There are 7 major manufacturers of hearing aid products, and we have accounts with all of them. Brands like Miracle Ear, Beltone and Kirkland signature are just re-branded off-shoots of one of the major 7, often with some of the features stripped out of them. Over the counter hearing aids are going to be FDA approved and available to the public soon. If you have questions and want professional, medical advice about the options available to you, contact Dr. Bringewatt for a hearing evaluation and consultation today.

Inner ear injury happens gradually over extended periods of time for most patients before they feel compelled to seek treatment. Hearing loss doesn’t usually happen over night. The process of adapting to amplification with hearing aids can be difficult and overwhelming for some patients. The brain has to properly adjust to receiving the proper stimulation from the ears once again. At times, the processing ability of the auditory pathways is injured as well. We focus not on simply selling you a device, but on addressing all of the complex issues that can compound the adaption process to obtaining the maximum benefit from amplification.
