Not Sure Which Hearing Aid Is Right For You
With so many options out there, choosing a hearing aid can feel overwhelming. The truth is, the best hearing aid is the one that's fitted and programmed for your specific hearing loss, lifestyle, and comfort. That's where Dr. Marston comes in.
Types of Hearing Aids
Every option has its strengths. Here's a quick overview.
Behind-the-Ear (BTE)
Best for: Mild to profound hearing loss
The most versatile style. BTE hearing aids sit behind the ear with a tube that connects to a custom earpiece. Powerful, reliable, and easy to handle.
Receiver-in-Canal (RIC)
Best for: Mild to severe hearing loss
The most popular style today. RIC hearing aids are smaller than BTE, with a thin wire connecting to a tiny speaker in the ear canal. Natural sound, comfortable fit.
In-the-Ear (ITE)
Best for: Mild to severe hearing loss
Custom-made to fit your ear. ITE hearing aids are easy to insert and adjust. Good option for patients who prefer a larger, easier-to-handle device.
In-the-Canal (ITC) & Completely-in-Canal (CIC)
Best for: Mild to moderate hearing loss
Smaller and more discreet. These sit partially or fully inside the ear canal. Great for patients who want a less visible option
Invisible-in-Canal (IIC)
Best for: Mild to moderate hearing loss
The most popular style today. RIC hearing aids are smaller than BTE, with a thin wire connecting to a tiny speaker in the ear canal. Natural sound, comfortable fit.
Why It Matters Who Fits Your Hearing Aids
A hearing aid is only as good as the person who fits it. Big-box stores and online retailers sell devices, but they can't provide the personalized programming, follow-up care, and real-ear verification that make the difference between a device that sits in a drawer and one that changes your life
Dr. Marston takes the time to match your hearing aids to your specific hearing loss, fine-tune them to your environment, and adjust them as your needs change.
- Custom programming for your hearing loss
- Real-ear verification for accurate fitting
- Ongoing adjustments included
- One-week turnaround
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do hearing aids cost?
Hearing aid prices vary based on the level of technology and your specific needs. Dr. Marston will discuss all your options and help you find a solution that fits your budget. We also accept most major insurance plans.
How long do hearing aids last?
Most hearing aids last 4-7 years with proper care. We provide ongoing maintenance and adjustments throughout the life of your devices.
Can I try hearing aids before I buy?
Yes. We offer trial periods so you can experience your hearing aids in real life before making a commitment.
Do you work with specific hearing aid brands?
We work with multiple top manufacturers to find the best fit for your hearing and lifestyle. Dr. Marston is not locked into a single brand.
What's the difference between hearing aids from an audiologist vs a store?
An audiologist provides a full diagnostic evaluation, custom programming, real-ear verification, and ongoing care. Store-bought or online devices are one-size-fits-all with no professional support.
How quickly can I get hearing aids?
Most patients are fitted within one week of their evaluation.
