Hearing aid innovations for 2018
If you’re currently in the market for hearing aids, here are few things to look out for in 2018.

  • Easy to use: Manufacturers are constantly thinking of new ways to make hearing aids more user friendly and easy to adjust
  • Sleek designs: Not only are hearing aids getting smaller, they are also getting attractive designs.
  • More innovative features: “Ear-to-ear connection between your hearing aids,” says Dr. Vietor, “is still one of the most effective tools for better speech understanding in challenging situations.” According to Dr. Vietor, devices with this type of technology will be one of the “must-have” hearing aid innovations for 2018.

Wireless connectivity

Wearable technology is the latest trend. From Fitbits to wireless headphones – and now hearing aids – modern technology has become more stylish and practical. New hearing aid technology allows wearers to connect wirelessly to other Bluetooth-enabled devices. “This means,” according to Dr. Vietor, “you can turn your hearing aids into your personal earphones and stream music to them from your smartphone.” Dr. Vietor says that the future of wireless connectivity and hearing aids looks very bright. Many hearing aid manufacturers are beginning to integrate Bluetooth technology in their devices. And as hearing aids become more sophisticated, there will be more possibilities for wireless connectivity with different devices.

Hear.com: the leaders in hearing innovations

Currently, hearing aids are not one-size-fits-all. Therefore, the solution for one person might not be the same for another person. To get the best hearing aid, you need the guidance of hearing care professionals. At hear.com, you have access to the best Partner Providers in the country and the latest hearing aids for 2018.

The affordable and convenient hearing aid – Lexie Lumen

by Guest Blogger
written by Guest Blogger

“Wonderful hearing aids, great customer support! I put off getting hearing aids for years due to the high cost of going through a doctor to get them. I tried a lot of the ‘amplifier aids’ on the market, but they just didn’t work for my hearing loss. These are real hearing aids that are customized to your hearing loss. With these, you get true, natural hearing. Very helpful and caring customer support as well.
I am so glad I decided to try these!” – Regina F.

Can you imagine a world where you sit on your couch at home, order a pair of medical-grade hearing aids online, wait 5 days for them to arrive, take a quick hearing check (this time sitting on the back porch drinking sweet tea), program your hearing aids to your hearing check results, and just like that you start hearing better? Even more so, can you imagine a world where at any time you can just video or voice call a hearing expert to ask a question, free of charge? Crazy, right?

Well, that world has become a reality….. with Lexie Hearing!

Most hearing aids are far too expensive and many people with a need for hearing aids are unable to purchase them. Let’s be honest, they shouldn’t have to suffer in silence because they can’t afford the price of hearing aids or access to hearing healthcare.

The team at Lexie Hearing knew it was time to find a way to offer consumers an excellent hearing aid that didn’t compromise on functionality and also had features that offer convenience to wearers. We selected premium hearing aids that are manufactured in the United States and developed cutting-edge technology to create a seamless and efficient user experience. The best part is, even though you need to download the Lexie app and pair your mobile phone through Bluetooth to your hearing aids, you don’t have to be tech savvy to use the Lexie app. It’s really easy to use and if you ever do get stuck, you can call a hearing expert directly through the app by voice or video call to ask for assistance. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let’s take one step back and talk to you about what exactly the Lexie Lumen hearing aid is.

Lexie Lumen Hearing Aid

  • It’s a premium, medical-grade hearing aid that is registered with the FDA.
  • It’s very small, so small in fact you’ll probably forget you’re wearing it and people will barely see it.
  • There are a number of colors for you to choose from:
      • Beige
      • Silver
      • Bronze
      • Metallic black
      • Light gray
  • It’s super comfy so that you can wear it all day.
  • Each box comes with a few dome sizes for you to choose from, so that you can find the perfect fit for your ear.

How do you get your hands on these impressive hearing aids?

– Happy customer 2 days after receiving her hearing aids

What else?

There’s so much more!

Firstly, you can purchase your hearing aids online or through the Contact Center and take a hearing check through the Lexie app. So there are no expensive visits to see a healthcare practitioner and you also don’t have to drive anywhere to purchase your hearing aids. That’s a game-changer, especially during the pandemic while we’re trying to social distance. Best yet, it’s a validated hearing check that’s been trusted by over 1 million people.

The Lexie app ensures that your hearing aids are programmed uniquely to match your hearing profile and give you the ease and comfort of being able to adjust the volume and any other settings on your hearing aids directly from your mobile phone. It also gives you the ability to video or voice call a hearing expert, bringing us to Lexie Care.

