Frequently Asked Questions
Explore our FAQs for helpful information and guidance to get answers to your most common hearing-related questions.
-
How can I recognize hearing problems?
Most of the time, hearing problems begin gradually without discomfort or pain. What’s more, family members often learn to adapt to someone’s hearing loss without even realizing they are doing it. Here are some questions to ask yourself to determine whether you have hearing loss:
-
If I think I have a hearing problem, what do I do?
You should make an appointment with a hearing professional, like an audiologist, hearing aid specialist, or ENT, for an evaluation, consultation, and hearing test. Many hearing care professionals offer this evaluation at no charge.
-
What are the most common causes of hearing loss?
There are several causes. The main ones include excessive noise, genetics, birth defects, infections of the head or ear, aging, and reactions to drugs or cancer treatment. Each type of hearing loss has different causes.
-
Doesn’t hearing loss only affect old people?
Hearing loss can occur at any time, at any age. Most people with hearing loss (65%) are younger than age 65! There are 6 million people in the U.S. ages 18-44 with hearing loss, and around 1.5 million are school-age.
-
Are there different types of hearing loss?
There are three types of hearing loss: sensorineural hearing loss, conductive hearing loss, and mixed hearing loss. Most people lose at least some degree of hearing as they age, and by the time they reach age 65 and older, one in three people has some hearing impairment.
-
Are there operations or medications I can take for hearing loss?
Only 5 percent of adult hearing loss can be improved medically or surgically. Most Americans with hearing loss (95 percent) are treated with hearing aids.
-
How do hearing aids work?
At their most basic, hearing aids are microphones that convert sound into electrical signals. An amplifier increases the strength of the signal, then a receiver converts it back to sound and channels it into the ear canal through a small tube or earmold. A battery is necessary to power the hearing aid and to enable amplification.
-
Can hearing aids help me hear people wearing face masks?
The use of face masks and social distancing is proven to reduce speech audibility, as well as eliminate important lip-reading cues. Hearing aids — and features like our Edge Mode and Mask Mode — help offset speech audibility loss in numerous ways to help make it easier to hear people who are wearing masks.
-
Are there hearing aids for single-sided hearing loss?
Yes, hearing aids are available for those with single-sided hearing loss. The Starkey CROS System delivers solutions for:
-
Where should I purchase hearing aids?
We do not recommend purchasing hearing aids online or from a big-box retailer. Hearing aids are not a one-size-fits-all type of product. Each hearing loss is unique, and to achieve the best possible results, it is recommended to consult with a hearing professional at a clinic that specializes in hearing health care.
-
How much do hearing aids cost in Omaha?
The price of a hearing aid will vary depending on the specific model and features you need, and how effective it is in various noise environments.
-
Will Hearing Aids be covered by Medicare?
Medicare does not typically cover routine hearing evaluation or hearing aids. Although in some cases, exams ordered by a physician and conducted by a licensed audiologist may be covered by Medicare Part B. Medicare
-
Is there an adjustment period to wearing hearing aids?
Yes. Most people need an adjustment period of up to four months before becoming acclimated to — and receiving the full benefit of — wearing their hearing aids. However, you should expect to notice obvious benefits during this trial period. Remember, your hearing professional is there to help. Do not be afraid to call or visit to discuss your concerns.
-
