Hearing Aid Features
Traditionally, hearing aids ran on one-use, disposable ‘button’ batteries. These batteries would run for certain battery life and then need to be replaced. More recently, some hearing aids have been developed to run on a rechargeable battery. These hearing aid batteries do not need to be frequently replaced but simply set on a charging station overnight to prepare for use the next day. While a rechargeable battery does come with its share of perks, it also comes with some downsides.
Many rechargeable battery packs cannot be replaced by the user but must be taken to a professional when they have hit their life expectancy. While they don’t require frequent changing, even these batteries must be replaced every few years.
Background noise reduction technology is becoming pretty standard in most hearing aids. The cost of a device will likely determine the quality of this feature. This feature is aimed at helping distinguish conversation from background noise. Extraneous noise, like wind, the clanging of dishes, or unwanted digital noise, is softened when sent down the ear canal, making these undesired sounds less potent to the listener.
One of the most advanced features of high-end hearing aids is Bluetooth connectivity. This extra feature allows your hearing aid to connect with your phone to make calls easily or with your television to watch showing more comfortably. This helps vastly with quality of life and the feeling of being involved in your environment.
Helping to select the correct style of hearing aid for an individual patient is a big decision. The most common reason, aside form poor sound quality, that a hearing aid gets put into a drawer and not worn is because the user feels that others can see the aids on. Totally customized “invisible” hearing aids are a wonderful solution for many individuals who suffer from hearing loss, but also want to feel the confidence of better hearing without the concern of being noticed by friends, family or colleagues.

“When you’re working with Southwestern Hearing Centers, you’ll experience the feeling of a locally owned company. They work hard to determine which technology and what style is going to work best for your individual needs and lifestyle. I had already tried several other hearing instruments before going to Southwestern Hearing Centers, and they didn’t compare to the quality at Southwestern.”

“I wanted to take a moment to tell you how amazing Shawn is. I have sometimes been his last appointment of the day where he has walked me out to lock up the office. I have seen people come in with emergencies or in need of products at the last minute. Though he may be on his way out the door, he will set his belongings down and stay to help his clients… No matter the number of appointments, he always keeps a positive attitude, makes sure things get done and his customers are taken care of. He bends over backwards to make sure his client’s needs are met.”

“I am so thrilled with my new hearing aids. They are absolutely wonderful! I never realized how much of my life I was missing. I’m now able to hear and participate in conversations, and at last, I can hear my TV without turning up the volume to the max, which is a big thing for me. My hearing aids also made for a more harmonious family life because I hear what they say… I can’t say enough about how happy I am.”
~ Ellisville, MO patient
Sandra
“I absolutely love my hearing aids. I can hear things I haven’t heard in… probably ever! They are very easy to put in and take out and nobody even knows I’ve got them in. My friends and family think they’re wonderful too.”
~ St. Charles, MO patient
Serafina Mesnier
“I was really impressed with how [my hearing aid] fits in my ear…it fits nicely. Like putting my glasses on, I [barely] even know it’s there…but I know it’s there because I can hear!”
~ Hampton, MO patient
Jean
“I love my new hearing aids because I can hear so well. They go in, in the morning and they don’t come out until night. I live with them and I really do enjoy them. I am very grateful that I have them. If you’re thinking about hearing aids, just go get them, don’t wait!”
~ Manchester, MO patient
Michael Torrence
“By wearing a hearing aid, I feel safer moving around in society… I can hear sirens in traffic, so I know when to pull over and when to get out of the way! I feel safer being able to hear… It’s like eyesight, it’s a very critical sense you depend on.”
~ St. Charles, MO patient
William
“I first came to Southwestern with my father-in-law to have his hearing aid repaired and found out that I couldn’t hear what they were saying, so I took a test. The specialist was superb, I found out that I needed hearing aids and they’ve been just totally awesome. You don’t know what you’re missing when you can’t hear everything clearly. My hearing aid is just perfect; I can even sit in the other room and listen to the TV if I wanted too. Southwestern is just a fantastic place. I was treated like royalty.”
~ Wentzville, MO patient
