Hearing Loss SolutionsWhether you have just been diagnosed with hearing loss or are currently not hearing well with your hearing aid(s), acting early has the potential to transform your life. Explore these treatment options for hearing loss.

Hearing Aids – For those with mild to severe hearing loss. Most common treatment option. Designed to make sounds louder.

Hybrid Cochlear Implant – For those with relatively good hearing (mild hearing loss) in the lower frequencies with more significant (severe) hearing loss in the higher frequencies. Unique combination of two proven technologies—acoustic amplification and cochlear implant technology—in one device.

Bone Conduction Systems – For those with permanent conductive or mixed hearing loss and single-sided deafness. Uses your body’s natural ability to conduct sound.
