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 Nottingham, hearing tests are offered FREE of charge.

This place was much better when it was Connect Hearing. Since Audio Nova took over services have declined greatly. They let the front office receptionist go and now they only have one person in the office. You can no longer just stop in to get Hearing Aid supplies and now you need to make a appointment to do that. Hard to get a appointment. Service is not good. Better to go to another Hearing clinic. Would not recommend

Dear Tiffany, Thank you for your feedback, we take great pride in our TOP-RATED customer service and like most medical practices take extensive notes on every visitor who walks through our door. That said, we were unable to locate information on your visit and we'd like to learn more about how we can improve from the 3-star review that you left to the 5-star experience we're clearly known for. Can you please contact us or provide more information on your experience with our services? Unfortunately, we have had to deal with fraudulent reviews that have been left just to win points with Google's Local Guide system and we want to be fair to you as someone who had an authentic experience with us. As always, we wish you all the best in hearing health! Warm regards

I would like to highly recommend John Cummins from Connect Hearing, 7658 A Belair Road, Baltimore. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but John made my husband and I feel extremely comfortable, he is such a professional. It was a very pleasant experience and we felt very confident at the end of the appointment as John explained the options and onward toward better hearing. All I can say is "Thank God for Connect Hearing and Thank God for John Cummins and his compassion for his customers!"

I've had my hearing aids from Connect for three years, and the experience has gone very well. Any problem has been corrected immediately. The product, service and personnel are all great.

I have been dealing with people that provide services for quite some time. I have found very few that have the customer concern that John does. He really wants to provide you with the best care and the right hearing instrument for your needs. I feel that if you really connect with the customer, you can provide just the right solution and not just sell you a hearing aid. John is the best.

We are so pleased with connect hearing, they went above and beyond what we ask for. The bel air store where mr. John Cummins and his partner Brad made us feel like we where important. We would tell anyone that needed hearing aids to give them a chance.

John is the best. He not only explains you clearly regarding your hearing issues but also suggests the best product for the best price. Whenever I have questions I just give him a call and he is there for me. Connect hearing is the best hearing aid company I have ever visited. I would suggest this place to everyone. Hats off.
