Hearing loss can be caused by several factors – the aging process, disease heredity, exposure to noise and build-up of earwax, among others.

The best thing to do is make an appointment for a hearing screening with a licensed Apex Hearing Care Professional. The screening will tell you what you’re hearing and what you could be missing.

The price of a hearing instrument varies depending on the style and technology selected.

You could be at risk if you work (or spend a lot of time) in noisy environments without protecting your ears.

Your Apex Hearing Care Professional will first ask you about your lifestyle and hearing needs. Ears will be first checked for earwax. You will then be given a comprehensive hearing test. After completing the test your hearing specialist will review the results and make recommendations.

Yes, Apex Hearing offers you the opportunity to “test drive” a hearing aid to see what it sounds like in a variety of listening environments without the obligation to buy.

Yes, noise can be dangerous. If it is loud enough and lasts long enough, it can damage your hearing.

Your Apex Hearing Care Professional will make the best recommendation for you based on your lifestyle, hearing loss, cosmetics and budget.

• Keep hearing aids clean – get into a routine and clean it every morning or every night.

• Buy a battery tester and check your batteries regularly. Open the battery door or remove the battery completely each night.
Protect your hearing aids from moisture. Invest in a Dri-Aid kit and use it faithfully, especially during hot humid summers.
Remove any earwax deposits daily with the special brush that was provided with your hearing aid.

• Keep hearing aids in a hard shell container when not in use. Cats, dogs and children will play with them, lose them, eat them, etc.
