financing or affordable payment plans?
Yes. At Modern Hearing Solutions, we have a saying:
“Never let a treatment decision become a financial decision.”
We offer specialized membership and financing plans with manageable monthly installments, ensuring our doctors and specialists never have to turn a patient away from the treatment they need.
We also work closely with the nonprofit organization Sound of Life Foundation for those who cannot afford our low monthly plans.
17. Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. All our treatments are backed by a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
If you aren’t happy with the treatment you are receiving at any time, simply let us know and we will do what it takes to make it right.
18. How can I find an official Modern Hearing Solutions clinic near me?
We have certified clinics conveniently located throughout Ohio.
Visit the “Locations” tab on our official website or call our local team to find the care center closest to your home.
19. Can I bring my spouse or a family member to my hearing consultation?
We highly encourage it.
Hearing loss affects the whole family, and having a loved one there to help absorb the information and ask questions ensures you make the best decision together.
