FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Below are answers to commonly asked questions related to hearing loss, hearing
aids and more. We invite you to contact us with any other questions you may
have.

See all FAQs

IS DAVID DEKRIEK AN AUDIOLOGIST OR HEARING INSTRUMENT SPECIALIST?


Dr. DeKriek is an Audiologist with over 20 years experience helping those in
Southern California. He earned his Doctor of Audiology at the University of
Florida and has been awarded his Board Certification in Audiology. He is also a
fellow of the American Academy of Audiology.

Audiologists are health-care professionals who evaluate, diagnose, treat, and
manage hearing loss, tinnitus, and other issues of the ear. To learn more about
what audiologists do, watch the video below.

DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?


Hearing aids are generally not covered by health insurance companies, although
some do. Financing is usually available. For eligible children and young adults
ages 21 and under, Medicaid will pay for the diagnosis and treatment of hearing
loss, including hearing aids, under the Early and Periodic Screening,
Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT) service.

Also, children may be covered by their state’s early intervention program or
State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).

Medicare does not cover hearing aids for adults; however, diagnostic evaluations
are covered if they are ordered by a physician for the purpose of assisting the
physician in developing a treatment plan.

Since Medicare has declared the BAHA a prosthetic device and not a hearing aid,
Medicare will cover the BAHA if other coverage policies are met.

CAN HEARING AIDS REALLY HELP ME?


Hearing aids are primarily useful in improving the hearing and speech
comprehension of people who have hearing loss that results from damage to the
small sensory cells in the inner ear, called hair cells. This type of hearing
loss is called sensorineural hearing loss. The damage can occur as a result of
disease, aging, or injury from noise or certain medicines.

A hearing aid magnifies sound vibrations entering the ear. Surviving hair cells
detect the larger vibrations and convert them into neural signals that are
passed along to the brain. The greater the damage to a person’s hair cells, the
more severe the hearing loss, and the greater the hearing aid amplification
needed to make up the difference.

However, there are practical limits to the amount of amplification a hearing aid
can provide. In addition, if the inner ear is too damaged, even large vibrations
will not be converted into neural signals. In this situation, a hearing aid
would be ineffective.

HOW DO I KNOW WHICH HEARING AID IS BEST FOR ME?


The hearing aid that will work best for you depends on the kind and severity of
your hearing loss. If you have a hearing loss in both of your ears, two hearing
aids are generally recommended because two aids provide a more natural signal to
the brain. Hearing in both ears also will help you understand speech and locate
where the sound is coming from.

You and your audiologist should select a hearing aid that best suits your needs
and lifestyle. Price is also a key consideration because hearing aids range from
hundreds to several thousand dollars. Similar to other equipment purchases,
style and features affect cost. However, don’t use price alone to determine the
best hearing aid for you. Just because one hearing aid is more expensive than
another does not necessarily mean that it will better suit your needs.

A hearing aid will not restore your normal hearing. With practice, however, a
hearing aid will increase your awareness of sounds and their sources. You will
want to wear your hearing aid regularly, so select one that is convenient and
easy for you to use. Other features to consider include parts or services
covered by the warranty, estimated schedule and costs for maintenance and
repair, options and upgrade opportunities, and the hearing aid company’s
reputation for quality and customer service.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET A TEST? AT WHAT AGE SHOULD I BEGIN?


If you’ve noticed any changes in your hearing, visit us at Fidelity Hearing
Centers for a hearing test. For seniors over the age of 60, we recommend yearly
hearing tests to make sure you catch your hearing as early as possible. Our team
of hearing specialists will determine your level of hearing loss, ask you
questions about your lifestyle and hearing needs, and help you find the perfect
device that will have you hearing at home, at work, and wherever you need a bit
of extra help to hear.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A COMPREHENSIVE HEARING EVALUATION?


Comprehensive hearing evaluations involve non-invasive tests that evaluate your
current hearing abilities. Initially your audiologist will spend time learning
about your medical history, risk factors for hearing loss as well as your
hearing concerns if any.

Next, the audiologist will place you in a sound proof booth and perform a series
of tests. At the conclusion of these tests, the Audiologist will review your
Audiogram and discuss treatment options if appropriate.

WHAT CAUSES HEARING LOSS?


There are a few causes of hearing loss. Age related hearing loss, or
presbycusis, is caused by the normal wear and tear to your hearing that you
experience throughout life. As the cells in the inner ear deteriorate and begin
to wear out, you’ll experience hearing loss. This hearing loss is part of the
normal aging process, but should still be treated with hearing aids.

Hearing loss can also be caused by exposure to excessively loud noise, and this
is called noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). NIHL can be sudden, resulting from
one extremely loud noise, or can happen after repeated exposure to dangerous
noise levels at work, concerts, sports events, etc. When you’re exposed to loud
noise, the delicate hair cells in the inner ear are damaged, and are no longer
able to send signals to the brain required for normal hearing.

Hearing loss can also be genetic, and 2 to 3 out of every 1000 babies are born
with hearing loss.

IS HEARING LOSS PREVENTABLE?


Age-related hearing loss is a normal part of aging, and can’t be prevented.
Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), on the other hand, is preventable. To prevent
noise-induced hearing loss, it's recommended that you avoid environments with
excessive noise. If being around loud noise is unavoidable, then hearing
protection is essential.

Wondering how loud is too loud?

If you have to yell to be heard by a person next to you, you need to be wearing
hearing protection. Noises you want to protect your ears from include loud
music, motorcycles, power tools, heavy machinery, firearms, fireworks, and
personal listening devices with the volume on high.

I ORDERED IN EAR MONITORS AND JUST NEED IMPRESSIONS MADE, CAN YOU HELP?


Yes. Dr. Dekriek has performed hundreds of impressions for musicians in Los
Angeles County. If you require a custom impression for an in-ear monitor,
contact our practice to schedule an appointment. Learn more about our musician
earmolds here.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE CUSTOM EARPLUGS OR IMPRESSIONS FOR IN-EAR
MONITORS?


Patients can expect to wait about 2 1/2 weeks for custom earplugs and musician's
plugs.  When musicians want custom impressions to ship to their own laboratory
for their monitors, I provide the impressions during the same visit. Impressions
for musician's monitors are $50 for the pair and they are guaranteed.
