7 Hearing Aid Questions Answered by a Utah Audiologist | Dr. Layne Garrett

Thinking about hearing aids but not sure where to start? You're not alone. Many people feel overwhelmed by the options, costs, and conflicting advice about hearing care.

In this episode of All Ears: The Hearing & Tinnitus Podcast, Dr. Layne Garrett — audiologist and founder of Timpanogos Hearing & Tinnitus — answers the 7 most common questions patients ask about hearing aids. These are the same real-world conversations happening every day inside his Utah clinic.

👉 Here's what you'll learn in this episode:

  1. The real cost of hearing aids (and why it varies so much).

  2. Whether hearing aids actually help you hear better in real life.

  3. What insurance and Medicare really cover (and what they don't).

  4. How modern hearing aids handle background noise in restaurants and groups.

  5. The difference between Costco, online devices, and medical-grade hearing care.

  6. Why two hearing aids are almost always better than one.

  7. How to try hearing aids risk-free — and why most patients wish they hadn't waited.

This episode is all about cutting through the noise (pun intended) so you can make confident, informed decisions about your hearing health.