Lexie Care was developed because your experience as a customer is incredibly important to our team. We want you to get the care and support you need to successfully transition to wearing hearing aids comfortably and for long periods of time. It takes time to get used to wearing hearing aids which is why our team is there to guide you and connect with you 5 days a week from 9 a.m to 10 p.m EST. They will be able to talk to you about your hearing loss, answer any questions you have about your hearing aids, and make remote adjustments to your hearing aids.

We have a Hearing Library full of resources for you about hearing health, hearing aids, hearing loss and how to communicate with loved ones and colleagues. We’ve even included some articles for them to read so that they can give you the support and consideration you need.

Finally, and arguably the most beneficial component to Lexie Hearing customers is the Lexie Rewards program. It is a truly unique rewards program that was developed to guide and support customers from the first day of wearing their hearing aids. Through the program they can earn points when they reach their wearing goals or activity goals. These points can earn customers up to 15% discount on their monthly subscription, or they can redeem their points when they make purchases through the Lexie app.

How is it so affordable?

It’s simple really.

  • Smart tech: We managed to create an affordable hearing care program, by leveraging smart technology and a streamlined business model.
  • Remote care: exceptional quality and an outstanding customer experience are the cornerstones of the Lexie brand. We use technological developments to ensure that we meet and exceed service and quality standards, at a drastically reduced price.
  • No middleman: we’ve taken out the middleman and put customers in control of their own listening experience. They get all the benefits, without the high associated costs.

COVID19 Communication Advice to Aid Hearing Loss Sufferers

by Guest Blogger
written by Guest Blogger

With the pandemic set to continue for the foreseeable future and essential measures such as face masks and social distancing becoming a part of normal life, it’s made everyday activities more complicated for all of us. But for one group in particular the COVID19 prevention measures have caused even more disruption: those affected with hearing loss and deafness.

Lip-reading and increased speaking volume are two methods hearing loss sufferers use to aid their conversational communication; and the new regulations unfortunately impede these greatly. But there are a few helpful tips that can be taken into account when communicating with someone who’s struggling to hear. Hearing loss experts Clear Living have put these tips together into an informational graphic:

For better hearing work with an Audiologist

by Jeff Dailey
written by Jeff Dailey

When it comes to startling health statistics, here are several you may not have heard: 36 million American have a hearing loss, yet only one out of every four people who could benefit from a hearing aid actually wears one, according to the National Institutes of Health’s National Information Center on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders. Millions of Americans “miss or misunderstand” much of everyday conversation.

“People who experience hearing loss are often like Joni Mitchell’s song ‘Big Yellow Taxi,’ ” says Dr. Kathy Landau Goodman, chair of the Audiology Awareness Campaign. ” ‘You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.’ We often take our hearing for granted until we have difficulty hearing and communicating with our family, friends and coworkers. Yet searching for a quality, cost-effective solution can be confusing.”

The first step for finding the right hearing aid is to see an audiologist. Audiologists hold doctoral degrees and are uniquely qualified to evaluate hearing loss and communication needs such as hearing in noisy environments like restaurants, in business meetings, church services, lectures, or just listening to the TV or an iPod. An audiologist can prescribe, program, fit and customize a hearing aid’s high tech capabilities to improve your listening and communication experiences.

“Today’s hearing aids are quite amazing,” Goodman says. “They are natural sounding, fashionable and they work. There is no reason you should miss out on what could be the most important conversation of your life. Consumers have numerous options for purchasing hearing aids, and an audiologist can help you find the right solution for your communication challenges.”

No best model or brand

Finding the right hearing aid is not about the model or brand – or even price. While it may not be necessary to pay a lot to find the hearing technology that works well for you, keep in mind that rock-bottom-prices often come with poorer quality. It is not just about a product–being fitted with hearing aids is a process.-
Modern hearing aids are sophisticated high-tech digital devices, with capabilities and options that vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Every ear is unique. Every brain deciphers sound differently. There is no “one size fits all.” What works for your friend may not work for you. It’s important to work with an audiologist that can help you select and optimize the hearing aids to meet your needs.

Finding the right hearing professional

Having a hearing test and getting fitted for hearing aids are the next steps, but it’s also important to get counseling on how to use your hearing aids most effectively in different listening situations. You’ll need adjustments to get the settings just right, and audiologists can manage this for you. Remember, an audiologist who carries several brands is more likely to help you find the best hearing aids for your communication needs.

Your audiologist should have:

  1. Well-established credentials and all applicable licenses.
  2. Satisfied clients who are willing to give a recommendation.
  3. Courteous support staff.
  4. Convenient office hours.
  5. A convenient location.
  6. Multiple brands of hearing aids.
  7. Hearing assistive technologies such as listening devices for phones or televisions.
  8. Services beyond the sale of hearing aids, such as communication training and auditory training.

