When hearing aids aren’t enough
Discover solutions that fit you, your goals, and your lifestyle.
Rediscover Clarity, Confidence, and Connection
Living with hearing loss can make even simple conversations feel exhausting. Many people find that, over time, their hearing aids just don’t give them the clarity or confidence they once had. Struggling to keep up in group settings, missing important moments, or feeling disconnected from loved ones can take a real emotional toll. At Hearing Associates, we understand how frustrating it is when better hearing still feels out of reach.
That’s why many people turn to cochlear implants as a way to reconnect with the sounds and voices that matter most. Instead of focusing on amplification alone, cochlear implants can help bring clarity back into everyday life — making conversations easier, boosting confidence, and helping you feel more present in social moments. At Hearing Associates, we’re here to guide you through the process with care, support, and solutions that fit your lifestyle.
If you’re ready to explore whether a cochlear implant could help you experience clearer, more confident hearing, reach out to Hearing Associates today. Let’s take the next step together.

I went for new ear molds for my hearing aids early this year, and with their suggestion and guidance, I now have a CI. It’s been really really great so far. Dr. Girard was so great about setting reasonable expectations and I think that has a lot to do with my success with the implant so far. The surgeon they work with is also top notch. The whole Hearing Associates team has been absolutely wonderful, including the students who I’ve gotten to interact with during my appointments.
Very easy medical facility to deal with. They make you feel right at home and Dr. Fetscher was very kind and thorough throughout the exam. Explained everything quite well, handled the ear cleaning just fine and gave me options and ENT people to see on my next steps for my hearing loss.
We were absolutely blown away by the care and support provided. My daughter was so nervous to go into the booth and do the tests and Dr. Adelman met her where she was at, provided outstanding comfort as needed, and explained everything in such a fun and easy to understand way. She explained results with us immediately after the test, answered questions and addressed concerns so kindly. I couldn’t recommend enough!
