Patients often ask me about the differences between the hearing aids we dispense and the “hearing aids” they can buy on TV, the internet, or at their local drug store. First of all, if you can buy it without a prescription…it is not a hearing aid.
Helping people stay connected is one of my favorite things about audiology! However, I have so many patients who report difficulties with phone conversations. Many of them are surprised to learn of a free solution for their phone conversation concerns.
If you have trouble hearing on the phone, due to hearing loss, you may be eligible for a complimentary CaptionCall phone with free captioning service. This powerful amplified telephone allows you to hear and read your phone conversations, so you will not miss a single word.
This service is also available through a mobile app for smart phones and tablets.
Included with this free service is the familiarity of a regular phone, large text captions,
speakerphone availability, English and Spanish captions, and customizable ringer and handset volumes.
To get started, all you need is an internet connection and professional certification that you have a hearing loss. I can help you complete the certification once you complete your hearing evaluation with The Riesberg Institute.
I can’t wait to HEAR from you,
Dr. Star

What if I told you that hearing aids can cost less than your monthly cell phone bill? What if I told you there is a way to upgrade your hearing aids every three years; without buying a new set?
Typically, when I discuss hearing aids with a patient, I am asked two questions: “What do hearing aids look like?” and “How much are they going to cost me?” Both of these questions are addressed during a no-cost Hearing Aid Evaluation at the Riesberg Ins
An otolaryngologist, also known as an ear, nose and throat(ENT) doctor, is trained to help people who suffer from hearing loss, sinusitis pain, throat/vocal difficulties and other disorders that affect the head and neck.
It may seem odd that a simple inflammation of tissues in your sinuses could cause such discomfort and pain. If you’ve ever had sinusitis, you know that it can be a truly miserable condition.
Facial pain…headaches…nasal congestion…cough…sore throat…Sinus infections are miserable. If you’re suffering from this condition, a doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with home remedies to help ease your discomfort.
