Hearing Aids at Island Hearing Services

Personalized solutions. Local support. Clear, confident hearing.

Choosing hearing aids can feel overwhelming, there are countless brands, styles, features, and price points. At Island Hearing Services, I take the guesswork out of the process. Every recommendation is personalized to your hearing needs, your lifestyle, and your budget, and every patient receives clear, honest guidance without pressure.

As a small, independently owned practice right here on Martha’s Vineyard, you’ll always get patient-centered care, transparent pricing, and support from a local audiologist who is here for you long-term.

Hearing Aid Services

  • Your hearing care shouldn’t feel rushed. During your consultation, we:

    • Discuss your lifestyle, communication needs, and goals

    • Review your audiogram and talk through what it means

    • Explore technology options — from simple, easy-to-use models to advanced devices with Bluetooth, background-noise filtering, and rechargeability

    • Let you listen through devices programmed to your own hearing profile, giving you a true sense of how hearing aids can help

    • Make a plan that feels comfortable, clear, and tailored to you

    My goal is to give you the information you need to make a confident, informed decision, without pressure or confusion.

  • A hearing aid is only as good as its fitting. Your fitting appointment includes:

    • Programming based on your audiometric results

    • Personalized adjustments to comfort, sound quality, and clarity

    • Hands-on training so you feel confident using and caring for your devices

    You leave with devices that are set correctly for your ears, not just the manufacturer defaults.

  • If you were a patient of the recently closed audiology or ENT office on Martha’s Vineyard, please know that you’re welcome here. I’m happy to continue your hearing care and provide consistent, reliable support right here on the island.

    Whether you purchased your hearing aids elsewhere or are simply due for your annual hearing evaluation, I can help with:

    • Hearing aid adjustments and reprogramming

    • Routine cleanings and maintenance

    • Troubleshooting and minor repairs

    • Annual hearing tests

    • Ongoing, personalized follow-up care

    You don’t need to start over or switch devices unless you want to, I’m able to work with most hearing aid brands and will make sure your current technology is performing at its best.

    My goal is to make your transition as smooth as possible so you can continue receiving the hearing care you need without leaving the island.

  • Every manufacturer has strengths, and no single brand is right for everyone. I work with all major hearing aid manufacturers, including:

    • Phonak

    • Oticon

    • Resound

    • Starkey

    • Widex

    • Signia

    • Unitron

    This allows us to match your needs and not limit you to a single brand.

  • Insurance coverage for hearing aids can be confusing because it varies widely between plans.

    Medicare (Part B) does not cover hearing aids or hearing-aid–related services.
    For everyone else, coverage depends on the details of your individual health plan. Some plans offer a true dollar-amount benefit, while many others provide access to a third-party discount program (e.g., TruHearing, Amplifon, Nations Hearing) rather than paying toward the cost of devices.

    If your plan includes one of these third-party hearing aid benefits, you can absolutely use it at Island Hearing Services. I’ll review your insurance with you, explain what your plan provides, and outline all your hearing aid options, including performance levels, manufacturers, and pricing.

    And unlike many national discount programs that rely on high-pressure sales tactics, you’ll never experience that here. My goal is simple: to help you make the best choice for your hearing, your lifestyle, and your budget, with clear information and zero pressure.

    If you’re unsure what your plan includes, I’m always happy to check it for you.
