Hearing Aids and Brands

Modern hearing aids, expertly fit

Today's hearing aids are sophisticated, discreet, and remarkable. The technology has changed dramatically, and so has what is possible.

Our Philosophy

The right hearing aid, fit the right way

Modern hearing aids are miniature computers that filter noise, stream calls, and adapt to your environment automatically. But even the best device performs poorly if it is not programmed correctly for your specific hearing loss and ear anatomy.

That is why every fitting at Coastal Hearing Care includes real-ear measurement, a best-practice verification step that ensures your device delivers the exact amplification your hearing needs. Without real ear, fittings are essentially guesswork.

Styles of Hearing Aids

Find the style that fits your life

Behind-the-Ear (BTE)

The most versatile style, suitable for nearly all types of hearing loss. Reliable, easy to handle, and comfortable to wear.

Receiver-in-Canal (RIC)

Discreet, comfortable, and one of the most popular styles today. Excellent sound quality with a nearly invisible profile.

In-the-Ear (ITE)

Custom-molded to fit within the outer ear. A good option for patients who want an all-in-one design.

In-the-Canal (ITC)

Smaller than ITE, sitting partly in the ear canal. Discreet with room for helpful features.

Completely-in-Canal (CIC)

Nearly invisible, sitting fully within the ear canal. Ideal for mild to moderate hearing loss and cosmetic concerns.

Invisible-in-Canal (IIC)

The most discreet option, hidden deep in the ear canal. Best for select candidates with the right ear shape and hearing loss profile.

Frequently asked questions

How much do hearing aids cost?

Hearing aid pricing varies widely based on technology level, features, and the level of professional care included. At Coastal Hearing Care, we present all options honestly and match technology to your specific needs and budget. We also offer financing and can help you understand any insurance benefits you may have.

How long do hearing aids last?

Modern hearing aids typically last five to seven years with proper care. Our Hearing Aid Refresh program can often extend the useful life of your current devices, and we help you plan the right time to upgrade.

Will I need one hearing aid or two?

In most cases, two hearing aids work better than one because your brain uses input from both ears to locate sounds and understand speech in noise. During your evaluation, we assess whether one or two devices is right for you.

How long is the adjustment period?

Most patients adapt to new hearing aids over four to six weeks. We schedule follow-up visits during that period to fine-tune your programming and answer questions. Adjustment is a process, and we are with you through it.

Can hearing aids connect to my phone?

Yes, most modern hearing aids stream directly from iPhone and many Android devices. You can take calls, listen to music, and even use your hearing aids as wireless headphones.

What if I already have hearing aids?

Bring them in. Our Hearing Aid Refresh program can reprogram and optimize your existing devices, often making them sound significantly better without the cost of new hearing aids.
