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 Ohio Hearing & Audiology by AudioNova, hearing tests are offered FREE of charge.

Dr. Yopa was very professional and helpful, taking a great deal of time to orient me to the options for my new hearing aids. Dr. Stein worked me into the schedule for that day for a consult regarding some concerning findings on the audiogram.

I've had a great experience with Dr. Valentine while going through the process to determine if I would benefit from a hearing aid. Throughout the testing process and the follow-up receiving of my hearing aid, Dr. Valentine's people skills and communication style have the effect of making you feel very comfortable and receptive to her knowledge and instructions while learning how best to utilize your new hearing aid. She has a caring attitude and takes her time with you. Her professionalism is beyond reproach. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of improved hearing.
