We Are

Audiologists, Not Salespeople

Many people are advised to get a hearing aid, only to be intimidated by numerous options. We understand it can be tricky to sift through all the hearing aid marketing to find the best device for you. Don’t be fooled by tv “ads” or CONSUMER REPORTS. That's why we pride ourselves on taking the doubt and uncertainty out of hearing aids. We believe in quality treatment that allows time to ask and answer any questions you have. We are a "no pressure" hearing practice, offering you all the information you need to help you make the best decision.

Inform You

We see patient awareness as one of our primary objectives because while patients may visit us once a year, every other day of the year they are being exposed to different noises and sounds. At our office, you'll never feel rushed as we answer all of your questions and help you find the solution you've been searching for.

    Hearing Loss

    Hearing loss affects millions worldwide, fundamentally altering communication and daily life. Understanding Hearing Loss involves recognizing its three main types: sensorineural,  conductive, and mixed. Each type disrupts sound perception differently, underscoring the importance of early diagnosis and tailored audiological care


    • Sensorineural Hearing Loss: The most common type, caused by damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve, often resulting from aging, exposure to loud noises, or genetic factors.
    • Conductive Hearing Loss: Arises when sound waves cannot properly travel through the outer and middle ear, possibly due to ear infections, fluid buildup, or structural abnormalities.
    • Mixed Hearing Loss: A combination of sensorineural and conductive issues, addressing both the conductive mechanism and inner ear health.


    The impact of untreated hearing loss is profound, influencing job performance, social interactions, and emotional well-being. It's crucial to seek professional audiological services for diagnosis and management. With the right support, those experiencing hearing loss can lead full, active lives without missing life's precious moments. Regular hearing checks and modern hearing solutions can make a significant difference, underscoring the importance of awareness and early intervention. At Ohio Audiology Associates, we are equipped to diagnose and manage all types of hearing loss, helping you navigate the path to improved hearing health.

    Frequently Asked Questions


    • Artboard-9

      IF I THINK I HAVE A HEARING PROBLEM, WHAT DO I DO?

      You should make an appointment with a hearing professional like an audiologist, hearing aid specialist, or ENT for an evaluation, consultation, and hearing test. Many hearing care professionals offer this evaluation at no charge.

    • Artboard-9

      HOW DO HEARING AIDS WORK?

      Hearing aids are simply microphones that convert sound into electrical signals. An amplifier increases the strength of the signal, then a receiver converts it back to sound and channels it into the ear canal through a small tube or earmold. A battery is necessary to power the hearing aid and to enable amplification.

    • Artboard-9

      HOW DO I RECOGNIZE HEARING PROBLEMS?

      Most of the time hearing problems begin gradually without discomfort or pain. What’s more, family members often learn to adapt to someone’s hearing loss without even realizing they are doing it. Here are some questions to ask yourself to determine whether you have hearing loss.

      1. Do I / they often ask people to repeat themselves?

      2. Do I / they have trouble following conversations with more than two people?

      3. Do I / they have difficulty hearing what is said unless facing the speaker?

      4. Do I / they struggle to hear in crowded places like restaurants, malls, and meeting rooms?

      5. Do I / they have a hard time hearing women or children?

      6. Do I / they prefer the TV or radio volume louder than others?

      7. Do I / they experience ringing or buzzing in my ears?

      8. Does it sound like other people are mumbling or slurring their words?

      If you answered yes to several of these questions, chances are you suffer from hearing loss.


    • Artboard-9

      IF I HAD HEARING LOSS, WOULDN’T MY DOCTOR HAVE TOLD ME?

      Only 13 percent of physicians routinely screen for hearing loss. Since most people with hearing impairments hear just fine in quiet environments (like your doctor’s office), it can be very difficult for your physician to recognize this problem. Only a trained hearing professional can determine the severity of your hearing problem, whether or not you could benefit from a hearing aid, and which type would be best for you.

    • Artboard-9

      WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF HEARING LOSS?

      There are several causes including excessive noise, genetics, birth defects, infections of the head or ear, aging, and reaction to drugs or cancer treatment. Each type of hearing loss has different causes.

    • Artboard-9

      ARE THERE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HEARING LOSS?

      There are three types of hearing loss including: sensorineural hearing loss, conductive hearing loss, and mixed hearing loss. Most people lose at least some degree of their hearing as they age, and by the time they reach age 65 and older, one in three people has some type of hearing impairment.

    • Artboard-9

      ARE THERE HEARING AIDS FOR SINGLE-SIDED HEARING LOSS?

      Yes, hearing aids are available for those with single-sided hearing loss. The Starkey CROS System delivers solutions for:

      • Those who are unable to hear in one ear and have normal hearing in the other ear (CROS)
      • Those with little to no hearing in one of their ears, and a hearing loss in their better ear (BiCROS)

    • Artboard-9

      DOESN’T HEARING LOSS ONLY AFFECT OLDER PEOPLE?

      Describe the item or answer the question so that site visitors who are interested get more information. You can emphasize this text with bullets, italics or bold, and add links.
    • Artboard-9

      ARE THERE OPERATIONS OR MEDICATIONS I CAN TAKE FOR HEARING LOSS?

      Only 5 percent of hearing loss in adults can be improved medically or surgically. The vast majority of Americans with hearing loss (95 percent) are treated with hearing aids.

    • Artboard-9

      IS THERE AN ADJUSTMENT PERIOD TO WEARING HEARING AIDS?

      Yes. Most people need an adjustment period of up to four months before becoming acclimated to — and receiving the full benefit of — wearing their hearing aids. However, you should expect to notice obvious benefits during this trial period. Remember, your hearing professional is there to help. Do not be afraid to call or visit to discuss your concerns.



      1. Be realistic. Remember that your hearing loss has been gradual. Over the years you have lost the ability to hear certain sounds in the speech spectrum and normal sounds of the environment, such as traffic and wind noise, the hum of machinery, and other background noises.



      2. Practice. When you begin to wear hearing aids, these sounds will be restored but your brain will need practice and reeducation in order to selectively focus on and filter sounds. Some sounds may even startle you at first. Know that your brain will acclimate to these sounds again over time.



      3. Be patient. It takes time to adapt to hearing aids. Wear them as much as possible at first to become more skilled at recognizing sound direction and to learn which hearing aid settings work best for you in different situations.



      4. Rest. The adjustment period may be tiresome. It’s a lot like retraining a muscle that hasn’t been used in a while. But the benefits will be worth it after you’ve made the adjustment.

      HOW MUCH DO HEARING AIDS COST IN NORTH CANTON?

      The price of a hearing aid will vary depending on the specific model and features you need, and how effective it is in various noise environments. Whatever the final cost, most hearing professionals do offer financing plans. You should also check to see if you qualify for free hearing aids or discounted hearing aids from your employer, union, the Veterans Administration, insurance provider, HMO or local charity (such as Lions Club).
