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.

Colin is excellent and super-knowledgable, and very down-to-earth. Had great help getting tested and then adjusting hearing aids. It's been over a year, and still great service. Was in today for an annual hearing test and fine-tuning of the programs in my Audien hearing aids, and that went well. I highly recommend Colin and the Vestal AudioNova to all

I’ve met with Colin twice, and he was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely kind. He took the time to thoroughly educate me about my hearing loss and the different options available to address my concerns. If you’re looking for a professional who truly cares and can help you find the right solution, there’s no better place in the Tri-City area. - Randall

While visiting from another state, i experienced a problem with my phonak product. Colin not only fixed the problem, but made sure that both my wife and i left with the new cleaning products. This service was at no charge exactly as warranty states. How wonderful to find a product that lives up to it's promise. Thank you B Sullivan

Thank you Colin and staff for the excellent customer service! Colin went above and beyond to fix my Mother's hearing aid. He called the repair vendor to verify the hearing aid was able to be repaired, and offered a temporary hearing aid to use during the repair process. He fine tuned the hearing aid to ensure my mom was satisfied with it. No extra charges for the borrowed hearing aid or the tuning appointment. Thank you again for your service! 🙂

Super friendly and courteous. Super informative about my condition and needs. Would rather have known up front before the process began that the testing person is not an audiologist and therefore my testing would likely not be good enough to have my insurance pay for hearing aids. Would also have rather known up front that my insurance would likely not pay anything toward hearing aids.

I was first there with my Mom and her appointments with Eric Freeman. He treated both of us with respect and was friendly, answered questions so that we understood them and explained things thoroughly. In my own recent hearing test, also with Eric, I received the same excellent care, explanations of my situation, etc. I can highly recommend Empire and Eric!
