Bilateral hearing loss is a loss of hearing in both ears. Bilateral hearing loss can range from mild to severe and affects millions of people of all ages. It is very common to lose hearing in both ears.

Restarting your hearing aids will depend on the exact model and brand. For many types though, you will hold the volume button down for 3 seconds.

At Hear Well, we carry a variety of devices, including small invisible hearing aids. Invisible in the canal hearing aids sit inside your ear canal, so no one will even notice you are wearing them. Small hearing aids such as these devices are a great option for those with mild to moderate hearing loss who don’t want their hearing aids to be showing.

Yes, drinking any kind of alcohol can make the symptoms of tinnitus worse. This is because alcohol causes your blood vessels to relax and expand. When this occurs blood flow increases throughout your entire body, including your ears, which can make tinnitus louder. If you have severe tinnitus, alcohol should be avoided or consumed in low quantities.

Hearing aids have an average lifespan of 5-7 years. To get the most out of your devices, it’s important to care for them properly and to bring them in for regular cleanings and maintenance. Many hearing aid manufacturers release new hearing aid technology every 3-5 years and we have noticed many patients like to upgrade their devices sooner to take advantage of the new technology.
