FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About ReSound Hearing Aids

ReSound hearing aids are available in three technology levels: Level 5 (Standard), Level 7 (Advanced), and Level 9 (Premium). Each technology level offers a distinct set of features tailored to different hearing needs and lifestyles. These levels are consistent across ReSound’s major product lines, including OMNIA, Nexia, Vivia, and ONE.
Adjusting your ReSound hearing aids can be done either manually using the device’s buttons or digitally through the ReSound Smart 3D app, which offers a comprehensive suite of customization options. Most ReSound hearing aids come equipped with physical controls for quick adjustments. For more personalized control, the ReSound Smart 3D app also offers adjustment options. If you need assistance with specific features or encounter any issues, feel free to ask the friendly audiologists at Austin Hearing Aid Center.
The typical lifespan of a completely new hearing aid is 5 years. Largely, it depends on how well you take care of your hearing aids. Some patients will decide to upgrade their hearing aids prior to this time, as newer technology is routinely released and may provide greater benefits. An audiologist will be able to guide you in deciding when an upgrade is necessary.

What People Say?

He loves helping people hear better and have had the pleasure to serve many people for years.
Bill Rudolph, the founder and clinical audiologist of this business, is the nicest guy you will ever meet--and impressed me as being the most knowledgeable and professional hearing and hearing aid service provider I've come across in Austin. I am a PA to a retired college professor, and I brought him here because we'd had such terrible (and frankly, greedy) service at New Sounds Hearing. When I told Bill how much money my boss has practically flushed down the drain with this other company, and how much they wanted to charge him for a single lost device (almost $4,000.00-for ONE hearing aid), he knocked off a big chunk of his bill, and my boss got a new pair of very high tech hearing aids for less than the cost of a single one at New Sounds.

Mr. John Smith
I was looking for good quality audio batteries for my lapel microphones. I talked with Dr. Rudolph about the LR44 battery. Although they don't carry the LR44, they DO carry a compatible replacement, the 675 which will give me longer recording life than the LR44s I was using! Needless to say I am EXTREMELY SATISFIED with the attention and service I received today over something as small as a box of batteries. Dr. Rudolph is an order of magnitude better than any big box audiologist just wanting to make a sale. I didn't need anything to do with hearing aids, I needed help from someone who knew about hearing. I got that, I learned something, and got great service!

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

An audiologist is a licensed healthcare professional with a clinical doctorate or masters degree in Audiology. They are trained to evaluate, diagnose and treat hearing loss and other auditory conditions including balance disorders and tinnitus (ringing in the ears). Audiologists provide valuable insight and recommend products to help manage and prevent hearing loss, including hearing instrument technology and hearing protection.
Audiologists perform the following hearing tests and treatments:
  • Diagnostic hearing tests
  • Annual hearing evaluations
  • Hearing aid fittings, programming and consultations
  • Earmold and earplug fittings and consultations
  • Dizziness and balance testing and treatment
  • Hearing aid repairs, service, and maintenance
  • Pediatric hearing loss detection and treatment
  • Hearing loss prevention and protection programs
  • Aural rehabilitation/Hearing rehabilitation and auditory training
  • Custom musicians earplugs and in-ear- monitors
  • Tinnitus treatment programs for ringing and buzzing in the ears
  • Sound therapy and counseling
  • Cochlear implant candidacy evaluations and implant programming
The onset of hearing loss often happens gradually, so it might be hard to detect in the early stages. In most cases, people close to or usually around the person with undiagnosed hearing loss are the ones who can notice the hearing problems first. It is important to have an annual hearing evaluation, in the same way it is recommended to have an annual physical, teeth cleaning and eye exam. If you or someone you know exhibits the following symptoms, consider consulting an audiologist:
  • Perception that people are mumbling when speaking to you
  • Constantly asking people to repeat themselves
  • Playing the TV or radio louder than the volume level that others around you enjoy
  • Missing the doorbell or the telephone
  • Missing environmental sounds, such as birds chirping, your car turn signal and microwave beepings
  • Hearing a ringing sound in your ears, especially when it is quiet

Hearing loss can be caused by several factors including exposure to loud noises, aging, ear infections, head or ear trauma, medications, congenital or genetic factors, diseases, and a number of other causes.

The most common cause of hearing loss (acquired) is exposure to loud noise. Hearing can be protected by wearing suitable hearing protection like ear plugs or ear muffs.

Hearing loss is diagnosed through a hearing evaluation conducted by an audiologist. Through a hearing test or diagnostic audiologic evaluation, an audiologist will determine the type and degree of hearing loss. The sensitivity, acuity and accuracy of speech understanding will also be evaluated in a hearing test.

A hearing evaluation covers a thorough case history and a physical inspection of the eardrum and the ear canal. Additional tests may also be performed depending on the symptoms. If an audiologist assesses that the hearing loss may benefit from medical intervention, a patient will be referred to a physician.

The results of a hearing test are plotted on a chart called an audiogram. Hearing level (HL) is measured in decibels (dB) and is presented in general categories as follows:

Normal hearing (0-25 dB HL)

Mild hearing loss (26-40 dB HL)

Moderate hearing loss (41-70dB HL)

Severe hearing loss (71-90 dB HL)

Profound hearing loss (greater than 90 dB HL)

Hearing loss is categorized into three types, each caused by different factors and requires different levels of hearing aid technology.

