Four Important Questions to Ask Before Purchasing Hearing Aids

Question One: Are you an audiologist or a hearing aid dispenser?
Answer: Both types of professionals can evaluate your hearing and fit hearing aids, but their training varies significantly. Audiologists must have a doctoral or master's degree, pass national and state exams, and have more than 1000 hours of clinical training before they graduate. Hearing Instruments Specialists generally have from 6 months to 2 years of supervised training or a two-year college degree and in some states must pass a licensing test. All of our providers that specialize in hearing aids are audiologists.

Question Two: Do you dispense multiple brands of hearing aids?
Answer: There are six major manufacturers of hearing aids. It is important when choosing a hearing health care provider to choose one, which offers multiple brands and models so that you can find the right hearing aid for your needs. At Capitol Ear, Nose and Throat, we offer all six major manufacturers of hearing aids.

Question Three: Do you offer a trial period?
Answer: Yes. We offer a thirty-day trial period with several post-fitting check ups during the thirty-day period.

Question Four: Is your office affiliated with an ear doctor?
Answer: Going to a medical practice allows for a thorough evaluation and having doctor’s evaluation can rule out medical conditions that might be affecting your hearing. At Capitol Ear, Nose and Throat, we have seven highly qualified otolaryngologists that work closely with our audiologists to ensure a thorough evaluation.
