Hidden hearing loss is a condition where your standard hearing test looks normal, but you still struggle to hear clearly in noisy environments. It happens when the nerve connections between the ear and brain are damaged. Why doesn’t a normal hearing test show hidden hearing loss? Standard tests measure the softest sounds you can detect in a quiet room. They don’t measure how clearly your brain processes speech in noise. That’s why patients often feel dismissed. How is hidden hearing loss diagnosed? Specialized tests like Speech-in-Noise (QuickSIN) and Otoacoustic Emissions (OAEs) can uncover problems that a standard audiogram misses. Can hearing aids help hidden hearing loss? Yes. Even with a normal audiogram, modern hearing aids with directional microphones, AI noise reduction, and advanced processing can dramatically improve clarity in noise. What is auditory training? Auditory training programs (like LACE) are like physical therapy for your brain’s listening system. They help strengthen the brain’s ability to focus on speech and filter out background noise.

5 Myths About Hearing Aids That Could Be Holding You Back | Dr. Layne Garrett, Utah Audiologist
Hearing aids have come a long way, but the myths around them haven’t. In fact, these outdated ideas keep millions of people stuck, struggling, and missing out on life. I’m Dr. Layne Garrett, audiologist and founder of Timpanogos Hearing & Tinnitus in Utah County. For over 20 years, I’ve helped thousands of people in American Fork, Spanish Fork, and across Utah reconnect with the sounds that matter most. In this episode of The All Ears Hearing & Tinnitus Podcast, I’m busting the five biggest myths about hearing aids—including: 🚫 Myth #1: Hearing aids are only for seniors 🚫 Myth #2: They’re big, bulky, and unattractive 🚫 Myth #3: They cost a fortune 🚫 Myth #4: They just make everything louder 🚫 Myth #5: They won’t restore normal hearing anyway Here’s the truth: Hearing loss can affect people of all ages—even young adults. Today’s devices are sleek, discreet, and even invisible. Options range from affordable OTC hearing aids to advanced prescription technology. Modern devices use AI to reduce background noise and enhance speech. Hearing aids help your brain adapt, reconnect, and thrive—much like glasses do for your vision. 📍 At Timpanogos Hearing & Tinnitus, we offer full-service hearing care in Utah County. Whether it’s a first-time evaluation, advanced technology, or ongoing support, we’re here to help. 🌐 Learn more: 📖 Free resources & guides: 👉 Have you believed any of these myths? Let us know—we may cover your questions in a future episode. Keywords: hearing aid myths, hearing aids Utah, audiologist Utah County, hearing aids American Fork, Spanish Fork hearing clinic, AI hearing aids, Auracast hearing aids, hearing aids Utah ❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Hearing Aids Are hearing aids only for seniors? No. Hearing loss can affect people at any age—even kids, teens, and young adults. Genetics, medications, illness, and noise exposure are common causes. Early treatment protects both your hearing and your brain health. Are modern hearing aids really invisible? Yes. Many of today’s devices are so small they sit deep in the ear canal and are nearly invisible. Even behind-the-ear styles use thin, discreet wires that are hard to see. Are hearing aids too expensive for most people? Not necessarily. There are more affordable options than ever. We help patients in Utah County find the right fit for both their needs and their budget. Do hearing aids just make everything louder? No. Modern hearing aids use artificial intelligence to process sound, reduce background noise, and highlight voices. They don’t simply amplify—they make sounds clearer and smarter. Will hearing aids restore my hearing to normal? Not exactly. Just like glasses don’t permanently fix vision, hearing aids don’t “cure” hearing loss. But they dramatically improve speech understanding, reduce listening effort, and reconnect you with the people and sounds that matter most. Where can I get hearing aids in Utah? At Timpanogos Hearing & Tinnitus, we’ve won Best of State in Auditory Services 14 times and helped thousands of people in American Fork, Spanish Fork, and across Utah County find the right hearing aids and ongoing care you can’t get from big-box stores or online sellers.