The nonprofit Audiology Awareness Campaign, which provides the public with information on hearing loss, is sponsoring the 7th annual “Listen Up America Week, National Hearing Screening Week”. In communities throughout the country, audiologists will offer free hearing screenings. Check out our selection of hearing aids here on Senior.com!

Does Medicare Cover Hearing Aids?

by Jagger Esch
written by Jagger Esch

As you get older, you start to think about your health in new ways. Things you never were too concerned about before now become a top priority. One of these things is hearing. Hearing loss is a common and sometimes frightening development that takes place as you age. Does Medicare Cover Hearing Aids?

Causes of Hearing Loss

A variety of circumstances can cause hearing loss. External causes, like long-term exposure to noise pollution, are common. Internal causes, such as genetics or illness, can also play a major role in hearing loss.

Do You Need Your Hearing Tested?

If you have noticed that you are having trouble hearing, you may need a hearing test. Sometimes, symptoms can come on very gradually, so it’s difficult to be sure. If you notice that you are asking people to repeat themselves, or that people seem frustrated that you can’t hear them, this can be an indicator before you even notice yourself. Also look for symptoms such as ringing or feeling like your ears are plugged. Keep in mind that, even if you show no symptoms now, as you age you will likely need a hearing exam at some point in your life.

Where to Buy Hearing Aids

Typically, hearing aids need to be prescribed by a doctor and can be very expensive. Thanks to the Over the Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017, hearing aids will soon be able to be bought over the counter at a more affordable price. These hearing aids are for people with mild to moderate hearing loss. The goal is to make the market more competitive so that costs for hearing aids everywhere reduce.
Until this happens, and as hearing issues progress, you will still unfortunately be paying a high cost for hearing aids if you don’t have the right coverage.

Understanding Medicare Coverage for Hearing

It is important to understand fully what you are covered for when it comes to hearing as you age. As with most Medicare coverage, Medicare covers services that they find medically necessary.

Diagnostic Hearing Exams

Routine hearing exams are not covered under Medicare. Under Medicare Part B, diagnostic hearing and balance exams can be covered if ordered by your health care provider to determine whether you need medical treatment. One example of this would be testing for the cause of vertigo or dizziness. Under these circumstances, you are still partially financially responsible. If the test is done in a hospital, the hospital copayment will be due. If the test is done outside of a hospital, the Medicare 20% coinsurance applies. Medicare supplement plans are available which will pick up these costs.

Medicare Coverage for Hearing Aids

One of the most common things people wonder about as they start to approach age 65 is Medicare coverage for hearing aids. This is because hearing aids can be very pricey. Not only are the actual hearing aids themselves costly, but the tests and exams required to determine need of the hearing aids!
Medicare does not cover hearing aids, routine hearing exams, or the exams for fitting hearing aids. This leaves a big hole in your health coverage should you just accept this fact. Fortunately, there are alternatives and supplements to Medicare insurance. However, not all of these will provide you with the coverage you need, either. Here is a breakdown of different plans you may have heard of and what hearing services they do – and don’t- cover.

Medigap

You may have heard of Medigap before. It is also commonly known as Medicare Supplement insurance. This is private insurance that supplements Medicare A and B. Many people use these plans to assist with medical out-of-pocket costs. It is important to remember that Medigap doesn’t pay for services not covered by Medicare. Instead, it pays for remaining costs that would typically be out-of-pocket for the patient.
There are ten different types of Medigap plans, and each has different benefits. None of them cover hearing aids.
These plans can still help you with hearing service costs. For Medicare Part B covered diagnostic hearing tests, Medigap will pay the 20% coinsurance. Some plans, such as Plan C and Plan F, will pay the deductible as well.

Medicare Advantage

Medicare Advantage is another option you may have heard of, and is also privately issued. It is also referred to as Medicare Part C. It provides the same benefits as Medicare Parts A and B, and in some cases additional benefits. With certain plans, hearing exams may be covered, but hearing aids are typically not covered by Medicare Advantage.

Help with Costs and Expanding Your Coverage

If you are looking to reduce your costs when it comes to hearing services, there are a few things you can do. Enrolling in a Medigap plan will help you cover out of pocket costs when it comes to doctor-ordered diagnostic hearing tests.

You can also expand your Medicare coverage by adding specialized Dental, Vision, and Hearing plans to your Medicare plan. These plans are affordable and can cover your routine hearing tests. They even sometimes cover hearing aids.

To find out what type of coverage is best for you, compare rates and plans here. You will find an easy-to-follow system and help from qualified individuals who can help guide you to the right plan.

Time to try a Hearing Aid

by Kimberly Johnson
written by Kimberly Johnson

Take back your hearing today!

