“I feel that they really care for their patients.”

“At the age of four I was diagnosed with hearing loss. I've never really considered myself part of the deaf community and I think a lot of that has to do with South Florida ENT Associates. I feel that they really care for their patients. I’ve been there for 20 something years. They’ve been a really important part of my life, my doctor has been a really important part of my life. I definitely, definitely recommend South Florida ENT.”

Quiet:

The majority of your daily interactions are with a single person, rather than large groups with heavy background noise. You enjoy quiet conversations, infrequent shopping, watching TV, seeing movies, and talking on the phone.

Essential Tiered hearing aids:

Amplify the sounds of direct conversation, while noisier backgrounds may still be challenging
Manual adjustment may be required for different types of environments
Still requires the use of your listening effort for most listening environments
Convenient rechargeability for a full day of hearing

Casual:

You are occasionally in environments with heavier background noise such as seeing friends or working in an office. You participate in meetings, small group conversations, intimate restaurant settings, and listen to lectures/sermons from a distance.

Standard Tiered hearing aids:

Allows you to hear more clearly in varied environments
Transitions between noise environments with occasional manual adjustment
Still requires the use of your listening effort for some listening environments
Convenient rechargeability for a full day of hearing

Automatically adjust to your surroundings as you transition between multiple environments.
Since the device is processing more of the environmental sounds, less listening effort is required giving YOU back more energy

Hearing Aid Styles

Receiver in Canal Behind the Ear In the Ear Completely in Canal

Receiver in Canal (RIC)

RIC (receiver in the canal) styles discreetly sit behind the ear and are considered to be more comfortable than other designs. The open design allows for a more natural sound quality.

Related Conditions:

Fits a range of hearing losses
Connects to your smartphone and other devices
Available with rechargeability and Bluetooth connectivity

Behind the Ear (BTE)

As the name suggests, BTE hearing aids sit behind the ear and are slightly larger in size than a RIC hearing aid. BTE hearing aids are connected to an earmold which delivers the sound to the ear canal.

Related Conditions:

These durable devices are typically fit to those patients with severe to profound hearing loss
They are a good option for those people with limited dexterity
Available with rechargeability and Bluetooth connectivity

In the Ear (ITE) or In the Canal (ITC)

Generally speaking, the ITE varieties are most suitable in cases of mild to moderate hearing loss. The size of the device is dependent upon the patient’s ear canal. The variations in size in these devices are accompanied by variations in features such as a directional microphone, manual controls, etc.

Related Conditions:

A good choice for those who may have trouble fitting a BTE/RIC style hearing aid
Patients with near normal low frequency hearing may experience a “plugged up” feeling known as occlusion
Some models may connect to your smartphone for technology integration

Completely in canal (CIC) / Invisible in the canal (IIC)

These hearing aids are placed inside the ear canal, making them the most well-concealed option. Often flesh-toned, these hearing aids blend well with the ear, making them an option for those looking for the most discreet hearing solution.

Related Conditions:

Almost invisible to those around you
Requires batteries that are changed frequently
This style compromises technology integration because of the small design

How Do Hearing Aids Work?

All hearing aids are designed to amplify sound to help patients with hearing loss. No matter which hearing aid you ultimately choose, they all work the same way. They are battery-powered and contain at least one microphone responsible for picking up sound, along with a computer chip that amplifies and processes that sound. From there, a speaker in the device sends a signal to your ear.

Benefits Of Hearing Aids

Your hearing is a primary sense channel that connects you to the world. Doing something about your hearing loss can have effects that are more far-reaching than you might expect.

All these things add up to helping you be more relaxed, more confident, more able to take pleasure in what life has to offer you each day. Imagine what happens when a light is turned on in a dimly-lit room. Indistinct blurs are revealed as objects of beauty, tools, or as cherished mementos. The effect is no less dramatic when your hearing is restored.

Earning power

Would it surprise you to learn that not correcting your hearing problems can cost you as much as $30,000 a year in reduced earnings? In its research, the Better Hearing Institute found that this applied even to those with mild hearing loss.

Dementia and cognitive decline

Untreated hearing loss can increase the chance that you could develop dementia. Over time, your hearing loss can begin to weaken the parts of your brain that are responsible for understanding speech, compounding your difficulties. Fortunately, correcting your hearing can slow this process.

Tinnitus

Are you bothered by constant ringing in your ears? In addition to being irritating, this can contribute to stress. A hearing aid can address this problem.

More colors in the rainbow

You probably don’t know how many sounds have disappeared from your life – birdsong, the wind, laughter, rain, and more. What would it mean to bring them back?

Social interaction

Regain the ability to enjoy interacting with others, whether in personal situations or as part of a group. You may even find you start making new friends due to losing your reluctance to start a conversation.

Choosing the Right Hearing Aid for You

Before selecting a hearing aid in Miami or one of our Southern FL offices, you will first need a medical and audiological examination – both of which can be done at SFENTA. During your appointment, your doctor will evaluate your ear, nose, and throat to rule out underlying medical conditions that may be responsible for your hearing challenges, such as an infection, injury, earwax impaction, or tumor. An audiologist will then assess your hearing to determine the type and extent of your hearing loss.

From there, you will have the opportunity to select a hearing aid that suits your needs. It should be convenient and easy to use, and you’ll want it to provide the best compensation for your hearing challenges. You’ll also want to consider the manufacturer’s warranty, estimated repair costs, upgrade opportunities, and the company’s reputation. Your SFENTA™ physician will review all of these factors with you during your appointments to help you choose the hearing instrument that’s right for you.

Who Needs a Hearing Aid?

The only way to get a definitive assessment of the state of your hearing is to be examined by an ENT physician. Here are some things that you could be experiencing if you are suffering from hearing loss:

Conversation

When you’re part of a group, it’s challenging to keep up with what’s being said.
Conversations have become an uncomfortable nuisance instead of being a pleasure because you have so much trouble understanding them.
You can’t understand what’s being said if someone attempts to speak to you from another room or speak softly.
You need to see someone’s face to fully hear what they are saying to you.

Social Situations

When you’re at meetings, at the movies, in church, etc., you have trouble following what’s going on.
Your idea of “normal” radio or television volume is noticeably louder than what is acceptable to others.
You find yourself shying away from personal conversations, social gatherings, public events, etc. because your hearing difficulties make them less enjoyable or even embarrassing.
It seems that more people than ever “mumble” when they are speaking to you.
