Hearing Aids in Houston, TX

If you think you might need a hearing aid, we’re here to help. We want to get to know you so we can better understand how hearing problems may impact your day-to-day life. We’ll also perform a hearing test; the results from this test will help us make the best treatment recommendations. If your hearing test shows a permanent hearing loss, we may recommend hearing aids.

We can show you a variety of styles of hearing aids that meet your specific needs and lifestyle. We’ll be with you every step of the way, from your evaluation and hearing test to choosing what works best for you, fitting, and adjustments.

You Hear with Your Brain, not Your Ears

Did you know you hear with your brain, not your ears? Both your ears work together to pick up sounds around you. Your ears convert sounds into nerve pulses that travel to your brain. These need as much sound detail as possible to turn these sounds into cognitive meaning. Your brain makes sense of sounds by matching them with stored sounds in your memory.

Studies have repeatedly shown that people with hearing loss have an increased risk of dementia. The good news: Wearing hearing aids can significantly reduce the risk of cognitive decline associated with hearing loss.

When you take care of your hearing health, you take care of your quality of life. According to Better Hearing, hearing loss can have both social and health care impacts. The health care impacts include things like falls, dementia, depression, and heart disease. The social impacts include memory, conversation loss, social isolations, and fatigue.

At Texas Sinus & Snoring, we’re here for you through the entire process.

Oticon More™ Hearing Aids

Oticon More™ is a revolutionary hearing aid. It is the first to feature an on-board Deep Neural Network, trained on 12 million real-life sounds. This enables you to receive a more natural representation of listening. You benefit from improved speech understanding with less listening effort and the ability to remember more, even in noisy situations.

Oticon More™ lets you enjoy easy wireless connectivity to your favorite devices. You can enjoy direct streaming from iPhone®, iPad®, and Android™ devices right to your hearing aids.

If you are looking for wireless charging, we can provide it. Oticon More miniRITE R is available in a discreet lithium–ion-based rechargeable solution. It can provide up to a full day of battery life, including streaming, after just three hours of charging.

Your Hearing Aid Fitting

After your evaluation and device selection, our audiologist will program your hearing aids. Similar to glasses, your hearing aid fitting is based on a prescription to meet your hearing needs. We will show you how to use them, insert them into your ear, and remove them. You’ll also learn how to charge them and clean them.

Many patients feel a range of emotions after putting in their hearing aids for the first time. We’re here to walk you through that process. We can make small adjustments to your hearing aids at your first fitting to make your hearing feel more comfortable.

This is also your time to ask any questions. We’re here to help you on this journey. If you’d feel more comfortable having a family member or friend accompany you to your fitting, we encourage it. Remember, your fitting is just the beginning of your journey. We can continue customizing your hearing experience over a few appointments, if needed.

It may take some time to adjust to hearing all the sounds you were missing. Studies have shown that people with a positive outlook do better with hearing aids. By working together, we know we can make the transition an easy and exciting one. We’re here to help.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between hearing aids and assistive listening devices?

Hearing aids are designed to address overall hearing loss and improve your ability to hear in all environments, while assistive listening devices are often used for specific situations, such as watching TV or talking on the phone. Both can help reduce noise, but hearing aids focus on providing a more natural listening experience. Many patients notice improved comfort and greater ease in their daily lives with the right hearing aid.

What happens during hearing evaluations?

During a hearing evaluation, our doctor and the audiology team will perform a series of tests to determine the type and degree of hearing loss you may have. We will analyze how your ears process sound and identify hearing issues that may have gone unnoticed. The results help guide treatment options, ensuring you get the best support for your hearing. Some patients initially find the testing process overwhelming, but our staff is here to guide you every step of the way and make it as comfortable as possible.

Can earwax removal lead to better hearing?

Yes! Excess earwax can block the ear canal and prevent sounds from reaching your eardrum properly. Removing impacted earwax can often restore hearing and make your ears feel more comfortable.
