How Hearing Aids Work


Hearing aids change sound waves to electrical signals using a microphone. The sounds are sent to a speaker in your ears. 
Hearing Aid Fitting

Everyone has different needs when it comes to hearing solutions, and Audiology Associates of Westchester is here to provide a personalized solution. We can find and fit your hearing aid, and we can show you how to use it and change the batteries. 
Why You Should Have Two Hearing Aids

Wearing one hearing aid will make it difficult to tell where sounds are coming from and can make it hard to hear in loud areas. We always recommend wearing a hearing aid in each ear for the best results. 
The Price and Value of Hearing Aids

Hearing aids are an investment in your health and happiness. At Audiology Associates of Westchester, we offer hearing aids that will provide unmatched value. You can’t put a price on benefits like being able to participate fully in social activities, enjoying the sounds of nature, and communicating with family and friends! The cost of your hearing aids will depend on the features you want and your level of hearing loss.  
Does Insurance Cover Hearing Aids?

Medicaid sometimes covers the diagnosis and treatment of hearing loss, and some may be covered under SCHIP (State Children’s Health Insurance Program). The only way to find out if your insurance plan covers hearing aids is to contact your insurance provider.
Questions to Ask Before You Buy

Consider the following questions before you purchase a hearing aid: 

  • What is the price?
  • What are the features and benefits?
  • Can I take advantage of a trial period (and are there any nonrefundable fees)?
  • Is there a warranty, and what does it cover?
  • Can the audiologist help with future repairs or adjustments?
