Hearing aids are a tool used to treat certain types of hearing loss. They may also be used to manage tinnitus, as part of a larger tinnitus management strategy. When a person hears, they hear with their brain. Upon completing a comprehensive audiological evaluation, Dr. Cross will be able to make the best recommendation for your specific needs.
Should a hearing aid be the most appropriate solution, then the correct acoustics as well as a patient’s goals and day-to-day demands must be taken into consideration in the proper selection of the right tool for the job. A hearing aid is not a one-size-fits-all device. Legitimate hearing aids are prescription instruments.
Eavesdrop Audiology offers all styles of hearing aids produced by the trusted, established major manufacturers.
A popular strategy for fitting hearing losses which places the speaker directly in the ear canal, without obstructing the canal with a custom shell or other aid hardware.
Hearing aids with processors that fit directly into the external ear inside a one-of-a-kind custom shell.
A general class of aids that have the processor placed behind the ear. BTE has also often come to mean a device with a tube that runs from the aid into the ear canal.
Personal sound amplification products (PSAPs) and over-the-counter (OTC) "hearing aids" are other devices that do not meet the rigorous evidence-based fitting standards of a traditional hearing aid. They are considered by Dr. Cross to be appropriate tools for certain minor hearing-related issues, and he is happy to discuss the appropriateness of these products for an individual patient.

Harmful noise exposure can have a significant impact on a person’s continued participation in and enjoyment of sound-producing recreational activities, as well as in long-term work satisfaction. For this reason, Eavesdrop Audiology offers a broad selection of custom ear protection and hearing conservation tools.
Designing a strategy using custom in-the-ear molds allows users to continue enjoying loud recreational and work activities, while reducing the harm it does to their ears.
Whether you are a serious musician or a frequent recreational music listener, custom in-the-ear products allow the most precise admittance of sound, for the optimal music listening experience.
Gun use invariably produces sounds that create a pressure wave that can damage the sensitive mechanics of our ears. Luckily, a smart shooter can be armed with a custom in-the-ear attenuator to remove the damaging sounds while still allowing desired frequencies to pass through.