Sensorineural hearing loss

Sensorineural hearing loss occurs when there is a problem with the auditory nerve or the inner ear, specifically damage to the nerve fibers or hair cells of the auditory system. This is the most common type of hearing loss in adults. The most common causes of sensorineural hearing loss are noise exposure and age-related changes. A disturbance in the circulation of the inner ear may also result in hearing loss. Fortunately, there are numerous options for patients with sensorineural hearing loss.

Conductive hearing loss

Conductive hearing loss is linked to problems in the middle or external ear. With conductive hearing loss, sound is not conducted efficiently through the ear canal, eardrum or middle ear bones, resulting in the reduction of hearing. This may be caused by earwax blockage or other obstruction in the ear canal, perforation in the eardrum, middle ear fluid, middle ear infection, or other disease of the middle or inner ear. If you are diagnosed with conductive hearing loss, you may benefit from hearing aids, medication, medical implants, or surgical options.

Mixed hearing loss

When there are problems in both the middle and inner ear, the diagnosis will be a mixed hearing impairment. Since mixed hearing loss links both conductive and sensorineural hearing loss, treatment options will depend on the nature of the impairment and the symptoms.

Hearing loss can occur at any time in life from factors such as genetics, ear infections, head trauma or certain medications. If you suspect the following symptoms or behaviors in your child, you may need to consult with an audiologist:

-Failed newborn hearing screening

-Delays in speech and language acquisition (i.e no babbling)

-Frequent ear infections

-No startling reaction to loud sounds

-No response or turning to the source of loud sounds after six months of age

-Difficulty following verbal directions

-Short attention span

Any symptom of hearing loss in children should be addressed right away so as not to hamper or delay speech, language and cognitive development as a whole.

There are many different types of hearing aids in the market today, ranging from style, technology, features and design.

Aside from considering the style of the device, you need to consider the features that would be most beneficial to you and applicable to your lifestyle. From waterproof options, directional microphones, telecoils, and Bluetooth technology, there will surely be something for everyone.

Hearing aids are also available in different styles and sizes, and thanks to the advancements and innovations in technology, hearing aids are getting smaller without compromising power.

When selecting a style of hearing aid, the following should be considered:

-Type/degree of the hearing loss

-Power requirements

-Manual dexterity and visual abilities

-Budget

-Aesthetics

-Anatomical and medical considerations

-Lifestyle requirements

People with any type and degree of hearing loss may benefit from an assistive listening device. Since the microphone of a standard hearing aid is either worn on or behind the ear, the ability to enhance the speaker-to-background-noise ratio may become limited. This is where ALDs enter the picture, as they are designed to increase the loudness of a desired sound, such as a public speaker, TV, or radio, without necessarily increasing the background noise.

ALDs include TV listening systems, alarm clocks, telephone amplifying devices, and auditorium-type assistive listening systems. Newer ALDs are small, wireless and compatible with digital hearing aids.

Tinnitus, often referred to as ringing in the ears, is a common disorder affecting more than 50 million people in the United States. Some people experience tinnitus as a roaring, hissing, whistling, buzzing, or clicking sound in the ear.

Technically, tinnitus is not the actual disease, but a symptom of another underlying medical condition of the ear or affected by another influencing health factor. Tinnitus can be constant or intermittent, with single or multiple tones. The perceived tinnitus volume can range from extremely loud to very soft.

American Tinnitus Association: https://www.ata.org/

The exact cause of tinnitus is not known. However, there are a wide variety of factors linked to tinnitus that include:

  • Noise-induced hearing loss
  • Age-related hearing loss
  • Wax build-up in the ear canal
  • Certain medications
  • Ear or sinus infections
  • Ear diseases and disorders
  • Jaw misalignment
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Certain types of tumors in the neck or head area
  • Thyroid disorders
  • Head and neck trauma

Treatment will vary based on the severity and underlying condition of the tinnitus. There are several treatments to manage the perception of unwanted noise which include:

  • Hearing aids with tinnitus-masking features
  • Tinnitus retraining therapy
  • Sound therapy
  • Avoidance of certain medications
  • Behavioral therapy

There are various types of hearing healthcare professionals in the industry, varying in terms of education and training.

A hearing instrument specialist and an audiologist are two of the most in-demand professionals when it comes to seeking treatment or advice for hearing loss. To better understand and select which professional is best for your case, here’s the difference between the two –

Audiologist

An audiologist has a degree in audiology and is trained to diagnose, treat, and monitor disorders of the hearing and balance system. Audiologists are well-versed and trained in handling amplification devices, cochlear implants, acoustics, electrophysiology, auditory rehabilitation and psychophysics.

At a minimum, Doctors of Audiology complete an undergraduate and doctoral level degree in audiology. They also undergo a supervised externship prior to state licensure and national certification. Continuing education requirements must be completed so audiologists can maintain state licensure.

For people with hearing loss, balance problems and auditory issues, an audiologist is the most qualified professional that can provide proper diagnosis and treatment.

Hearing instrument specialist (HIS)

A hearing instrument specialist is licensed to conduct audiometric testing to fit and sell hearing aids. To get a license, a hearing instrument specialist needs to take a certification program in hearing aids, complete training hours in the relevant field and pass an exam.

Hearing instrument specialists can fit and repair hearing aids. However, they cannot diagnose or treat hearing loss.
