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.

Dr. Anna and her team are nothing short of stellar. Their attention to open communication is something that we never had with our last Audiology office. The office staff was on point with details and made us feel welcome the second we walked in. Dr. Anna listened to our concerns and acknowledged every one of them in a matter which was easily comprehended, and made sure we were confident in the path moving forward. Our family would HIGHLY recommend the Empire Hearing Team!

I took my father there to have his hearing checked, which we already knew was bad! Dr. Anna checked him out, made great suggestions and really made sure he understood everything. We came in the following week and got his new hearing aids and he is so happy now that he can hear everyone!

We received an invitation in the mail and decided it was time to check it out. The office is nice enough and the reception staff was very pleasant and competent. We met with the provider who went through the hearing evaluation and assessment before turning us over to her associate in charge of sales. The promotional hook for this visit was a 45 day trial time with full refund if not satisfied provided we attend follow-up visits for adjustments. There is also a 3 year warranty. After a discussion, we opted for the premium level as we were told that the only difference between the 3 levels was the amount of noise reduction and that was the primary reason for considering hearing aids. Price was reduced without submitting to insurance, and not sure if we can submit the amount we paid out of pocket or not. So far we are 5 days in and have noticed that the volume on the tv has gone down quite a bit. Also doing better in louder situations. Not perfect but we haven't gone to the adjustment appointment yet.
