What makes buying hearing aids from Broadwater Hearing Care different than going online, a warehouse club, or drug store? This is probably the most common question asked by my patients. Believe me when I say, I understand. Hearing aids are a big investment and you want to make sure you’ve done your research. However, I explain to my patients that the job of an audiologist is not to “sell a product”. My goal is to help you improve your quality of life by hearing your best...and one of … [Read more...]

Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids
There has been a lot of information in the news about over-the-counter hearing aids. While this may be a good idea for some, most people who need hearing aids really need the help of an audiologist to get the most out of their devices. A hearing test that you complete online in your kitchen is not going to be as accurate as a test done in the proper environment by a professional trained to test hearing. It does make a difference. You may not be saving any money. The prices of online … [Read more...]
Get Help When You Need It
The Importance of Getting Help When You Need It We had a patient that had been wearing hearing aids for several years. They really hadn’t helped her enough for the last two years, but she had put off getting new hearing aids because she was getting by. Not hearing great, but hearing better than without her hearing aids. This February, she decided that it was finally time to replace her old hearing aids. I was happy that she was able to hear well and she was thrilled that she could hear so … [Read more...]

For adults with any kind of hearing loss, these are all good indicators that you may not be hearing as well as you used to. You may experience all or … [Read more...]
Does COVID-19 cause hearing loss?
Does COVID-19 cause hearing loss or tinnitus (noises in the ears)? As a Doctor of Audiology I make time to stay up to date on new and emerging data regarding COVID-19 and its effects on the auditory system. At the present moment, there is no formal data that suggests contracting COVID-19 leads to hearing loss or tinnitus. However, I have seen how tinnitus can be exacerbated by factors such as stress, lack of sleep, and unhealthy diet- all of which occurred during the pandemic. Did you … [Read more...]
