Confidently Hear

Again at home, in restaurants, while watching tv and movies

in 12 Weeks

Our Hearing Wellness Plan is designed to guide you and allows you to start acting smarter and more involved in the conversation at the very first appointment.  You'll find that you can stop worrying about people noticing that you’re wearing hearing aids or that you'll have to spend too much money.

If you're the average person who's struggling to hear and looking to reduce stress, improve listening abilities, and have more energy, then you probably already know that you need to wear hearing aids.

Hey there!

Whether you’re a working professional, stay at home mom or someone who retired from actively working, I'm sure you've heard all of this before.

So, I'll spare you the spiel.

No need to be a broken record and convince you of something that’s already been drilled deep into your consumer's mind.  After all, you probably already KNOW that hearing better is the key tipping point that will allow you to use less energy to engage in conversations, improve your mental health, and possibly reduce your chances of developing dementia.

You probably already heard that there are some links between untreated hearing loss with depression as well as dementia.

I'm here to help you lessen these risks.  I'd love to work with you!

Warm regards,

Dawn Heiman, AuD

Here's What You Might Not Know About

Even if you’re lucky enough to have a family member repeat things for you, hearing aids can...

Make You Feel More Confident

Even if you feel fine and happy now, once you have successfully been properly fitted with hearing aids can change your perception and authority of conversations skyrockets, allowing you to quickly jump into conversations and engage with others.

Significantly Boost the Number of Places You Can Hear 

It’s invaluable to correctly hear, and understand, someone at the bank, store and doctor’s office.  Miscommunication about your health and finances can lead to detrimental side effects, which could be avoided.

Help You Be Happier

Hearing loss can lead to social isolation and depression.  

Being involved in activities with others and leading conversations with friends and family helps us connect.  And it's an added bonus when we are able to learn about their latest exciting adventures . Priceless.

Even though the reasons to go see an audiologist and start wearing hearing aids are a complete no brainer, the process involved in actually doing it is ANYTHING BUT.

Ready for hearing aids? AWESOME. 

But where do I start?

Perhaps in your most courageous moments you've made the commitment to schedule an appointment.

You’ve researched hearing aids and clinics online, asked your friends and family their opinions, chosen a place to go, gotten all giddy over what benefits hearing better will bring, and maybe even started talking about how great it will be to hear better.

If you’re super committed, maybe you researched your insurance benefits and put some money aside for hearing aids, assuring yourself that you’d use it in the mystical (yet elusive) “someday”.

But even with the best intentions, most would-be patients end up procrastinating calling and allow themselves to remain on the sidelines of conversations the next time they see friends for dinner.

Here’s why most would-be patients fail to schedule an appointment with an Audiologist:

Here’s why this is irreversibly crippling.  As an already busy person with large to do lists, people to serve, appointments to attend and maybe even a full time job, you literally can’t afford not to schedule an appointment.

And the longer you wait, the harder it is to continue at the rate you are going.

Therefore, seeing an Audiologist, getting the hearing corrected right the first time is one of the biggest priorities you have.

Once you are hearing better, you will find that all the other things become more manageable.  You have more energy. You are more helpful to others. Your daily routine becomes more joyful.

Lucky for you, you are reading this and finding out what most people don’t realize.  You will be happier once your hearing is improved.

In all likelihood, you have tried different over the counter amplifiers or TV headphones, that have helped in some ways, but fell short of your needs.

Which means…..

Even if you’re late to the party, there’s still the golden opportunity for you to jump in, correct your hearing (and get back to your normal self).

That is ...it's never too late to start acting younger again and simply hear without stress, worry or anxiety.


Four Reasons Hearing Aids Don't Work

Here's the bad stuff

Underestimating the professional (or worse, not going to a professional).  Evaluating and treating hearing loss is not comparable to vision. Hearing loss types vary and the technology and the way the prescription is set in the hearing aids is complex.  Ensuring the correct fit in the ear, proper venting ( or no venting), correct amount of power, verifying the settings using REM, are all parts of the process.

Anything that is sent to you via online order will not be able to take the above items into consideration.  You will get what you get and that’s it!! Mild hearing loss=you get x.
Severe hearing loss=you get x.  Identical.

Time to respect the 8 years of education and the 2000 clinical hours with direct patient care that goes into a new Audiologist.  Seasoned ones, like Dr. Heiman, get to add 20 years of experience on top of that.
Hearing aids will make me look old ( and so, I’m not going to wear them).

