Millions of Americans develop some degree of hearing loss, ranging from mild to profound. Hearing aids can help many of them, especially with today’s revolutionary modern computer technology.

Jim Kraemer, Hearing Specialist and owner of Kraemer Hearing Services in West Fargo, has witnessed this revolution since 1985 when he joined the Sears hearing aid center. In 1994 he opened his own business at 2111 E. Main Ave in the ABC Trade Center.

“Today’s technology is light years ahead of what it was”, he said. “We can fit hearing aids to hearing losses with a greater degree of accuracy.” “Hearing Aids are no longer a last resort. In the future we’ll be able to do an even better job to match hearing aids with a patient’s loss.” 1

There are many factors to consider when purchasing a hearing aid today. Price, Type, Size, Quality, and Service just to mention a few.

It is also important to remember that while most manufacturer’s offer several price options, it is seldom that just one manufacturer’ has proven success in fitting all losses. There are also different types of hearing instruments to consider, conventional, programmable, digital. Each has advantages and disadvantages. But only after careful consideration of the patient’s loss, needs, and expectations, can specific recommendations be made. Generally speaking, the degree of rehabilitation and the time it takes to achieve that rehabilitation is directly related to the quality of the instruments and the follow up care. Better Quality, Better Care, Better Outcome.

At Kraemer Hearing Services we believe in the total rehabilitation process, and are committed to it. We have instruments from all price ranges starting at $400. But it is your individual hearing loss and hearing wants that will determine the actual price of your better hearing.
