Please call our office at (912) 748-9494  to schedule an appointment so we may test your hearing and discuss what may be best for your individual situation.

Featured Hearing Aids
at
Coastal Audiology:


be by ReSound

be by ReSound is the perfect choice for patients with a mild to moderate hearing loss who are looking for a hearing instrument that fits any listening environment, yet virtually disappears in the ear.

  • First time users:  Offering comfort and excellent sound quality, you will find the “wow’ effect first time users are looking for.
  • Current custom users:  Pre-Market Launch audiologists state custom users prefer the feel and fit of be by Resound compared to their current custom instruments.

How be looks in the patient's ear


 Audiometric fitting range for the be by ReSound

be is not for every hearing loss, but it is an excellent choice for people who want the cosmetics of an in-the-ear device, but want the benefits of an open-fit device. With be, patients can experience less occlusion (head-in-a-barrel) than they would experience with a custom in-the-ear device, but without the annoyances some people experience with open-fit behind-the-ear hearing aids, such as interference with oxygen straps, eyeglasses, hair noise, perspiration, etc.

The Sonic Innovations VELOCITY






The Velocity from Sonic Innovations is the latest in premium technology from this young but up-and-coming company. The Velocity is the first company with "voice alerts" for the manually accessible programs in their hearing instruments. Instead of relying on "beeps", the Velocity will actually tell you what program you're on instead of having to guess or remember. It is truly "hands-free" listening. Fully automatic features make this a great hearing instrument for the person that wants superb performance without having to do anything but put it in their ear. Great performance in noisy environments as well as quiet listening situations, this instrument is a great choice for both experienced and new users alike.

The Velocity is available in a full range of colors and styles from the Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC) to the new mini Behind-the-Ear (BTE) that can be converted from the nearly-invisible slim tube fitting to a fully-functioning standard BTE, and with a volume control too!

For more information about the Velocity, please call us for a brochure or visit
http://ps.sonici.com/velocity/index.php for more information.


The GN ReSound Sparx


A new Super Power product from ReSound.

The Sparx fully digital hearing aid provides the maximum usable gain without feedback in the same super-power category. It uses a 675 battery with low consumption, but is in an amazingly slim case as compared to it's competitors. It is available in the traditional BTE colors such as beige, grey , and dark brown, but is also available in fun, fashion colors such as Sparx Blue and Sparx Red. If you love ReSound hearing aids and have been looking for a super power, this just may be the aid for you. This is the first Super Power that ReSound has introduced since the early 90's. We have waited and they have delivered!

 




Special Considerations when Selecting Hearing Aids:



There are many factors to consider when selecting the right hearing aids for you. The information provided above is not a substitute for a comprehensive hearing evaluation and consultation.  At Coastal Audiology, we spend time discussing things such as:

            -How often are you in background noise, such as in a
             restaurant?
            -Are you frequently in environments where you perspire?
            -Are you self-conscious about the cosmetic aspect of hearing
             devices?

These are just a few of the imporant questions that come up during a hearing evaluation at Coastal Audiology that other facilities never bother to ask you. We are committed to finding the solution that best suits you, first based upon your hearing loss, then considering lifestyle, budget, and your listening needs.

 

Introducing Pay-as-you-Go and
Protection Plus+ Hearing Aid Purchase Plans!
Finally, patients can choose to purchase just the hearing aids they want or a comprehensive service package. Coastal Audiology is the first local provider to offer patients the opportunity to "unbundle" our products and services, which can save you thousands of dollars! Please review the information below for an overview of each plan. Should you need more information, please do not hesitate to call our office or send us an email through the "Contact Us" tab. We look forward to hearing from you!

Pay-as-you-Go 

After your comprehensive hearing test, we will recommend the hearing aid(s) that will meet your hearing needs. If you agree with the treatment plan we recommend, we will move forward together.

Pay-as-you-Go will allow you the opportunity to pay a lower cost for better technology,  a small non-refundable fitting fee which includes the initial programming, a two-week post-fitting check, and the manufacturer's standard repair and loss & damage warranty (typically one year).

Should you find that you need a little more "TLC" than the Pay-as-you-Go plan provides, we offer a Full Service Plan for a nominal fee per year.

This plan is perfect for those individuals who are looking for the best hearing aids at the lowest price possible. Our prices are competitive among internet retailers, but instead of paying your hard-earned money to a faceless internet retailer, you have a provider that is accountable if you are unhappy for any reason.


Protection Plus+

After your comprehensive hearing test, we will recommend the hearing aid(s) that will meet your hearing needs. If you agree with the treatment plan we recommend, we will move forward together.

Protection Plus+ will allow you to have the most comprehensive service and warranty package available for hearing aids today. This plan allows patients to be worry-free for 3 full years! The Protection Plus+ plan includes a 3 year repair warranty, 3 year loss/damage warranty, a 3-year supply of batteries (100 cells per aid), and comprehensive 3-year service package which covers adjustments, cleanings, reprograms, and much more!

This plan is perfect for those individuals who want the ultimate hearing healthcare service and warranty package as well as those patients who are new hearing aids wearers who are unsure of how much follow-up they may need. It is also perfect for existing wearers who want the freedom to come in for unlimited visits without being charged each time.
