hearing aidsThese are the most popular instruments currently available.  Although they sit on top of your ear, they are extremely comfortable, natural sounding, and very well hidden.  These are a far cry from the large hearing aids of the past.  Using modern technology, they employ multiple microphones that change their focus in noisier social situations like restaurants or meetings.  They also have noise reduction capabilities. Dr. Jeffrey Worgul, owner of County Hearing and Balance, said “These instruments are so smart they will even tell you where they are if lost!”
