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.
“I went for the first time on appointment to Clarity during Covid19 Ugh. Karen introduced herself and made me feel very comfortable, since I was a little anxious during this craziness. I left there feeling like I had a new friend. She was professional, very knowledegable and I felt very at ease...Thanks for great service!! ”

“Karen at Clarity and Comfort is my husband's hearing specialist. Ed has been going to see her for appointments for the past 4 years. We consider her to be an expert in the field of hearing loss, and very well educated on the latest hearing device technology. She is extremely well qualified and has a wonderful, kind manner with her clients. She exercised extreme patience with the many times we came to her office for hearing aid adjustments after his purchase of a Starkey Hearing instrument from Clarity and Comfort. Karen was always available to meet with us and to customize Ed's hearing aids to meet the needs of his work and home settings. She understands the intricacies of how each hearing aid works and was able to fine tune Ed's hearing aid as his hearing loss increased over the 4 years Ed has been going to Clarity and Comfort, and she adjusted his hearing aids frequently so that he could get maximum use out of his hearing aid's capabilities. Overall, I would give Karen a rating of a 10+ for professionalism, expertise in her field and on being very personable and accommodating to individual needs. If we had not found Karen and chosen her as Ed's hearing specialist, I don't think he would have been able to continue to work and interact with other colleges and clients into his 80's since Karen's knowledge and experience in selecting the right hearing instrument enabled Ed to continue as an attorney( his life time profession) into advanced age. If you are looking for a hearing specialist, I would recommend choosing Karen Shaffer at Clarity and Comfort Hearing Center.
