Yet another thrilled patient! If you have been putting off getting help to hear well again because you don’t want to be seen with hearing aids, come see us. The custom-made prescription hearing aids that we have the labs create for us to our specifications will fit perfectly in your ear canals and can be smaller than a coin. Like contact lenses for your ears. In fact, they are so small that they look identical side-by-side, and are therefore color-coded to make sure patients don’t try to insert them in the wrong ear. Once inserted, the colored part is inside of your canal. And because they are custom-made to the exact shape of the inside of your ear canal, there is no way for you to push them in TOO far and hurt yourself. Not only are they made to the exact shape and curvature of your ear canals, but also with the exact microcomponents needed to create your exact prescription. A built-in vent made specifically for your prescription requirements keeps you from feeling plugged up. The result is perfection. Perfection in physical fit, perfection in clarity, perfection in sound comfort even in noisy environments, and of course perfection in physical comfort. Just put them in in the morning and let them do their thing automatically regardless of what sounds are going on around you, and then just take them out at night. That’s it! We do the complicated stuff and create that perfection for you, so that all you have to deal with is simplicity and comfort. We are one of the most esteemed hearing care providers in the Mohawk Valley for a reason. Come experience the difference!

We are honored to have been nominated, and to have made it to the final voting round, for "Best Hearing Aid/Hearing Specialist Center" in the Mohawk Valley. Even though we will probably not win because we are competing with voting numbers for hearing centers in much larger populated areas such as the city of Utica, we are humbled that so many of the people we care for have made us come this far in the Best of Mohawk Valley Community's Choice Program. Regardless of how much smaller our local community is compared to the city, we take pride in being the best so that our local population can have great results without having to drive to Utica. But precisely because it is a small town, we also give you personal service with truly honest care and integrity that you just don't find in the large cities of today. Thank you all who have gotten us this far. Herkimer Hearing Aid Center, specializing in hearing loss & custom-made prescription hearing aids for over 20 years. Proudly staying local with the highest quality care.

During this past week’s snowy weather, it was good to know that you don’t have to drive to Utica to receive quality care for your hearing or your hearing aid needs. Those who pass our billboard on the way to Utica know who to trust right in Herkimer.

HIGHEST QUALITY CARE. PROUDLY STAYING LOCAL. Nothing is more rewarding than helping those who helped us in the past, especially those who mentored us as we were growing up. Now, some 30 years later, it’s become my turn to help a good number of my former schoolteachers and parents of long-ago high school friends hear well again. It truly is an honor and a responsibility we don’t take lightly. I came back to the Mohawk/Herkimer area and established this office over two decades ago, becoming one of the most reputable hearing care providers and allowing people to get the highest quality care for their hearing without having to leave the valley. Now, decades later, helping those who taught and nurtured me is truly rewarding.

We all try to save $$$ where we can. But please do not waste your hard-earned money on cheap internet hearing aid scams, or by answering to some hearing practice's marketing gimmicks featuring a 'bait and switch' cheap hearing aid coupon or claiming that they need 30 people or are giving away a $20 gift card for 'stopping in', or on over-the-counter hearing aids that claim to NOT require a comprehensive hearing test to find your exact prescription needs nor any office visits. Also don't get suckered in by some of the legitimate insurance companies' unfortunate sub-par "hearing aid benefits" that force hearing care providers to choose only from a very small array of pre-selected discount hearing aids which the insurance company has pre-determined for their plans' hearing aid benefit in order to save the insurance company money and satisfy their shareholders. There is nothing better than a custom-made prescription hearing aid created by a reputable hearing care provider containing the correct combination of microcomponents required for your individual hearing loss and your specific prescription needs, and fits perfectly and securely in your ear with no pressure points nor discomfort. All these other inferior choices are lower-priced enticements that have unfortunately become allowed by the government - basically a legal money-grab. If you or a loved one have a hearing loss, or you feel that you hear loud enough but don't understand words in conversations which in turn make you misinterpret sentences within a conversation, or the sounds and people's voices in a restaurant seem to blend together making speech impossible to understand, then come see us. The Herkimer Hearing Aid Center specializes in hearing loss and custom-made prescription hearing aids. Owner and hearing care provider Marcus Boehm is state licensed and National Board Certified and is proud to stay local offering the highest quality care. No marketing gimmicks, no false promises, no games. After a thorough hearing evaluation we simply show you what can be done and then it's up to you to see if you want to have your hearing aids custom-made to our specifications for your unique hearing loss at one of the national labs. This is a hearing care office, not a sales office with pesky salespeople who wear labcoats to look the part. At the Herkimer Hearing Aid Center, we work for YOU! We don't work to make money for some corporation. We don't work to try to fill quotas commanded by company headquarters or a national franchise. We don't work in the best interest of an insurance company to save them money by "selling you" their pre-selected discount hearing aids. We work for YOU! We work to make you hear as close to normal as your body still allows in as comfortable a manner as possible, even in noisy environments. Your satisfaction is guaranteed. Please don't waste your hard-earned money. Treat your hearing loss properly, with someone you can trust that is reputable, professional, local, and National Board Certified.

We just came back from almost-back-to-back multi-state hearing healthcare conferences. We participate in these every year so that we can stay refreshed in the hearing healthcare industry, and bring the best ideas from the best practices nationwide to our little community in Herkimer.

The multi-day hearing healthcare conference in New York is always enlightening. And during this year’s multi-day hearing healthcare conference in Florida I was able to meet and interact numerous times with Alan Lowell and Leanne Polhill, the founders and lead instructors of one of the world’s most prestigious hearing healthcare educational companies. It was great to finally meet them in person, and truly an honor to be on a first name basis with them.

Marcus Boehm BC-HIS is the founder, owner and hearing care provider at the Herkimer Hearing Aid Center. He is National Board Certified since 2006 and specializes in hearing loss and custom-made prescription hearing aids for over 20 years. The Herkimer Hearing Aid Center is proud to exceptionally serve southern Herkimer County for over two decades by staying local with the highest quality care.
