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 Next Level Hearing Care by AudioNova, hearing tests are offered FREE of charge.

After a bad experience at another hearing aid provider I was sent here and it was truly a great experience! Brie got to know and understand my hearing needs and went far beyond what I had expected! I am looking forward to my fitting and on to better hearing!

I wasnt expecting much since we used the free offer from Audionova for a hearing test. However, Brie was professional, respectful and very caring. Explained things clearly and thoroughly. I felt like she had our best interest at heart. It was a worry free process. I am so thankful for Brie and Audionova and highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed.

EXCELLENT! AMAZING SERVICE! Many thanks go to Brie at AudioNova on Berkmar Drive for truly beyond-belief expertise and help with fine-tuning my new hearing aids. She’s an expert at programming the devices to fit my individual hearing needs, and has been incredibly patient with making tweaks that help me to access speech, streaming, music and usual surrounding sounds. She has made time to get me into the office quickly, sometimes the same day as my call. She has helped to make this big transition a pleasant and understandable experience. Thank you, Brie!

I didn't have high expectations since this was a free exam scheduled through a fb popup ad, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I had a great experience with Brie at Next Level Hearing. I did not feel rushed or pressured at any time. She gave me printed results right away, explained them very thoroughly, went over all my options, and sent me home with a set of hearing aids to try for a week. Together we downloaded the app, connected to Bluetooth, and tinkered with the adjustments. It was amazing to hear what I have been missing all these years! Quite a difference from my ENT/audiologist who I'm still waiting to get results from 3 weeks later, and who basically said 'we have hearing aids here if you want to make an appointment on your way out'. The hearing aids I tested are very comfortable (much better than the earbuds I've been using for audiobooks), unobtrusive (no problem with my glasses), inconspicuous (my friends couldn't tell I was wearing them even after I pointed them out), and no awful distortion or amplification of background noises. I wore them to a large group dinner in a friend's home, to a group dinner in a noisy restaurant, to game events in both a large room and a small room, to a movie screening, and to a Mardi Gras event with live zydeco music, as well as every day around our house which is typically very quiet. The sound quality was superb in all situations. The model I tested was the Phonak Audéo R Infinio 90, I believe. I would recommend Next Level. They aren't the cheapest out there, but the service is unbeatable.

In the past I've had trouble with the office not having the appointment information that the central registration group made, but fortunately that wasn't the case this time. The person working the front desk now is exponentially better than some of the people who have been there in the past. She's polite and professional and seems very bright (again, a nice contrast to some of the previous people who worked there).

I went to Next Level Hearing to have a hearing evaluation, and when the hearing expert checked my ears she discovered that one of my ears contained a large amount of wax which was hardened. A test could not be conducted until I had the wax removed. The state of VA has a law which prohibits this process to be done by a hearing aid expert. I will now have this taken care of by a professional and will return to have the test. I’m appreciative that I was given this information and the information that I received about what might lie ahead for me. For that reason I will give this visit a 5 star rating and am looking forward to my next visit.

Connie was so friendly upbeat, professional And personable! My partner and I went together to see her for a hearing test and discussion of my options with new hearing aids. The entire experience from the moment we got there, and she greeted us, to the moment we left and she invited us to get in touch if she could be of further help, was positive, and she had such great energy. She was professional, skilled, knowledgeable, empathetic, and kind.We felt she was sincere and truly wanted to help people to hear better and enjoy a fuller life. Due to insurance funding issues, I have shopped several hearing aid stores in Charlottesville. And by far, the best treatment I got was by Connie at Next Level. Update: Have been wearing my new Opticon hearing aids, for over a full week now. And the difference out on my Bike and in conversations and enjoying broadcast media has been so positive and helpful to me.(Just like Connie and the kind people at Next Level). And the new hearing aid benefits are opening possibilities I could not have imagined. Having dealt with a hearing loss for years, and now getting the help I needed is a real life - changer. And whole new world of sound that has opened for me.A Heart- felt Thank You!

Due to recent staffing changes (for the BETTER) my latest appointment was delayed a bit. Cynthia, out front, is a refreshing change from the usual droll, indifferent voice that typically answered the phone at this location. She is enthusiastic & projects an image of genuine helpfulness. Connie, the current clinician, provided me with the most thorough & comprehensive exam I have ever had. A hearing aid user herself, she is very aware of the issues of hearing loss & communicated with me on both a personal & professional level. I highly recommend this location of Next Level Hearing Care.
