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?

Today was my first visit to AudioNova. I found the office clean and well organized and the staff very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They gave me all the time I needed and clearly answered my questions. There was no pressure whatsoever to purchase any particular model. I highly recommend John Latte and his staff.

John Latte (AudioNova-Torrington,CT) was EXCELLENT! His knowledge base, experience with customers, and deep desire to "make a difference" to others' lives through hearing improvement is very evident. He is patient, thorough, and offers precise services as necessitated for the patient. AudioNova is a long established company (began in the Netherlands in 1926) that prides itself on delivery of the latest technologies and highest quality services. John Latte is remarkably talented and reflects the attributes that represent his company -- AudioNova. I would highly recommend John to others. Simply said... he is the BEST!

I picked AudioNova out of necessity because they accept my insurance, and I couldn't be happier. Hearing instrument specialist John Latte is extremely knowledgeable, and one of the best explainers I have ever come across. I was completely confident in making my choice of hearing aid in the first meeting, thanks to John, and the second appointment (installation) was even more rewarding. John treats everyone like family, and is so lucid in explaining the nuances of the equipment that you feel relaxed as you learn. You can't do better than John Latte for hearing aid help. AudioNova in Torrington is a blessed place.

Great experience! Highly recommend Andrea and team! We are from out of town and my 90yr old father’s hearing aid failed. I stopped in without an appointment and asked for help. The hearing aid was old and we had our doubts that it could be fixed. Andrea promptly evaluated and fixed the hearing aid while I waited. They are a great resource!
