Of all the reports dealing with hearing aids, the scariest is the connection between hearing loss…read moreand dementia. That sounds like just marketing, but several studies confirm the association. With that in mind, how do you deal with hearing loss decades before dementia can settle its claws into your life? The best, if you have hearing loss, is to get yourself a pair of aids in an industry that has progressed in leaps and bounds during the past decade. I almost did not have that luck. I tried three times to kick dementia under the bus by going to several hearing clinics over the past twenty years. I had to return the aids to all of them within a 45-day period to get refunded. Finally in 2026 I found my hearing aids Shangri-la. That wonderful dispenser of hearing aids is Brooklyn Audiology Associates, which has three branches in Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Heights location, a mere 20-minutes' walk from my apartment, is staffed by "hearing aid experts," as they call themselves. I had the luck to be treated by John, in the business for a few decades, and be helped as well by Annie at the reception desk, setting appointments and even giving the aids a thorough cleaning during my visits. The company goes beyond New York State Law by allowing clients to return their just-fitted hearing aids for up to 60 days, 15 days beyond the legal requirement. John gave me the standard audio test. The print-out showed that I had moderate to severe hearing loss. I signed up for hearing aids, which includes one year of service, for periodic check-ups and adjustments. Plus: United Federation of Teachers gives its members and retirees like me up to $4000 in rebates for each three-year period. (Check whether your union has similar goodies.) During my follow-up visits, I had the Phonak aids adjusted three times until now I often fall asleep not realizing that I am still wearing them! The Phonak equipment is not cheap. This is a high-end product that can last up to four years, with a new audiology test determining whether your hearing has diminished with age. I think you will be pleased with the service you get, particularly important because adjustments may be needed especially during the first 60 days. I was fortunate in that my left hearing aid needed an adjustment beyond the 60 days: no problem here. Chances are you will be set up with an RIC, or Receiver-in-Canal, in which the bodies holding the chargeable batteries are behind the ear. John fixed me up with an ITE, or In-The-Ear aids, each of which is a solid, individual unit. I received another audiology test a few days ago, three months after I ordered the aids, and discovered that in most frequencies, my hearing progressed to the 0-20 score. That's the gold standard for normal hearing. Don't annoy your friends by saying "what?" or "can you repeat that?" or pretending that you understand what they are saying only to baffle them with your retorts. Get your hearing fixed and give your pals the opportunity to hear your witty banter
