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 had an appointment for a hearing test with the audiologist Rebecca was phenomenal! Her personality matches her skills. Kindness, empathy for others, and understanding of hearing aids and testing my hearing were excellent. I'm in a wheelchair, and she accommodated my needs like no other. I have been to several audiologists, and no one has the personality or skills of Rebecca. I also like the receptionist a lot. Audio Nova is very fortunate to have her. Thank you for your time. Mary Warren.

We are so happy with the hearing services provided to our Mom. Our mom is 102 years old and has never heard better. She has had a Number of hearing aids, but none have worked like the ones she’s wearing today! The staff at Empire Hearing/Audio Nova, in New Hartford NY are so respectful and kind to our mom, with special mention to Wendi Trousdale and Corinne at reception! Thank you for providing our mom with “life” back again and we don’t have to yell anymore! Warm regards, The Marafioti family

Staff were very patient and polite when I arrived late for my appointment. Fortunately they were able to complete my hearing evaluation. The practitioner explained everything and made me feel comfortable. I was happy to have her check my hearing aids and provide an update on them.
