What Our Patients Say

"I am so grateful that I discovered Kirsten McWilliams and the Hearing Solution several years ago. I had been to two audiologists previously over the preceding two years and was underwhelmed with the advice and service I received. From the moment I walked into the Hearing Solution and met Kirsten and received the thoughtful, informed advice and attention she gave me, I knew I had found my audiologist for life. She has never let me down. Prompt, insightful, innovative, and patient, proactive with the newest technology, if I have an issue, she’s invariably on top of it. She’s a real gem, and I am grateful."

You've been there. The announcement echoes through the airport, and everyone around you moves. You caught maybe half of it. Imagine hearing every word, not louder but clearer, streamed directly into your hearing aids the moment it's announced.

A new wireless technology called Auracast streams clear audio directly from public spaces like airports, churches, and theaters straight into compatible hearing aids. No special receivers. No wires. Just clearer sound, personalized to your prescription.

And it's already built into many of the latest hearing aids.

Discover how it works, where it's already in use, and what to ask us at your next appointment.

WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY

"I could not be happier with my experience! Dr. McWilliams was very thorough in her examination. She has options of hearing aids that her practice offers, and recommends two that she thought were best for me. She carefully calibrated the hearing aids, which are loaners, to see how they worked for me. I will return in several weeks to get the aids molded for my ears.

Without hesitation, I strongly recommend Dr. McWilliams and this practice."

Why Hearing Loss Isn't Just About Getting Older and Why You Shouldn't Ignore It

You probably didn't notice the day you stopped hearing the birds outside your window. That's how hearing loss works—it sneaks up on you.

Most people assume hearing loss is just part of getting older, but age is far from the only factor, and ignoring it can have real consequences for your brain, your emotional health, and your relationships. Research shows that treating hearing loss early can slow cognitive decline, reduce the risk of depression, and help you stay connected to the people who matter most. The sooner you take that step, the more you stand to protect.

Discover what the research shows and why early treatment matters in our latest blog.

World Hearing Day is a reminder that hearing care matters at every age—and if you've been wearing hearing aids for a while, it's a good time to check in.

If your grandchild's voice gets lost when the room fills up, or you're turning the TV up a little more each month, your hearing aids may not be keeping up with your needs. Today's devices are designed to make voices clearer in noisy places, connect directly to your phone and TV for easier listening, and last all day without needing a battery change. The difference between older hearing aids and what's available now can be surprising.

Learn what's changed and whether an upgrade could make your daily listening more comfortable.
