3 Incredible Devices for Hearing Protection and Enhancement That You Need to Consider
3/18/2016
Like most things in life, one never truly appreciates their hearing until it begins to fade. The brain and ears are extremely sensitive, and when your hearing begins to deteriorate, it's time to seek solutions that will help to restore it.
Fortunately, technology has been very kind to the hearing protection and enhancement industry. Now, you can find affordable digital hearing aids that perform infinitely better than the devices of yesterday. Additionally, there are custom hearing protection options that will help you protect your good hearing for years to come.
If you find it difficult to hear, have ringing ears, or just want to avoid losing your hearing, there are several amazing devices available to try. Here are just three of the many hearing protection and enhancement devices that you should consider:
- Digital hearing aids
From 2000 to 2015, the number of Americans with hearing loss has nearly doubled. This issue is becoming an epidemic, and advanced digital hearing aids are helping millions regain their full hearing. Digital hearing aids are adjusted through a computer connection and are amazingly sophisticated. If you gave up on hearing aids years ago because they were "clunky" or "uncomfortable," you need to try these new digital alternatives. - Assisted listening devices
While some may assume that hearing loss only affects older people, this couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, about one in five teens are currently suffering from hearing loss. Assisted listening devices easily connect to televisions and phones, allowing you to enjoy the simple things in life without straining to hear. - Custom hearing protection
There is no shortage of ways for you to harm your hearing, and it may have nothing to do with your passion for loud music. For example, exposure to a noisy subway for just 15 minutes a day can cause permanent damage over time. Custom hearing protection molds to fit your ear perfectly and is ideal for swimmers, musicians, and those who work in a noisy environment.
There's never been a better time to improve your hearing, and millions of people are already benefiting from these devices. If you think your hearing is beginning to suffer, schedule an appointment with a trusted audiologist to learn more about these life-changing devices.
Dr. Hinkle did a very good job explaining his findings. He spent a lot of time explaining the devices and adapting them to my hearing deficiency. I am very satisfied with Dr. Hinkle’s' office services. Nice staff. Very nice medical help. I will remain his patient. Very satisfied.
In the past I advised my sister in law to see Dr. Hinkle. She did and was satisfied. I do not hesitate to recommend Dr. Hinkle's services."

I have been very happy their service, cooperation and cheerful attitude. I would highly recommend that a friend go to their office and let Dr. Hinkle and his staff talk them through ALL the steps they should follow. I know they will not be "high pressured" into doing something they don't need. I also would tell them: 'You will like these people.'"

I am now on my second set of hearing aids and very pleased with the hearing aids and the support of Dr. Hinkle and his staff. Hearing aids are an experience but well worth the investment if you have a problem. You would be pleased with the services of Dr. Hinkle and his staff."
