Frequently Asked Questions

Our amplifiers work by capturing sounds through their microphones, amplifying the signals, and delivering the amplified sound to the user's ears through a receiver (Series 5) or sound tube (Series 3). They are generally simple to use and can be adjusted for volume based on individual preferences.

Yes, our wireless Series 5 model can be used with both Android and Apple.

Yes, our hearing amplifiers come with adjustable volume settings to accommodate various environments and situations. Through our Warbler wireless app, the user can also adjust clarity and volume as well as noise reduction for improved listening experiences.

Yes, our hearing amplifiers are available online only through the warbler website. A prescription is not required for their purchase.  

One week on average. 

No, Warbler hearing amplifiers offer amplification suitable for only mild to moderate hearing losses. 

Not at this time, however through your purchase, you will receive 1 year’s supply of batteries.

One is better than none, however as human beings we are wired binaurally, and with that in mind,  if you are experiencing hearing loss in both ears, then a binaural fitting will make your hearing experience that much more natural.  

They are robust and water resistant but not waterproof. 

Our hearing amplifiers do not offer audio streaming features at this time.

In most cases, insurance does not cover the cost of hearing amplifiers because they are considered over-the-counter devices. However, it's recommended to check with your insurance provider to confirm coverage options and explore potential reimbursement for hearing-related expenses.

Our hearing aids are based on the US OTC model. They are designed of mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss sufferers. If you have a mild to moderate sensorineural, meaning age related hearing loss, then Warbler hearing aids can be a solution for you.

Our hearing aids are fully bluetooth compatible for both Android and Apple. You can accept phone calls, listen to music, all the features associated with Bluetooth can be done with our hearing aids.

Yes, you can. Our app allows you to adjust the amplification per frequency, allowing you customize your sound to your preference.

Yes, we do recommend that you have a full hearing test performed by a professional before going forth with hearing aids. A hearing test can be provided to you by one of our distributors in your area.

The lifespan of your hearing aids depends greatly on how they are maintained. Typically, their lifespan is between three to five years.

Not exactly. Our hearing aids are water resistant but not water proof. They are designed to withstand moisture but not total water exposure.

An audiogram is a graphical representation of a person's hearing ability. It is a diagnostic tool commonly used by audiologists to illustrate the softest sounds a person can hear at different frequencies.

During an audiogram, the individual wears headphones and listens to tones at various frequencies and volumes. The audiologist records the softest level at which the person can detect each tone. The results are then plotted on the audiogram graph.

The x-axis represents frequencies, measured in Hertz (Hz), while the y-axis represents the intensity or loudness of sounds, measured in decibels (dB). The graph shows the hearing threshold at different frequencies across the audible range.

The audiogram helps identify the type, degree, and configuration of hearing loss. It provides crucial information for the development of appropriate treatment plans, such as hearing aids or other interventions, to address the specific needs of an individual's hearing impairment.

Normal hearing is typically represented by thresholds within the range of 0 to 20 dB across all frequencies.

Sensorineural hearing loss is typically represented by an elevation of thresholds on the audiogram, indicating damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve. Conductive hearing loss is often indicated by elevated thresholds primarily in the low frequencies and can be caused by issues in the outer or middle ear.

While audiograms are essential for identifying hearing loss and its general characteristics, they may not pinpoint the exact cause. Additional tests and medical evaluations may be required for a comprehensive diagnosis, especially if the hearing loss is related to underlying health conditions.

Audiograms are recommended at least once during childhood and then periodically throughout adulthood, especially if there are concerns about hearing loss or exposure to loud noises. Frequency may vary based on individual health, age, and risk factors. Consultation with an audiologist can determine the appropriate schedule.

No, audiograms are not exclusively for those with hearing issues. They are also used as baseline assessments for occupational hearing conservation programs, in research studies, and for monitoring changes in hearing over time. They play a crucial role in both prevention and intervention strategies related to hearing health.
