A number of conditions can cause temporary hearing loss, and each has its own treatment. In most cases, temporary hearing loss is easily treated and has no lasting effects.
Hearing aids come with default settings, but your hearing care provider can also set up custom programs, such as music listening or for driving in a car.
Do you feel like you can hear but not understand words? This may mean you have high-frequency hearing loss--or even something unrelated, like an auditory processing problem.

“First time for a hearing exam and hearing aids. Dr. Harrington was thorough with the test, clear in his fitting and demonstration , and very personable throughout. I had to remove the aids unexpectedly, and the staff and Dr Harrington were very accommodating to fit me in a busy schedule. Thank you!”

“Dr. Luba took the time to evaluate my hearing loss and explained my options in detail. I’m very happy with my Oticon hearing aids and my hearing is vastly improved. The service I have received after my purchase of the hearing aids has been exemplary. I found Dr. Luba to be very knowledgeable, professional and caring. I highly recommend Dr. Luba and the staff at Main Line Audiology.”

“Phenomenal service! Ryan Shea, Au.D. was compassionate and knowledgeable. He is up-to-date on the latest research and devices available and could explain it in a clear and concise way. He made sure all my questions were answered and even sent an email to follow up. I have had hearing loss issues for about 10 years and this is by far the best experience I have ever had with an Audiologist (or any medical provider for that matter). After a particularly bad experience elsewhere, coming to Main Line Audiology was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. If you or a family member struggle with hearing loss and have been disappointed elsewhere, I would recommend checking out Main Line Audiology.”

“I have been a patient at MLAC for 20 years. Over the years, Dr. Goodman, with kindness, patience and a wealth of experience has helped me choose several hearing aids and fit and programmed them to meet my very complicated hearing needs. From time to time, she has not been available and I have needed to see another audiologist to address a problem. When you call MLAC with a problem, there's always an experienced audiologist available to see you, most often that same day. Each and every one of them has been absolutely wonderful. Most recently, I have worked with Nicola Glover- Her patience, sensitivity, and knowledge of the hearing instrument as well as the TV Streamer and hearing aid phone Apps are amazing! I'm grateful for all their help. ”

“On June 13, 2019 I purchased Phonak Audeo from Mainline Audiology Consultants PC. Dr. Bixler was very professional in testing the severity of my hearing loss. Shortly after I began using the new hearing aids I had a problem with one of them which was not working properly. I took it back for repair and was told that it had been sent back to the manufacturer. Surprisingly enough the manufacturer immediately replaced the defective hearing aid and evidently it was cheaper to do this than to try to repair it or it was not able to be repaired. I was disappointed that (1) I lost confidence in the reliability of the hearing aid and (2) in reading my purchase agreement with Mainline Audiology I realized that there was a 3-year loss and damage policy which required a replacement onetime only. There is also a deductible charged for replacement per hearing device.
I went back to Dr. Bixler to try and return the hearing aids within the 30-day timeframe I was given to finalize the purchase. Unfortunately, the date that I wrote down as the last date to return them was 3 days after the actual date. I don’t know how I made this mistake, perhaps because in December 2018 I suffered a hemorrhagic stroke. Dr. Bixler was very firm that I had exceeded the timeframe to test the hearing aids. On Friday September 20th I had a problem with my left hearing aid that sounded as if running water were echoing in my ear all day. I also noticed that when I put my left hand under my left chin to do the morning crossword puzzles there is a constant beep in the hearing aid. In addition on Saturday September 21st I discovered that my right hearing aid will not recharge at all. I tried recharging in the L and R side of the chargeable device to no avail. That Saturday, I called and left a message for Dr. Bixler but have not had any response to date.”

“Always helpful regardless of time. This afternoon I realized at 2.45 I had a problem that needed immediate attention. Called the office and was told I could be seen at 4.00. Even though the office was packed someone came to waiting room and took my hearing aid to speed process. Ten minutes later they came out with hearing aids repaired. They replaced the receivers. Then sent someone over to help get them connected on my iphone.
I WAS ELATED TO BE ABLE TO HEAR AGAIN WITHOUT STRESS! Result of prompt care.”

