This information seems overwhelming, but that is where we come in. American River Hearing wants to pull you out of those statistics. We want you to have the tools needed to get back into the conversations, the family events and whatever it is that makes you, you.

Although hearing loss is not reversible, hearing aids can enhance what hearing you have left. Technology today reduces background noise, reduces feedback considerably and improves clarity. The hearing aids are programmed by computer and feature multiple settings, so they can be adjusted specifically for you and your situation. The size of hearing aids and the many styles of earpieces make them more comfortable and less noticeable. Call us or visit us today for a free consultation in which we will assess your situation and discuss your options. Remember, we offer free hearing testing with the purchase of hearing aids!
