Do you carry different types and styles of hearing aids?
Yes! Our San Luis Obispo office offers a full range of advanced Beltone hearing aids, including the award-winning Beltone Envision™.

Will you help me find which hearing aid is right for me?

After a comprehensive evaluation and discussion about your daily activities, our licensed Hearing Care Practitioners recommend Beltone hearing aids—discreet, rechargeable, Bluetooth-enabled, or others—that best fit your comfort and budget. This dedication to personalized care is why we earned Newsweek’s Best in Customer Service for Hearing Care in 2025.
Which hearing aid is better, behind the ear or in the ear?
Both behind-the-ear (BTE) and in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids offer unique benefits. The right choice depends on your hearing needs, lifestyle, and comfort preferences—local factors in San Luis Obispo, like humidity or temperature, can also play a role. BTE models are powerful and versatile for moderate-to-severe hearing loss, while ITE styles are custom-molded for a discreet, easy-to-use fit. Our licensed Hearing Care Practitioners will help you find the perfect fit during your personalized consultation.
Should you have a hearing test before buying hearing aids?
Yes — a professional hearing test is the first and most essential step before buying hearing aids. A comprehensive evaluation identifies the type and degree of hearing loss you have — including conditions like speech-in-noise difficulty. Beyond that, it allows licensed hearing care practitioners to design the hearing aid solution that best fits you and your lifestyle.
How much will Medicare pay for hearing aids?
Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not typically cover hearing aids or hearing aid fittings. However, some Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans may offer partial coverage or discounts for hearing aids and hearing care services. Coverage varies by plan and provider, so it’s important to check your benefits or speak with a licensed representative. We're more than happy to help you review your insurance options and explore financing options. If you have any questions regarding Insurance, financing, or Medicare, please call our San Luis Obispo office.
Do you have audiologists or licensed hearing care providers on staff?
Yes— we have licensed Hearing Care Practitioners on staff. Depending on your needs, you may be seen by an audiologist or a licensed Hearing Care Practitioner. All our providers are highly trained to perform hearing screenings, fit and program devices, and provide personalized, ongoing care. If you have specific questions about our provider credentials or care approach, give our San Luis Obispo office a call!
How much do hearing aids cost?
Hearing aid prices typically start around $1,000 per device. The total cost depends on the model, features, and your insurance coverage. We work directly with you to find the best hearing aids for you, and to ensure your budget, insurance, and financing needs match. We carry a wide range of options—including rechargeable, Bluetooth-enabled, and AI-powered devices—to match your hearing needs and budget. We’re happy to walk you through pricing during your free hearing screening and offer flexible financing options to make hearing care more affordable.
How soon can I get fitted with hearing aids after my hearing evaluation?
