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.

The staff at Empire were most accommodating to me needs in all aspects such as expediting scheduling an appointment due to my urgent needs of hearing aids due to the degree of my hearing loss. Wendi conducted a hearing test like no other I’ve had throughout my stages of hearing loss I’ve had at other companies. Wendi pause special attention to the degree of my hearing loss and fitted me to Hearing aids that will extend my quality of life. She then processed the order of my new hearing aids while filing my insurance paperwork . In less than an hour i was setup with loaners and could hear again. The entire staff was very professional and friendly I will definitely recommend Empire to anyone in need.