According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, only one out of five people who could benefit from a hearing aid wear one. Some simply don’t know that they need one. Others associate hearing aids with their grandparents and don’t want to feel old. Time to try a Hearing Aid
But much of the stigma surrounding hearing aids rings false. Here are some of the following myths about hearing aids:

  • Hearing aids will make me look old. Modern hearing aids are sleeker, better-looking and more effective than the clunkers you remember your grandparents wearing. And nothing makes you seem old like constantly asking people to repeat themselves or speak louder. Time to try a Hearing Aid
  • Hearing aids will make me hear screeching noises. This problem, called “feedback,” is caused when the microphones in the hearing aid amplify one another. Some hearing aids offer features that prevent feedback.
  • My hearing’s not bad enough for hearing aids. Actually, it’s better to start wearing hearing aids at the first sign of hearing loss. If your brain gets used to not processing sounds, you will have a harder time adjusting when you do get a hearing aid.
  • Hearing aids won’t work for me. You may have heard friends say that they gave up on hearing aids, but that doesn’t mean the devices won’t work for you. Look for hearing aids that offer a wide range of features that might be right for different listening situations.
  • Hearing aids will make my hearing worse. A properly fitted and maintained hearing aid will not damage your hearing. Visit an audiologist to make sure you purchase a hearing aid that will work for you.

Don't Let your World Fall Silent

by Jeff Dailey
written by Jeff Dailey

Don’t Let your World Fall Silent

Don't Let your World Fall SilentLarry Crum didn’t realize how bad his hearing really was until he was hunting one afternoon with some friends. He couldn’t hear a wild boar grinding his teeth just a few yards away.
As a 44-year-old husband, father and head pastor of the First Church of the Nazarene in Rochester, Mich., Crum’s life was slowly falling silent. When he realized he couldn’t fully participate in conversations with his family and congregation members, he began to wonder what else he could be missing.
“More than 48 million Americans suffer from hearing loss, and many of those individuals are oblivious to the small details of life they’re missing out on,” says Dr. Angela Flores, director of Education and Training at Siemens Hearing Instruments, Inc. “Unaddressed hearing loss can lead to social isolation, increased anger and depression. A recent study from the U.S. National Institute on Aging shows adults who experience hearing loss may even face a greater risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.”
With the baby boomer generation reaching its greatest numbers at 77 million, our nation’s state of health is of great concern. The number of Americans struggling with hearing loss increases by the day.
Hearing aids from a generation ago carry the stigmas of being clunky, uncomfortable and ineffective. And many image-conscious Americans ignore their hearing loss because acknowledging it brings negative attention and a perceived weakness.
But hearing aid manufacturers have made significant strides in enhancing the natural performance, look and size of the latest hearing aids. Even added benefits, such as Bluetooth-enabled accessories and waterproof features, further enhance your lifestyle. Current sophisticated technology enables wearers to distinguish voices from noise and block out background sounds in crowded areas.
“Many boomers do not realize the advancements hearing aids have made,” Flores says. “Today’s devices are smaller, stronger and offer much more of a pleasant listening experience than in years past.”
For Pastor Crum, every day is filled with interactions with people, whether he’s counseling members of his congregation, conversing with passengers as he drives the youth-ministry van or visiting someone in need.
But making those connections became difficult once Crum’s hearing began to decline.
The cause of Crum’s hearing loss? Genetics mixed with a life of heavy noise exposure. He spent 12 years working in an automobile factory and has been a hunter all of his life – a costly combination.
“I struggled for years to hear the details of life – among my family, my grandchildren, members of my congregation and out within nature,” Crum says. “Conversations with my granddaughters were often difficult, not to mention conversing with my parishioners in a crowded foyer.”
Success came when Crum was fitted with a behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aid from Siemens – the Motion 701.
With Siemens BestSound Technology, Crum now enjoys the clarity he needs in communicating with his congregation and family in a variety of settings, as well as the detail he needs while hunting. A handheld remote streamer, the Siemens Tek, even offers Crum Bluetooth wireless connectivity to his television and mobile phone.
“Today’s boomers are far more active and technologically advanced than the previous generation, and many of them look to technology to both enhance their lives and solve their challenges,” Flores says. “It’s amazing to see wearers enjoy sound with their hearing aids while swimming, biking and living a fulfilling everyday life. But even still, many boomers experiencing hearing loss wait an average of seven years before getting their hearing tested.”
Prevention is by far the best option. Flores suggests turning the volume down on your television and mobile phones, wearing ear protection while mowing the lawn and in other loud environments, and having your hearing tested regularly starting at the age of 50.
For those already experiencing hearing loss, go see a hearing care professional near you to receive a pain-free audiogram and discuss your hearing aid options. According to Flores, early treatment can prevent greater loss down the road, not to mention better your life sooner rather than later.
