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 American Hearing Centers by AudioNova, hearing tests are offered FREE of charge.

My husband picked up his new hearings aids today. It was our third visit to the audiologist, Dr. Allison Hughes, from American Hearing Center in Montvale, NJ. If anyone in your family is on the fence about needing hearing aids or is thinking about new hearing aids, please visit Dr. Hughes. She is patient, compassionate, will take time to explain all types of aids, the pros and cons and will never push you if you are undecided. My husband and I are confident that this purchase will be life changing. It is very challenging dealing with a family member who does not hear what’s going on and you can tell when they’re not taking part in the family conversations (good or not so good). We’re all looking forward to getting the real GS back. Thank you, Dr. Hughes. P. S. She is beautiful inside and out. You can tell at your first meeting that she is very sincere and wants to help.

Dr. Hughes is very friendly, personable, and professional. Takes the time to explain what is going on with your hearing and gives you options for hearing aides with no pressure. When problems do occur with the devices, helps to quickly resolve the issue(s). She also takes the time to get to know you and what best fits your needs/lifestyle.

Great experience overall. Didn’t have to wait much to see the doctor. Clean, friendly, and plenty of room to space out in the waiting room. The doctor spends the time understanding the issue, doing the proper testing, and recommending next steps. If you’re experiencing hearing issues, I would highly recommend.

I arrived to my appointment 10 mins late due to traffic issue. The receptionist told me that my appointment was for 1130 and i am 25 mins late. Although i showed her the text message confirming my 1145 appointment she rudely told me that i can not be accommodated and need to reschedule. I do not recall EVER being treated so rudely. I am a healthcare provider my self and can assure you that many of our patients are 10-15 mins late and we make the best effort to accommodate and if unable too, at least treat them with the most respect!!!!

Brought my elderly mom in as she was convinced one of her 8 year old hearing aids from this place had finally given out. Mind you, their life span is more like 5-6 years. The gal there cleaned them which corrected the issue and handed them back to her free of charge. She was kind and patient and gave my mother good advice for the future as they will eventually have to be replaced. . My extended family has been coming here for 40+ years (used to be called Troast).

Troast has helped me with my hearing aids for several years and has always been prompt, courteous, and professional. I like the personalized feeling I get when I go in; they ask about my family and how we are doing…it’s a nice environment and a business that I feel good about patronizing! The last time I was in they took the time to show me another option for my hearing loss, the Caption Phone. Prior to that I was unaware that this government-funded program existed. I had the phone installed and it’s been a huge help!! I will certainly continue to give Troast my business.

Troast Hearing is excellent!! They are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They are highly professional as well as personally and kind. I'm a 43 year old man wear hearing aids since I was a 3 years old. So I certainly know audiologists!!!! Their goal is to make sure you are able to hear as well as possible and up to date on all the technology innovations that will help you achieve your goals. I would highly recommend Troast Hearing to anyone that is having trouble hearing!!!
