The Englewood, N.J. office is staffed by a hearing aid specialist (A Licensed Hearing Aid Dispenser.) There is no audiologist on site. There are limited hearing diagnostics for this reason.
A large range of hearing aids are available but the most expensive with the newest technologies is the one offered. The hearing aid specialist described many of these technologies plus Bluetooth connectivity. She told me I would have to come back weekly for a couple weeks to learn how to use all the technologies associated with these hearing aids.
When I received my hearing aids she set them, told me to use them and come back in one week. I made an appointment and when I came back she asked how my hearing was and I told her great. She then told me to come back in six months so she could check the setting.
I asked her what happened to the education regarding the various technologies associated with these hearing aids. She took my IPhone, changed some settings and told me I now have blue tooth. I was anticipating more, even simple tasks such as changing volume on the hearing aids. There is no point in having Oticon's most expensive hearing aids with the newest technologies if you don't know how to use them! read more
