Virtue Hearing Podcast

Navigating Medicare and health insurance can be confusing—but it doesn't have to be. In this episode, Christopher Medina, a second-generation hearing aid specialist and owner of Virtue Hearing Aid Center, sits down with Cindy Varela to break down the essentials of Medicare plans, costs, and hearing aid coverage.   If you've ever wondered: ✔️ What's the difference between Medicare Part A, B, C & D? ✔️ Do you really need Part B, or can you skip it? ✔️ How do insurance choices impact hearing aid coverage? ✔️ Are you overpaying or missing out on better benefits?   Christopher has dedicated his career to helping people hear better. With free hearing screenings, risk-free trials, and expert guidance, he ensures patients get the best solutions for their needs.  

Have you heard of the term "Brain Hearing"? In this episode, Gary Dorf explains how your brain is what actually explains speech and how your ears are just the middlemen in this process. What is even more interesting is how the Oitcon More device acts as your brain does and is trained to hear the difference between noise and speech. The brain learns by experience and so does the Oticon More. If you're interested to see how this device works first hand come into one of our facilities and try them risk-free!   If you want to experience this for yourself take advantage of our free hearing exam: https://virtuehearing.com/   (323) 530-0223 virtuehearingaidcenter@gmail.com   Hours: Mon-Fri. 9-5PM, Weekends by Appointment Only   Montebello Location:  134 S Montebello Blvd. Montebello, CA 90640 Los Angeles Location: 434 East Washington Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90015

When you're coming in to get fitted for your hearing aid the first time it is always best to bring someone close to you. It could be a family member, spouse or even a friend. The reason why is when you are getting fitted there is going to be a lot of information thrown at you that you might not remember initially.    We are always here to answer any questions you may have after the fitting but we recommend a second person at the appointment that also can help you remember some crucial information. You're going to learn how to operate your device, how to put it on, etc. Not only that, but you're going to start to hear soft sounds that you might not be used to initially and this might overwhelm you at first.  So when you schedule your fitting bring that special someone and we look forward to hearing from you soon!   If you want to experience this for yourself take advantage of our free hearing exam: https://virtuehearing.com/   (323) 530-0223 virtuehearingaidcenter@gmail.com   Hours: Mon-Fri. 9-5PM, Weekends by Appointment Only   Montebello Location:  134 S Montebello Blvd. Montebello, CA 90640 Los Angeles Location: 434 East Washington Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90015

An audiogram is a graph of information of someone's hearing abilities. When you see the graph, on the y-axis (left-hand side), you'll see your hearing levels in decibels. On the x-axis (right side) you'll see the frequencies in hertz. When you get to a hearing aid dispensers office and take your hearing test you'll see a blue and red line.

Before we share with you guys our new episode later this week we wanted to inform you once more what the initial hearing loss signs are so you can be aware if you or anyone around you is experiencing these symptoms you can catch it early!   It is always better to handle it sooner rather than later.

Is the Livio Edge AI Custom Rechargeable worth it? We break it down for you in this video. These hearing aids have a really unique feature called "Edge Mode" which uses artificial intelligence to optimize noise management and reduce background noise in challenging listening environments. You also don't need batteries for them- just put them on the base (which holds up to 3 days worth of charges) and they'll charge up. I'd definitely recommend these hearing aids to my tech-savvy and active clients. I'd also recommend them to people who have severe hearing loss. But before you go out and get them, make sure to confirm they're compatible with your smart phone. https://www.starkeyhearcareindependence.com/hearing-aid-style/smartphone-compatible/ If you're wondering whether hearing aids are right for you, we can help!

Today, we're giving you a 2021 mid-year update on what's going on with hearing aids and the mask. (1) We're seeing increased demand in custom hearing aids that only go inside the ear. That's because it can be uncomfortable and frustrating to wear hearing aids with your mask. (2) Some patients who get those custom-style hearing aids are feeling the "occlusion effect," which is when you hear your voice echoing or feel a vibration when you talk. (3) Once we stop wearing masks, just know that custom-styles also won't be as comfortable as the receiver-in-canal hearing aids that I recommend.

Hearing aids seem pretty similar to glasses, but do they really work the same? In today’s episode of Common Myths, Chris Medina shows you just how different they are. Glasses improve your vision as soon as you put them on, but hearing aids can take time to adjust. In fact, it's normal for many people to go through counseling and auditory training so they can get used to their hearing aids.
