One of the biggest concerns we hear is about the cost of hearing aids. There may be some new hearing devices on the market in the future, but these might not be for everyone (see this article: https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/16/health/fda-otc-hearing-aids/index.html). When it comes to hearing aids, our professionals ensure that the device you receive is right for you, and is also set up and fitted correctly for your particular hearing requirements. We guide our clients on any available insurance or assistance programs that can help with the cost. These and many other services that our clients receive are all factored into the pricing. There may also be other issues to consider, such as what is presented in this video: https://youtube.com/shorts/jQVhVQvbKNQ?feature=share

If you have any concerns about what hearing devices are right for you, reach out to a clinic near you: https://nexgenhearing.com/locations/

Hearing aids should get cheaper and possibly even better due to a long-awaited rule change that the US Food and Drug Administration announced Tuesday.

Every day comes with its struggles for people who are deaf and live with hearing loss. There are actually side effects of dealing with a hearing loss, especially if left untreated. Often they deal with listening fatigue and an increased risk of burnout, which can be linked to mental health issues. But there are solutions available and technology is advancing every day to improve the well-being of the deaf and hard of hearing community.
