UpState Hearing Instruments has five convenient locations throughout Northern California: Redding (our flagship location), Chico, Red Bluff, Susanville, and Weaverville. Each office is staffed with experienced hearing specialists committed to improving your quality of life through better hearing, making quality care accessible no matter where you live in the region.
We offer a wide range of hearing technology options, including invisible devices that sit deep in the ear canal, rechargeable hearing aids that eliminate the need for battery changes, and smart hearing aids that connect seamlessly with smartphones and other devices. Our specialists work with multiple manufacturers to provide solutions tailored to your preferences and budget, ensuring you get the best technology for your specific hearing needs.
Many insurance plans provide some coverage for hearing care and hearing aids, though coverage varies widely. As part of our commitment to top-level care, we have specially trained team members who can check your insurance coverage on your behalf, simplifying the process and providing you with clear information about your benefits. We also offer financing options to help make better hearing affordable.
The adjustment period varies for each individual, but most people adapt to their new hearing aids within a few weeks. During this time, your brain needs to relearn how to process sounds you haven't heard clearly in some time. Our specialists provide comprehensive guidance and support throughout this adjustment period, including follow-up appointments to make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal sound quality and comfort.
For adults with no known hearing issues, we recommend a baseline hearing test at age 50 and then every 1-3 years after that, depending on your risk factors. If you already have hearing loss or wear hearing aids, annual testing is recommended to monitor changes and ensure your hearing aids are properly programmed. Those with occupational noise exposure or other risk factors may need more frequent evaluations.
Yes, we provide comprehensive repair services for most major brands of hearing aids. Our experienced technicians can handle many repairs in-office, while more complex issues may require sending the device to the manufacturer. During repairs, we can often provide loaner devices to ensure you're not left without hearing assistance. Regular maintenance and timely repairs help extend the life of your hearing aids and ensure optimal performance.
If you suspect you have hearing loss, the first step is to schedule a comprehensive hearing assessment at one of our five convenient locations. Our specialists will conduct thorough testing to determine the type and degree of hearing loss you may have. Based on these results, we'll discuss your options and recommend appropriate solutions tailored to your specific needs, lifestyle, and preferences. Early intervention leads to better outcomes, so don't delay seeking help if you notice changes in your hearing.
