Frequently Asked Questions

  • All major hearing aid manufacturers make great products. When choosing your devices, consider the different styles and features available.

  • Just as your brain adapts to hearing loss, your brain needs time to adapt to hearing aids. New hearing aids can sound “tinny” or “sharp” as you get used to hearing high pitches again.

  • Most people start getting comfortable with hearing aids within the first couple of weeks. Fully adapting to hearing aids can take several months. This process should be gradual and comfortable.

  • The more consistently you wear your hearing aids, the more you adapt to them which leads to better results. Please let us know if anything is preventing you from wearing your hearing aids all day long so that we can help.

  • Birdsong Audiology offers a 60 day return or exchange period. If you’re unhappy with your devices for any reason, we encourage you to let us know so that we can improve your experience. We want you to love your hearing aids!

  • It’s much easier to understand in a noisy place when you’re hearing clearly. If you need even more improvement in background noise, accessories that work with your hearing aids can provide additional improvement.

  • Hearing aids help you hear the sounds that you’re missing - that means they amplify soft sounds more than loud sounds. While everything might sound strange as you get used to wearing hearing aids, sound should not be uncomfortably loud.

  • Hearing aids usually whistle when they’re not fitting an ear well. A properly fit hearing aid should rarely whistle.

  • Tinnitus can be a side effect of hearing loss. In those cases, hearing aids can be really helpful for your tinnitus.

  • Hearing aids always come with a repair warranty. This warranty covers repairs needed from normal use within a certain time period (usually 3 years).

  • The life expectancy of a set of hearing aids is about 5 years, but this can vary.