“Dr. Angela Pellittieri of Main Line Audiology Consultants, P.C. and I have been discussing the purchase of a hearing aid for my other ear over the last several months. I finally made a decision do so several weeks ago, and have been wearing both for the last three weeks. The improvement in my hearing has been wonderful. Now, I can hear birds singing when I rise in the morning and the peepers in the small pond near us. I no longer have trouble hearing our friends and neighbors in small or large groups and background noise is easily reduced because the hearing aids were carefully matched to communicate with each other. I have found that the investment in the second hearing aid is well worth the expense.”

“I am a new patient at the MLAC Narberth location and I have been in the care of Dr. Angela Pellittieri. Acknowledging and accepting one's hearing loss may not be easy and most likely may include a number of concerns. Dr. Pellittieri made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the examination and purchasing process, she is extremely caring and thorough. There have been no questions or concerns on my part that haven't been satisfied. One of my concerns about my choice of audiology care were the follow up visits and care after purchase. Dr. Pellittieri's follow up care is wonderful and I am encouraged to ask any questions and to schedule follow up care appointments. That is the kind of care you should receive.
I visited with a few audiology practitioners prior to my first visit to the Narberth MLAC office and from the first moment of my first visit I felt more comfortable at Narberth MLAC than any other practitioner's office.
Deborah and the rest of the front desk staff are a pleasant happy group and they make you feel welcomed!
Thank you Narberth MLAC!

“I have had only my initial appointment with Main Line Audiology. I met with Dr. Dena Franciotti. I cannot begin to tell you how completely pleased I was with my appointment. I knew I had hearing loss from my Meniere's but I did not realize to what extent. Dr. Franciotti took the time to review my hearing test, which was performed at the ENT's office, completely with my husband and myself. My visit was so thorough. While I initially was not thrilled to learn that I really needed a hearing aid, once I was fitted with one the difference was night and day. It just felt so good to HEAR clearly again instead of feeling like I had a head full of cotton balls! I look forward to hearing more clearly again. I was fitted with an OPN2 by Oticon and I am looking forward to using this to my optimum benefit. I cannot thank you enough Dr. Franciotti! ”

Angela Pellitieri assisted me in the purchase of hearing aids.Her advice and caring attitude were and continue to be invaluable to me.

She is an outstanding professional who places the needs of her patients first and foremost. I recommend Angela without reservation.”

“I am a trial attorney in the United States Virgin Islands and my hearing aids had been damaged during Hurricane Irma. While visiting family in the Philadelphia area, another audiologist refrerred me to Main Line Audiology Consultants in Narberth. I was seen by Dr. Angela Pellittierri. After I explained my emergency need for a replacement set of hearing aids and my limited time as I had to get back to work in the Virgin Islands coupled with the absolute necessity of quality hearing aids for the type of work that I do, Dr. Pellittierri went above and beyond to get me fitted with the right set of aids in a limited time frame. Most importantly, Dr. Pellittierri took the time necessary to adjust the aids and to answer my questions. Dr. Pellittierri is very professional: patient, kind, and competent. It is thus without reservation that I would recommend Dr. Pellittierri and Main Line Audiology Consultants in Narberth to anyone seeking to get help with their hearing. ”

“Main Line Audiology came highly recommended and has fully lived up to, even exceeded, my expectations.
I am primarily supported by Dr. Brian Harrington in the Jenkintown office. He has consistently demonstrated his high-level of professional expertise, and does so with a patient-friendly, caring attitude. On occasion, I have also seen Dr. Dena Tannenbaum, who was equally excellent and patient-friendly in her support.
I have found the scheduling of appointments to be easy and as accommodating as I could hope for, including some early morning appointments with Dr. Harrington (before general office hours) to accommodate my long commute to work.
I highly recommend Main Line Audiology for anyone considering their audiology options!”
