Just a few of our services include:
"Dr. Recher was very kind and patient. He took all the time necessary to learn about my hearing loss history. I did not feel at all rushed or pressured. Being profoundly deaf in one ear, Dr. Recher was not pushy about possible hearing aid options for me. He understood that I am very comfortable with my hearing capabilities and gave me numerous helpful tips to protect my hearing. He is very knowledgeable. It was an extremely pleasant experience overall. He made sure all of my questions were answered, clearly and thoroughly."

There have been many exciting advancements in hearing aids in recent times. These include programing hearing aids remotely using our Telecare system, and smartphone app that allows patients to both adjust the volume of their hearing aids and communicate directly with Dr. Recher. However, the most exciting advancement in hearing aid technology has to be something we all take for granted:
Own voice processing.
When you talk, your speaker (your mouth) and your receiver (your ears) are close enough together that you hear your own voice in a distinct manner. In the past, when someone had a hearing aid, they either heard their own voice as though it was muffled or heard their own voice as though it was coming to them from another part of the room. Among all of the adjustments a hearing aid user made, hearing their own voice was the most difficult.
Fortunately, Signia has revolutionized the hearing aid industry with its own voice processing system. Now, Signia’s hearing aids allow the person to better hear the world around them while hearing their own voice the way they would if they were not wearing the hearing aid. This development is especially welcome for those who speak for a living or simply love to chat with friends. It will not surprise us if more manufacturers follow suit, but Signia has become the leader in hearing aid technology for this simple, but vital development.
