Personalized hearing care isn’t just about the device—it’s about the care that comes with it

Personalized Hearing Care: Why It Matters

by | Sep 4, 2024 | Hearing Aids

In today’s fast-paced world, the value of personalized service often gets overshadowed by the appeal of convenience and low prices. This is particularly evident in the realm of hearing care, where large retailers offer quick, transactional experiences that can seem enticing at first glance. 

However, when it comes to something as crucial as your hearing health, the benefits of individualized, patient-focused care provided by specialized clinics like AVI New England cannot be overstated. 

The Difference Between Transactional and Personalized Hearing Care 

The Transactional Experience: Large Retailers

Retail giants like Costco have made names for themselves by offering hearing aids at competitive prices. The process is straightforward: you get tested, get fitted, and walk out with a new set of hearing aids, often all within the span of an hour. The convenience is undeniable, but this quick, transactional model comes with significant drawbacks. 

The pace at such retailers is relentless. Testing and fittings are completed rapidly, and patients are often sent off with minimal guidance on how to use and care for their new devices. Follow-up appointments are rare, and when they do occur, they can be months away. This lack of personalized care can lead to frustration, improper use of hearing aids, and, ultimately, a higher rate of returns. 

The focus at large retailers is often on volume—moving as many hearing aids as possible with little time for the nuanced adjustments that many patients need. As a result, individuals with complex hearing issues, such as tinnitus or single-sided deafness, often find that their needs are not adequately addressed. 

The Personalized Approach: AVI New England

In contrast, specialized clinics like AVI New England offer a patient-focused approach that prioritizes your unique hearing needs. Here, the goal isn’t just to sell you a hearing aid; it’s to ensure that you receive the best possible care and that your hearing aids are perfectly tailored to your lifestyle and hearing challenges. 

Appointments are longer and more comprehensive. The team takes the time to conduct thorough assessments, explain the results, and discuss the best options for you. But the care doesn’t stop once you leave with your new hearing aids. Follow-up visits are scheduled to fine-tune the devices, address any issues, and provide ongoing support to ensure that you’re getting the most out of your investment. 

Why Personalized Hearing Care Matters 

1. Tailored Solutions:

Hearing loss is not a one-size-fits-all issue. Personalized care means that your hearing aids are customized to your specific hearing profile, ensuring better sound quality and comfort. 

2. Ongoing Support:

Hearing aids require adjustments over time. Personalized care includes regular follow-up appointments to tweak settings and ensure your devices are functioning optimally. 

3. Comprehensive Care:

The focus is on your overall hearing health. This means addressing related issues like tinnitus, offering advanced solutions like Roger systems, and educating you on how to protect and improve your hearing. 

4. Quality of Life:

Properly fitted and adjusted hearing aids can significantly improve your quality of life, from improving communication with loved ones to enhancing cognitive health and reducing social isolation. 

5. Long-Term Investment:

While large retailers may offer lower upfront costs, the long-term value of personalized care is unmatched. By investing in tailored solutions and ongoing support, you ensure that your hearing aids will serve you well for years to come. 

The Importance of Choosing the Right Care 

The decision between choosing a large retailer and a specialized clinic like AVI New England often comes down to understanding the true value of personalized care. It’s not just about the device itself; it’s about the expertise, support, and care that come with it. 

When you choose AVI New England, you’re not just buying a product—you’re investing in your hearing health and overall well-being.

Dr. Natan Bauman

For more than 40 years, I have had the honor and opportunity of helping thousands of local, national, and international people to achieve a better life through better hearing. As an audiologist and electronic engineer, I have changed the course of the hearing aid industry by inventing the Receiver-In-The-Canal, the most widely used hearing aid in the world. Additionally, I established a tinnitus and sound over-sensitivity clinic and developed a special treatment program which I have been teaching to other practitioners nationally and internationally. Our practice follows the key principles that have defined my career: an adherence to best practices, use of the latest technologies, and personalized care in which the patient is treated as family.