Have you ever met up with someone whom you know has hearing loss and hearing aids, but they aren’t wearing them?  They keep asking you to repeat yourself and they respond to your statements and questions inappropriately.  They respond slower and miss a lot, don’t they?  You’re thinking:  I wish they would put their hearing aids on so we could have a normal conversation…..

If you have a hearing loss, but it’s corrected with hearing aids, you act sharper and younger.  People don’t notice the hearing aids- they notice you!

Those who put their hearing aids in the drawer and only wear them for “certain occasions” don’t do well because they haven’t been practicing..their brain doesn’t know what to do with the information.
Hearing aids don’t work.

There is a process of not just hearing basic sounds.  Unlike other places, we don’t believe you are here to simply buy hearing aids, sell them to you, and then wish you as you try your best to use them.

We work hard to walk you through a pre-calculated method/program that is designed to help retrain your auditory system to hear its best.  We believe the key is in the expert that not only knows how to fit your prescription, but how to walk you through your auditory rehab process.
Hearing aids make background noise louder.

Just putting on an amplifier only and every time you go to a noisy place is not going to allow you to hear.  Over the Counter (OTC) devices give you base (volume), but may not help with clarity.

Directional microphones help give some voices precedence, however, you may need a rehab program to help you do this best.

You need some guides to help you do your best with an impaired organ.  As long as you can avoid many of these biggest blunders, the path to best hearing is yours.  Barriers to effective communication are high.

Our program is one that helps rehab your auditory processing system, gives you the coaching tips, and tricks you need to be a successful hearing aid user.

At Advanced Audiology Consultants, our program is designed to give you a path that will help you achieve hearing success.

Shhhhh ...I'm going to let you in on a little secret

Even though hearing loss effects a massive amount of people around the world- the level of care and expertise in attempting to correct the hearing loss is not an evenly distributed one.

A few people will get GREAT results, while others feel deflated and as if they sort of hear better.

And the main reason for this, as you’ve likely seen by now, is that the barriers to hearing better are relatively LOW….

…..The barriers towards EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION are fairly high.


But as long as you can avoid the biggest blunders that sink most hearing aid wearers, the path is paved for you and your future is bright.

One that allows you to achieve more independence and freedom, happier outlook on life, more social opportunities and the ability to choose what you want to hear and what you don’t want to hear.


The key ingredient to all of this is an Audiologist that knows their stuff!

And with your permission, I’d love to show you how we do it.


Introducing

The Hearing Wellness Program

We implement this with ALL patients!

The complete A-Z process for allowing you to confidently hear well again.

We have a step-by-step process of rehabbing the ear and the auditory processing system even before you choose and purchase the perfect product for you.
I’ve taken everything I’ve learned from my undergraduate, masters and doctorate courses, trainings on the latest hearing technology, years of working in hospital and private practice with newborns, children and adults to create a simplified system to help you hear your best.
We teach you how to hear your best.  We walk you through the basics all the way to the more complex.  We focus on what other places ignore: you and your auditory processing system’s adaptation to the new sounds in your world.
The Hearing Wellness Plan isn’t so much a training program as it is an implementation program.

STILL UNDECIDED?

You’re ready to achieve your best hearing in years if…

You’re just starting to notice a change in your hearing, you want to reduce your chances of dementia, and you want to NAIL IT right out of the gate with the best elevation and treatment process available to you, that’s easy to follow and won’t break the bank.

You’ve worn hearing aids for years, and the place you purchased them from never seems to know how to make them work for you.

You’ve done your research and you already KNOW which hearing aids you want, but you want to work with an expert with a tried and true system that ensures the best outcome possible.

You have no problem putting in the time to do your auditory rehab exercises, it’s just never been offered to you before.

In fact, you’re ALREADY trying to do listening activities with an app you found, but you’re becoming discouraged because with your “why the heck do I bother” results you’re getting.

You care about how others at work view you and you want to maintain that same level of competence, respect and presence.  That's why you believe doing something about your hearing and working with our Hearing Wellness Journey will keep you at your best game for as long as possible.

You are aware of all of the positive outcomes better hearing brings and you’re excited to hear the birds singing again as well as what your date is saying in a fancy restaurant.  You can’t wait to get started!

You are aware that we can get started with you as soon as your first appointment.  You will walk out of the office hearing better than you have in a long time.

You feel confident in letting us guide you into this exciting improvement in not only your hearing health, but also your psychological and social health.

Did you catch yourself nodding your head?
