TRY IT BEFORE YOU BUY IT

I
t started over 32 years ago, when Debbie
Swift, founder and owner, set up her first
“office” in rented space of a pharmacy.
Her mission then was to help people
that were having difficulties hearing to hear
better with the assistance of hearing devices.
And 32 years later, her personal and business
mission has not changed. As the practice
has grown to four locations and staff that
includes Doctor’s of Audiology and Board
Certified Hearing Instrument Specialists
it is everyone’s mission to help those in
our community hear better and continue
enjoying life.
We understand that in today’s market
(and more than ever before) individuals
are flooded with options for amazing
hearing aids that are packed with incredibly
powerful features. This is exciting; because it
means there are plenty of options, but it can
also make choosing the right hearing aids
feel a bit overwhelming.
Over the 32 years, Swift Audiology has
realized that the choice is in the patient’s
hands. It is you that makes the decision,
that determines what sounds best, what fits
best, and it’s our job to be there to support
and guide you along the way. At Swift
Audiology, we care deeply about ensuring
that you are paired with hearing devices
that most perfectly match your preferences,
needs, lifestyle, budget and hearing profile.
That is why we are proud to offer
The
Hearing
Aid Test Drive™. We believe

that using in-office measurement and data
points alone are not the most effective
means for determining the right hearing
aid for you. We believe the only way to truly
know which hearing aids are right for you is
for you to test them in real-time, and in real
life.
You wouldn’t buy a car without a test
drive, so why would you buy a hearing aid
without one?
The Swift Audiology Hearing Aid
Test Drive Process looks like this. It’s Simple.
1. Schedule an appointment with one
of our audiologists or board certified
hearing instrument specialist for your
comprehensive hearing screening.

2. If it is determined that hearing aids are
a good option for treating your hearing loss,
we will discuss the wide range of hearing
aids that may be a good fit for you. You will
be able to try different technology levels
with no commitment or deposit required.
Best of all, you will be able to take the
hearing aids home to test drive the very
same day.

3. We understand that test driving hearing
aids is not the same as test driving a car. You
can’t simply walk your hearing aids around
the block and determine if they are right
for you. To truly “test drive” hearing aids, we
know that you will need to experience them
everywhere you go. Test your hearing aids
at work, at the gym, at the grocery store,
watching TV, at a restaurant, at church,
and in the park. Take the time you need to
determine if the hearing aids are right for
you.

perfect hearing aids for you, they may not
actually be the right fit for your hearing loss
prescription. It is important to find hearing
aids that match your hearing profile and
lifestyle for best results. Don’t worry, we’ll
help you figure out what those are.

feel this is a great way for our patients to get
the hearing help they need. This program
helps us overcome some of the challenges of
finding the best hearing aid for our patients.
First, our brains have an adjustment
period to hearing aids. All too often, new
patients expect hearing aids to work just
like glasses, where you put them on and
voila - your hearing is perfect. Keep in
mind that the benefits of hearing aids are
not instantaneous. In fact, some people
experience a bit of an awkward adjustment
period when they are first getting used to
their aids. This is just one more reason we are
proud hearing
