Hearing Health FAQs
What is the difference between Medicare and Medicare Advantage?
Medicare is a federal health insurance program, primarily for individuals age 65 and older, that includes different parts covering hospital care (Part A) and medical services (Part B). Medicare allows you to see providers who accept Medicare nationwide and often requires separate plans for prescription drugs or additional coverage.
Medicare Advantage (Part C) is an alternative offered by private insurance companies that bundles hospital, medical, and often prescription drug coverage into one plan. These plans may include extra benefits and lower out-of-pocket costs but typically require you to use a network of providers and may have different rules for referrals and coverage.

How do I know which hearing aid is best for me?
Hearing aids are not a one size fits all solution; they are devices made to be tailored to you. There are many different types and styles of hearing aids available on the market. Our hearing specialist will work with you to determine which device will be best suited for your lifestyle, personal preferences, and hearing needs.
How long do hearing aids last?
On average, hearing aids have a lifespan of 3-7 years. How long they last you depends largely on how well you care for them and bring them in for regular maintenance check-ups. New technology is released every 3-5 years which is when many people like to upgrade their devices to take advantage of newer features.
Why do I hear ringing in my ears?
Ringing in the ears is medically known as tinnitus. Tinnitus is very common, affecting millions of people. Tinnitus severity can vary, forcing some people to seek solutions for relief. We offer many types of tinnitus management solutions, including Lenire, the Oto Tinnitus App, and tinnitus masking hearing aids.
How often do I need to have my hearing tested?
Adults over 50 or anyone with a known hearing loss should have their hearing tested annually, while individuals 18-49 should have their hearing tested every 3-5 years. Being proactive can help you identify hearing loss early, so you can better manage the symptoms.
