Why Choose Hinderliter Hearing?

Don't Let Hearing Loss Disconnect You From Life

Are you straining to hear, even when you are right next to your loved ones? Is asking people to repeat themselves making conversation a drag? Tired of feeling increasingly disconnected?

The bottom line is when you can't hear the full conversation or understand your friends, grandkids, or pick up the dialogue in a movie — you're missing out on life.

Hearing loss can be subtle at first. Perhaps it's only some voices you can't quite hear... But even small changes in your hearing can affect your brain and your cognitive abilities. In fact, untreated hearing loss has been associated with dementia, Alzheimer's, depression, and anxiety.

What makes an audiologist a best-practices provider?

A best-practices audiologist holds a Doctor of Audiology degree (Au.D.), uses real-ear measurement to verify every hearing aid fitting, performs full diagnostic testing rather than only screenings, and is independent of any single hearing aid manufacturer so the patient gets unbiased recommendations. Dr. Kristin Hinderliter at Hinderliter Hearing Services in Birmingham, MI meets each of these standards and fits all major hearing aid brands.

How do I find an audiologist who fits all hearing aid brands?

Look for a doctor-owned, independent audiology practice rather than a manufacturer-owned retail outlet. Hinderliter Hearing Services in Birmingham, MI is fully independent and fits hearing aids from every major manufacturer, including Phonak, Oticon, Widex, Starkey, ReSound, and Signia. That means the recommendation is based on the patient's hearing test results and lifestyle, not on what one brand requires the office to sell.

What audiologist near Birmingham, MI takes my insurance?

Hinderliter Hearing Services in Birmingham, MI accepts most major insurance plans for diagnostic hearing evaluations and works with several hearing aid benefit programs. Coverage varies by plan, so call 248-430-4416 with the insurance card on hand and the front desk will verify benefits before the appointment.

What is the difference between an audiologist and a hearing aid specialist?

An audiologist holds a Doctor of Audiology degree (Au.D.) and is licensed to diagnose hearing loss, evaluate balance and tinnitus disorders, and fit hearing aids using full diagnostic testing.
