Hearing Aids

Today’s hearing aids are highly advanced, yet they are subtle enough that they are hardly noticeable in the ear. At Hearing Innovations, our Board Certified Doctors of Audiology will work with you to determine the hearing aids that best meet your needs, budget, and lifestyle. Pricing starts at under $1000 and there are many options to choose from, including the all-new built-in Bluetooth connected hearing aids.

After we perform a series of tests to determine your hearing abilities, we will create a hearing aid prescription for you. During a hearing aid consultation, we will help you pick the best hearing aids for your hearing loss and ear anatomy. Using an impression of your ear, we are able to customize your hearing aids to fit comfortably and snugly. We can also make adjustments and program special features as necessary, and will teach you how to insert, remove, and take care of your hearing aids so that they last for years to come.

Types of Hearing Aids

Receiver-in-the-Canal (RIC) Hearing Aids

A RIC hearing aid is similar to the BTE model in that the case rests behind the ear. However, the RIC consists of a super thin wire that carries sound to a speaker that fits comfortably inside of the ear canal. This type of hearing aid is barely noticeable and is perfect for being able to tune out background noise and amplify speech. Using bluetooth technology, RIC hearing aids can be connected to your phone, tablet, or car if you choose, and they feature several programming feature options that we can help you navigate.

Completely-In-the-Canal Hearing (CIC) Aids

Are you looking for a hearing aid that is virtually invisible? IC hearing aids are the smallest, most subtle choice, as they fit right inside of the ear canal. Or, choose a Completely in the Canal (CIC) hearing aid, which is so small it can fit deep inside of the canal, nearer to the eardrum. This type of hearing aid is best for patients who have mild to moderate hearing loss.

In-the-Canal (ITC) Hearing Aids

ITC hearing aids are designed for patients with varying severity of hearing loss. This aid is custom-made to fit snugly inside of the lower portion of the outer ear, so that it stays in place. Your Audiologist will work with you to select a color that matches your skin tone to ensure cosmetic preference. ITC hearing aids have several programmable features, and we can help you determine which features will work best for you.

Behind-the-Ear (BTE) Hearing Aids

These types of hearing aids are highly versatile, in that they are popular among patients of all ages with all types of hearing loss. As the name suggests, the casing of this hearing sits behind the ear, where it is hardly noticeable, especially on patients with longer hair. The earmold is designed to fit comfortably inside of the ear canal, significantly enhancing your hearing ability. You can also choose the color for your earmold, such as tan, pink, and clear, to make it even more discreet. We can program your BTE hearing aids to meet your specific needs.

Hearing Aid Repairs & Services

Our team is trained to offer a wide range of hearing aid services. Minor hearing aid issues can be repaired in office, and if your hearing aids have more significant damage, we can send them to the manufacturer to be fixed for you. We also recommend our patients come in for routine hearing aid maintenance twice a year. This includes a cleaning and testing of your hearing aids. Hearing Innovations will warranty most hearing aid brands in office.

Assistive Listening Devices

Assistive listening devices (ALDs) can be used by themselves or in conjunction with hearing aids or cochlear implants. These devices are particularly useful in helping users pick up and better hear speech and other sounds while decreasing background noise. There are many different types of ALDs, and most of them use a microphone in order to carry sound to either an FM, infrared or induction loop transmission. If you are having trouble separating important sounds from background noise, our providers can help you in choosing an ALD that works for you.

If you are struggling with hearing loss, hearing aids can help you restore your hearing and ability to enjoy life.

Patient Testimonials

“I am always impressed with the service I receive at Hearing Innovations. I have been a patient for over 40 years and never once thought of going elsewhere because of Dr. Hagberg, Dr. Branham and the staff’s superb commitment to providing great service in providing me with any hearing issues I need. I am a very satisfied patient. and will continue to be.”
- Jeff L.
“Visiting ‘Hearing Innovations’ is one of the best things I’ve ever done in my life! I’m very pleased with my AGX9 hearing devices. It improved my hearing instantly. They are comfortable to wear and simple to use. The nice thing is I don’t have to make any adjustments because it does this automatically for me. I can clearly hear the microwave going off, television, telephone and even the voice of someone talking to me from behind. It is so nice to be able to enjoy conversation with my friends without missing details. Thank you, Dr. Branham!”
- Kyoko W.
“Thank you, Dr. Branham, for opening up my world! The AGX Technology is truly phenomenal! I never realized how much I was missing (or misunderstanding) in conversations, lectures, church, movies, etc. My confidence level is up and I am a much happier person. Also- a new fun level of life has opened up. I love hearing my cats crunching their food and lapping up their milk; telling my husband to “turn the tv volume down” and snapping at him that “I heard you the first time!” And- A good friend made me feel so good the other day when she told me my speech has improved. Again- thank you!”
-Dusty G.
“What a pleasant surprise the AGX Hearing System is. After hearing all the tales from people who had the older aids and hated them, the new ones are small and barely visible. After they’re set up, the don’t need to be constantly adjusted. Dr. Branham does a fine job explaining how they work.”
-Harold H.
“I would like to thank Hearing Innovations for improving my life! I recently purchased a set of hearing aids and am very pleased with the service and product that I received. The staff is very professional and always treats me with respect. I was very pleased with the time and explanation given to me about the care and use of the hearing aids. Occasionally I have a question or concern and all staff members are polite and work until I’m satisfied. Since I am wearing my new hearing aids, I am less stressed. My blood pressure has even dropped!! I highly recommend Hearing Innovations because they have provided me with the utmost care and service.”
-Agnes R.

Customer Reviews

“The doctors at Hearing Innovations are very educated in their profession and I was impressed to see that you are all ‘Board Certified.’ Now, I must let you know that I would be glad to tell anyone that may be considering hearing aids that my decision to get them was one of the best things I have done for myself. It is so nice to be able to hear in a crowd or hear what someone is saying to me when they are in the back seat of my car. It is also nice not to be embarrassed by always saying “what.” These are just a few of the many nice things that have come out of getting hearing aids. Thank you, Hearing Innovations!! If you ‘hear’ there is someone out there talking about you, just know that it is me letting everyone know just how WONDERFUL you are.”

Google Reviews

“After a bad experience with another hearing aid company I was skeptical and cautious about spending the money. I asked for a months free trial which they agreed to. I received the hearing aids and it was a miracle what I could hear. After only one day I told them I don't need the other 29 days. No regrets! Best company to deal with! Very professional and kind!”
- Harold W, New Middletown
“Of course I was nervous walking in the front door, but the waiting-room receptionist was polite, calming and took time to explain what I was signing. Once in a treatment room, I was greeted with a firm hand shake and a warm smile from Dr, Durrant. I could tell fairly quickly Dr. Durrant cared about, not only my audiology, but how treating my audiology fits with my specific lifestyle, which included doing nothing further than establishing a base-line. I would recommend Dr Durrant to anyone who has interest/concerns of knowing more about any audiology issues confronting them.”

Thanks so much!”
