Hearing Aids at Western Hearing Clinic
We carry the latest hearing technology for any hearing need.
Hearing Aids
Hearing aids today pack quite a punch. Small, wireless, and discreet, these tiny devices can hook up to your phones, your doorbells, and even the internet. This feature allows you to stream music wirelessly to your ears or take phone calls. We also offer automatically adjusting devices. These adjust to your environment and change their settings accordingly, letting you relax and enjoy the amazing sound hearing aids bring you.
There’s also no more squealing or irritation. Older hearing aids sent sound down a tube which then reached your ear. New hearing aids have the speaker directly inside your ear allowing for better sound and more comfort. Also called RIC’s, this style of hearing aid is extremely versatile and can be fit, adjusted for sound and fit right in our office without and delay.
Molded hearing aids are molded to the shape of your ear and allow for the utmost comfort. These devices are inserted entirely into your ear without anything behind the ears. This is a great option from someone who has power needs, issues with low and mid frequency hearing loss, or someone who likes to have nothing behind their ears.
Some hearing aids are designed to be extremely water and dirt resistant.
Hearing Aid Technology
We believe it is important to stay ahead of the latest trends and technology in the hearing industry so we can continue to provide our patients with the expert care they deserve. We attend trainings on the latest hearing aid technology so we can continue to offer you the best possible hearing healthcare experience.
We are excited to offer the newest hearing aid technology from Signia: The Signia AX. The Signia AX will change the way you hear the world by using augmented hearing. With a revolutionary split processing chip, the Signia AX uses two independent processors to help you hear better, even in the most complex listening environments. Sounds will be crisper and clearer while background noise is kept in the background.
Try the Signia AX for yourself.

Hearing Aid Brands
We carry all brands with a proven track record. We don’t use our patients as guinea pigs. We also offer the most products and have no contracts to offer just one manufacturer allowing us to fit our patients with something we know works and something that works well. As we carry most major brands of hearing aids, the sky is the limit. Most of the companies we offer have rechargeable options as well as wireless capabilities. Our ReSound hearing aids can even be adjusted by our providers remotely or from the comfort of your home, giving us even more access to our patients and allow you more flexibility.
We work closely with each patient to determine what the best style and options are to meet their needs.
Repair and Maintenance
After you are fit for hearing aids, we will schedule a few follow-up visits to make sure you are doing well and are happy with your new hearing aids. We encourage our patients to visit us twice a year after the initial fitting and follow ups so that we can deeply clean their hearing devices and do some fine tuning. This ensures that the hearing aids are working properly and that your investment lasts for a long time.
Zinc Batteries
Batteries no longer contain mercury, but rather zinc. Zinc needs to react with the oxygen in the air to be able to charge up and activate your battery. This is why hearing aid batteries have stickers on them. When you remove the sticker the zinc in the battery reacts with the oxygen in the air which you have allowed to reach the zinc by taking off the sticker or “tab” on the battery exposing tiny air holes.
FEATURED TECHNOLOGY: The Oticon More™
The Oticon MoreTM is a new perspective in hearing care. This hearing aid is designed to work more like the brain does because it learned through experience. Using On-board Deep Neural Network (DNN) the Oticon MoreTM gives the brain more of the information it needs to make sense of sounds, even in the most complex listening environments. Research has proven that the brain needs access to all sounds – not just speech – in order to function in a natural way. Using MoreSound Intelligence, Oticon MoreTM delivers 30% more sound to the brain, making speech and other sounds clearer*.
With the Oticon MoreTM you will be able to enjoy, follow, and engage in conversations easier than before. You won’t have to strain to hear anymore, the Oticon MoreTM will do all the work while providing you with crystal clear sound. This hearing aid also features a new amplification system that seamlessly adapts to the sound scenes you spend the most time in. Experience more out of life with the Oticon MoreTM.
Additional features include:
• 3-hour rechargeable solution
• New MoreSound Amplifier
• Direct connectivity to iPhone and Android devices
• DNN technology to support BrainHearing
