Allowing You to Test Drive New Hearing Technology To Experience the Difference For Yourself
You wouldn’t buy a car without a test drive, and we don’t expect you to invest in hearing technology without first experiencing it for yourself in your everyday life.
That’s why we’re one of the only groups of hearing care experts that encourage you to test drive new hearing technology for 14 days, with no deposit, contract, or fuss, allowing you to truly experience the difference around your lifestyle and those areas that are difficult.
The biggest shock that many new hearing aid wearers experience is that today’s hearing aids are significantly different to those that they may remember their grandparents wearing.
The latest hearing aids are streamlined, user-friendly, and so discrete that few people will know that you are wearing them. In fact, many of our patients tell us that their friends and loved ones have not even noticed them.
Best of all, the latest technology allows you to effortlessly stream phone calls, music, and audio directly from your cell phone, television, or computer into your ears.

With micro-digital technology, they allow you to comfortably focus on specific conversations in noisy backgrounds, hear the sounds that you have been missing, and allow you to feel more connected than you have previously.
This ensures that hearing technology doesn’t just amplify your hearing but also amplifies your overall ability to connect with the world around you.

Hearing Loss Stories
My first experience of Upstate hearing Instruments were the immediate increase in hearing levels
There was multiple indicators that signified that I had a hearing loss, but I had a small hesitation to address this because of the stigma and concerns about resistance to sweating, exercising, batteries and convenience.

My advice to anybody that is considering visiting Upstate Hearing Instruments is that it’s the place to go
I was struggling to hear at work which was impacting my job. My first impressions of Upstate Hearing Instruments was how great Ken’s presentation was. As I’m practically deaf without my hearing aids, they have greatly impacted my life.

The staff is warm and friendly, and they served very good cookies and coffee
After I retired, I noticed the hearing in my left ear was not good. I got an aid for that ear. I lived in the Bay area and purchased the aid there. Upstate Hearing is a very pleasant place. The staff is warm and friendly, and they served very good cookies and coffee.

I thought everyone there was very professional, they answered all of my questions, and they were compassionate
I first realized that I might have a hearing loss when I was unable to hear normal conversations in a crowd. At first, I was concerned that I was too young for hearing aids and about the stigma of wearing hearing aid devices. During my first visit to Upstate Hearing, I thought everyone there was very professional, they answered all of my questions, and they were compassionate.

I found everyone at Upstate Hearing to be friendly, not pushy, and the demos were a plus
I first noticed that I had a hearing loss several years ago. Before coming to Upstate Hearing, I was concerned that I would not like them [hearing aids] and that I’d get possible feedback noise. I found everyone at Upstate Hearing to be friendly, not pushy, and the demos were a plus.

I thought the office was friendly and kind, and the technician was very accurate in describing my symptoms
I first realized that I might have a hearing loss when I was working and noticed that previously I could tell when my phone was ringing no matter where I was in the room, and then I couldn’t tell where the ringing was coming from. I noticed even when I was next to my phone that I couldn’t distinguish which phone was ringing.
