Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use hearing protection?
You should always use hearing protection when engaging in high-noise recreational activities or work. These activities may include hunting, music concerts, motor sports, and/or construction. Noise-induced hearing loss can result from prolonged exposure to noise or a single, extremely loud event. The louder the sound, the quicker it can cause damage. If you notice ringing in your ears or temporary hearing loss after a loud noise exposure, the environment was too noisy and could be harmful. If that ringing or temporary hearing loss is persistent, it would be a good idea to contact us for a hearing evaluation.
Should I get my hearing tested?
If you suspect that you or a loved one may be experiencing hearing loss, it’s recommended that you seek help sooner rather than later. Hearing loss tends to develop gradually and is often noticeable to close friends and family well before the affected individual realizes it. Identifying and treating hearing loss promptly is crucial. Ignoring it could lead to significant long-term effects, such as increased risk of depression and dementia.
How much does a hearing test cost?
At AudioNova El Cajon, hearing tests are offered FREE of charge.

El Cajon Store, Totally incompetent. Cant even return phone calls. DOL gave specific instructions for my case and they cant call him back either. Been trying to get hearing aids and help from them since December 16th 2024. I will be headed for a different hearing aid company. The audiologist guy was way nice, just a complete and total failure of following up. I have called numerous times and left messages. I'll take my business elsewhere..

Very friendly and professional man I dealt with. Store is clean and professionally set up. Audiologist was well informed and patient. Bottom line the hearing aids are way out of my range as far as price. They are very nice but 3 to 5 grand is not possible for a senior on Medicare.

Today I visited AudioNova El Cajon, seeking parts for Phonak hearing aids. Isabell, their receptionist, greeted me with a smile & provided me some of what I needed...suggesting their audiologist could help with the rest. Happily I took a seat, several minutes later Tim O'Meara came out...TRULY WANTING TO HELP. In his work area I handed Tim my hearing aids, as he changed the parts I needed, he explained the purpose of each and how to order them in the future...eventually, testing them and the charging case, giving all "good to go". Tim serviced my hearing aids as a courtesy; letting me know there would be no charge-when I asked...WOW! My experience with Isabell & Tim is positive, THEY REALLY HELPED ME. I happily recommend AudioNova-761 Broadway, El Cajon, CA 92021.

Both the receptionist and the technician were friendly and informative. My hearing test was conducted smoothly and my hearing aids were adjusted to fit my current hearing. I was also provided with a pair of upgrade aids for my consideration. All good from here.

Stopped in to purchase batteries for myself and for my mom. I recognized Leslie from a different location. She asked how long has it been since I had a hearing test and it's been at least 5 years. I wear one hearing aid I told her. Did I want to set up an appointment to have a hearing test and it's "free". Sure, but I'll get back to Her on that. Leslie followed up a few days later and I made an appointment. My hearing test had not changed much. I was happy with what I had, so I thought. However, I mentioned i don't hear well at meetings, I ask my grandkids "what" more often then I like and my 8 year old granddaughter even brought it to my attention. Kids are so honest. Kathleen asked if I would be interested in trying a set of hearing aids on both ears for a couple weeks. BOTH EARS???? Wasn't sure if I was ready for both ears. I made an appointment to come back for the trial aids. I was shocked after we put them in And the adjustments were made. I just sat there quite and just looked around the room. I could hear myself talking instead of the sound just in my head and I could hear other sounds. I didn't know what I was missing. I got emotional and I teared up. Kathleen was great to work with. I could see in her expression that she was happy for me and sincerely. I asked a lot of questions and did lots of research on my own about lots of different hearing aids. I shared everything I was learning with her "daily". About a week later I made the commitment and purchased the Phonak Audeo Marvel rechargeable Bluetooth hearing instruments. I love them and I tell everyone and don't hide it. I choose Connect Hearing because of their professionalism, their quality of caring and Kathleen and Leslie are just amazing. They are truly sincere in their care. I really trusted Kathleen knowing what was best for my needs. Thank you ... I talk Quieter and that is really nice for others. This is a short version :)
