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 saw Dr. Carrie Whitehead for a hearing test in July. She is very knowledgeable and described the entire process to me. After the test Dr. Whitehead showed me the different hearing aids available to be and what my cost would be with my insurance. I even tried a pair of hearing aids in her office. What a difference! The MOST important thing is that Dr. Whitehead spent the necessary time with me to answer questions, explain the process, develop a plan, and recommend a solution. Very good experience.

This review is on behalf of my mother's experience with this business. She purchased hearing aids from here and had to return MULTIPLE times for adjustment. They were not able to get them correct. The audiologist was incompetent and had no clue how to set them up correctly. This was verified by the new audiologist she is now seeing. The new audiologist had the rep from the hearing aids maker in my mother's appointment to figure out what was going on. Upon looking at the settings they discovered they were not even close to my mother's prescription. They did some adjustments and her hearing improved 10 fold. She is going back for two more fine tune adjustments which will get her hearing as good as it can be. Mind you, my mom was sent to this new audiologist by the audiologist at AudioNova. It appears this company strung her along until after the return period for her hearing aids passed, and then sent her to a competent audiologist which cost her an additional 300 dollars. My advice... find a hearing aid provider that knows how to properly fit and adjust your hearing aids. This is not the one. My mom does say the receptionist is fantastic and always helps her as much as she can. This is my opinion of this audiologist.

Melissa is very knowledgeable on the fitting, how to use, and maintaining hearing aids. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed with making a major decision and purchase of my new hearing aids. The office is tidy and easily accessible. The receptionist is equally skilled with making people feel welcome and anserwing any questions.

6 months ago i had a hearing test with Brenda Cervini, then was turned over to a lady who did nothing but tried to sell me new hearing aids. i told Brenda I would not deal with her.. Brenda would check my aids on her computer and make adjustments. I went to my 6thmonth checkup to find Brenda was gone and this lady was in her place. i will not deal with Her. I left a message at the Dansville location for Brenda but never heard back. When I do need new hearing aids I will not go here.
