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.

Why You Should Have Two Hearing Aids
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.

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?
