FAQ

How do I know which hearing aid is right for me?
Your choice depends on your degree of hearing loss, ear anatomy, lifestyle, budget, and aesthetic preferences. We can guide you through the options after a hearing evaluation.
Are hearing aids covered by insurance?
Coverage varies. Some private insurance plans, veterans’ benefits, and state programs may cover all or part of the cost. Medicare generally does not cover hearing aids, though some Medicare Advantage plans do. At Badger Hearing most insurances are accepted and we can help with the insurance process.
Will hearing aids restore my hearing to normal?
No. Hearing aids do not cure hearing loss, but they can significantly improve hearing ability, speech understanding, and overall quality of life.
What if I skip follow-up appointments?
Skipping follow-up care can lead to:
• Hearing aids that don’t perform optimally
• Ongoing frustration with sound quality or comfort
• Missed opportunities to catch early issues (e.g., wax buildup, fit problems, or hearing changes)
Consistent follow-up ensures your investment in hearing aids truly improves your daily life.
What manufacturers of hearing products does Badger Hearing offer?
At Badger Hearing, we provide a full range of hearing solutions to meet your unique hearing and lifestyle needs. We partner with leading hearing aid manufacturers known for innovation, comfort, and reliability, including:
• Oticon
• Widex
• Unitron
• Phonak
• Starkey
• Signia
This wide selection allows us to recommend the brand and model that best fits your hearing loss, listening environments, and personal preferences.
Do you offer hearing protection?
Yes! We offer custom-molded hearing protection for a variety of needs — including musicians, hunters, industrial workers, swimmers, and anyone exposed to loud environments.
We also offer standard hearing protection options that are more cost-effective while still providing reliable noise reduction. These are a great choice for occasional use or for those looking for affordable, high-quality protection.
Are expensive hearing aids always better?
Not necessarily. The “best” hearing aid depends on your hearing loss, lifestyle, and listening needs. Someone who spends most of their time in quiet environments might do well with a basic model, while someone frequently in noisy or social settings may benefit from advanced technology.
Why are hearing aids so expensive compared to other electronics?
Hearing aids are medical devices, not mass-market electronics. They require:
• Precise engineering to fit tiny spaces and operate all day
• Complex sound processing tailored to each person’s hearing profile
• Professional expertise for fitting, fine-tuning, and long-term support
This combination of advanced technology and clinical care contributes to the overall cost.
Are over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids available?
Yes, we also offer a selection of over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids for adults with mild to moderate hearing loss. These can be a great entry-level option for people who want an affordable, self-fit solution — Badger Hearing can help you choose and set up the right OTC device for your needs.
What types of hearing loss can a hearing aid help with?
Hearing aids can help with most types of sensorineural hearing loss, and in some cases, mixed hearing loss. Here’s a breakdown:
1. Sensorineural Hearing Loss (Most Common)
This type occurs when the inner ear (cochlea) or the auditory nerve is damaged — often due to aging, noise exposure, or genetics.
• ✅ Hearing aids are very effective for mild to severe sensorineural hearing loss.
• They work by amplifying sounds so that the damaged parts of your ear can detect them more easily.
• Examples: Age-related hearing loss (presbycusis), noise-induced hearing loss, hereditary hearing loss.
2. Conductive Hearing Loss
This happens when sound cannot pass efficiently through the outer or middle ear (due to earwax buildup, fluid, infection, or bone issues).
• 🔹 Hearing aids can help in some cases — especially if the condition is long-term or cannot be treated medically or surgically.
• In other cases, medical treatment (like clearing earwax or surgery) may resolve the problem without the need for a hearing aid.
3. Mixed Hearing Loss
This is a combination of sensorineural and conductive hearing loss.
• ✅ Hearing aids can often help, depending on the degree and cause of each component.
• An audiologist can program the hearing aids to address both the amplification and clarity needs
