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 Concept by Iowa, now a part of AudioNova, hearing tests are offered FREE of charge.

Hello ! I am Colleen and I want to share a little about my life being nearly deaf as a child and not having hearing aids until I was older. It was difficult in school all 12 years ! Working at jobs was difficult as well. I did get hearing aids later on in life, it helped a lot actually I nearly wore them out ! Then I got a letter in the mail from Tina ! This is where my hearing has changed ! I can now hear ! With Sabrina and Tina's help and knowledge I wear one hearing aid with a Roger device . I will be 72 years old this winter and I can hear my family, go to their sport events and enjoy life ! Thank you to Tina and Sabrina, as they are fabulous !!

Excellent experience all around! Thanks to Amber for scheduling a timely appointment and resolving billing concerns. Am extremely happy to have been helped by Tina! Appreciate her willingness to take on a client from another practice and solve problems we have been trying to resolve for about a year! (Including some we didn’t even realize were an issue). For the first time I feel like my hearing aids are performing as intended, and I know how to use the many features available ! If I could give more than 5 stars i would!
