How can you tell if you have hearing loss? Only a qualified hearing health professional can tell you for sure, but here are five signs you may not be hearing your best.
Over-the-counter hearing aids will soon be available to the general public. But how do you know if they're right for you? Here's what we know about OTC hearing devices.
Untreated hearing loss can negatively impact our relationships with family and friends and particularly with those closest to us, such as our romantic partners.

She has worked in the non-profit realm for 14 years and is committed to providing excellent hearing aids at an affordable price.

“I have been going to Debbie for my hearing aids for the past 5 years. She is always very helpful, patient and up to date with the current technology. Getting use to my new rechargeable hearing aides! I brought my prescription from my doctor but Debbie will test your hearing.”

“My husband and I met Debbie at a senior expo several years ago and we never looked back. Debbie evaluated my hearing problem and fitted me with the appropriate hearing aids that from the first day I wore them have changed my life for the better. She follows up with reminders and only changes what is absolutely necessary. She is the ultimate professional; knowledgeable and caring. She is absolutely right when she says she doesn't sell hearing aids, she helps people hear better. I have recommended her services to many satisfied relatives and friends and will continue to do so with confidence in her ability and integrity. ”

“I was very happy to be recommended to Audiology with a Heart. Debbie and Fred have always been so very helpful as well as being so knowledgeable in their field. Because I was always so pleased with all their services, I have recommended others to them who are also very pleased with the services they received. I wish them continued success as they are providing a valuable and much needed service to our community.”

“Debby has always been able to fit me in when I had a problem while I was working. It’s nice that she has Saturday hours for those who work plus it seems like problems with the aids happen on the weekend.
She and Fred are always pleasant and helpful.”

“Dr. Debra and Mr. Fred, what can you really say? I have read all these wonderful reviews and I am not so good with words. My story started when I was 27 and I noticed that I was losing my hearing along with my mind. It was very difficult for me to accept that this was happening to me. I went through many surgeries to fix the problem too no avail. Then came the 'hearing aid game' I will call it. Seems everyone wants to sell the “Best “ aids to you and after 4 different sets from 4 different companies they never worked for me. From the first time I met Dr. Debby she seemed to care and would go truly out of her way to help me feel very comfortable with my hearing. She has been helping me for 16-17 years. I really didn’t think I could cope with my hearing loss but she was always there for support. Fred also is very attentive, kind and knowledgeable with the hearing loss community especially when it comes to the phones and devices. I could not ever say enough for the way these wonderful people have been helping me for many years. Hopefully for many more because I would be lost without them. Sincerely, A Very HAPPY Person!”

“Debbie and Fred are professionals in their field and have made the fitting and purchasing of hearing aids a non-traumatic endeavor, an event that I had dreaded.
Debbie is dedicated to making sure I am comfortable and happy with my new hearing aids and has taken as much time with me as I needed. She has shown a lot of patience with a "non-techi." who attempts to operate her hearing aids through her phone. The proof is in the pudding, "I can hear!"”

“I recommend Audiology with a Heart to anyone who wants to feel like their being listened to. Dr. Shadoff was so polite and knowledgeable, and I wasn’t pressured on buying Hearing Aids. My wait to see the Dr. was less than 5 mins after I filled out my medical information. Finally a place that cares about their patients.”

I cannot thank them enough.”

“Audiology with a Heart is exactly that. They have the professional expertise to resolve your hearing challenges and the gracious hearts to treat you as the unique person that you are. My 93 year old aunt nor myself never fell like "a number in a cue" but, rather like part of a family.

“ I have been wearing hearing aids for 23 years. This is my sixth pair of hearing aids. This is the best experience I have ever had. No other professional tried so hard to get things right for me. Debbie has gone way beyond any expectations to help me hear since I have a severe hearing loss. My Resound hearing aids are amazing and I bless Debbie everyday for all she has done.
I am so grateful that Hearing With a Heart was recommended to me. ”

“When we moved to Florida in 2000. I got my first pair of hearing aids. Debbie was the only who could balance them. Then she left and I was heartbroken. Then a friend told me about Audio With a Heart and to my surprise, there was Debbie. I was thrilled. She fitted me and if there was any problem she fixed it. They are just the best. Our sons said we had to move back to N.J. We wanted to bring Debbie with us but alas. Keep up the good work Debbie n Fred. Miss your smiling faces.

“I came with a specific request for my hearing aids, and Debby got me what I requested. After several months, I realized that my hearing aids were not the right choice. There was no problem with selecting another brand, and there was no extra charge. Debby and her staff are very supportive.”

“Debby has been so helpful during a very stressful time. Losing your hearing and trying to make it in the working world is so difficult. Debby helped me find the best aids and equipment that would allow me to return to work, and I just got a job! I was not an easy patient I'm sure, and she was so compassionate and understanding, and she took the time to really listen and help me with my needs. I highly recommend her office! ”
