Hearing Aid Styles

At Quincy Audiology, our audiologists will provide treatment options depending on your particular hearing health needs. There are several different hearing aid styles and advanced technology options to consider when amplification is warranted. Recommendations are made based on the patient’s hearing loss, functional listening needs and goals, and cosmetic considerations. Most hearing aids have rechargeability and direct streaming options to iPhones and select Android devices. Our audiologists work with a variety of hearing aid manufacturers including Oticon, Starkey, Phonak, ReSound, Signia, and Widex.
