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

I am 65 years old and recently got hearing aids through Empire. Christine Graf, audiologist is knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, and very thorough explaining of questions or concerns that I had. I would recommend her if you’re considering getting hearing aids. She made the process very easy and answered all the questions I had. Her staff is very personable as well.

after seeing the same provider for ten years, I decided there must be a way to keep my hearing aides in place. Many replacements. These DOCTORS of audiology solved the problem immediately with a simple tweak. I feel so confident with them and now enjoy books, music and podcasts thru my bluetooth aides, 10 stars!!!

David Nelson and his team are fantastic! Very professional and knowledgeable. While they outfitted my mother with hearing aids, knowing that they will be there for us in continued care is what stands out most about them. We highly recommend AAS - Tonawanda office.

I had a very thorough, accurate and complete hearing exam yesterday with Dr. Leon. She was professional, well spoken, compassionate - listened well while driving her observations into careful, detailed and patient evaluation and conclusions - both scientific and human behavioral. What a pleasant experience from a more than pleasant human being. She even called me later in the day as a follow-up with more advice. Highly recommended! KD - Amherst, NY
