Hearing Aids Let's explain how a hearing aid works briefly. Take the guitar which string you plucked earlier. Plug it into an amp and a speaker. Pluck the string again. This time the sound is louder and clearer. A hearing aid works much the same. A microphone picks up the sound and delivers it to an amplifier. The amplifier makes the sound louder and continues delivering the sound to a receiver (speaker). The receiver sends out the sound and you hear it much better then you would without it. Hearing Healthcare of Virginia offers a wide range of hearing aid choices. We identify the patient's amplification requirements. Then select the instrument for the patient's needs and lifestyle. Our ability to offer a wide range of choices, including digital and programmable technology, ensures our patients receive the maximum benefit from their hearing instruments. Hearing Healthcare of Virginia performs computerized real ear measurements. These measurements allow us to verify that the hearing aids are providing the correct amount of amplification. We can also evaluate any hearing aids presently in use and can arrange for any repairs when necessary. Our Complete Hearing Aid Health Care Program Our Complete hearing aid health care program provides a comprehensive range of services at NO ADDITIONAL COST.
Shooters Protection: We offers two different types of custom hearing protection, non-amplified and amplified ear plugs. Non-amplified hearing protection limits the level of incoming sounds to safe levels of 90dB or lower, preventing permanent hearing damage. Amplified hearing protection adds convenience to those who already have impaired hearing. Our amplified hearing protection limits the level of sound coming into your ear to a safe 90dB, while still amplifying normal sounds below a 9dB. This will allow you to shoot safely and hear speech and the surrounding noises of nature.
