The HearingLife location at 8600 Woodward Avenue might be brand new to town, but their Hearing Instrument Specialist, Steve DeMari, has over 40 years of experience in the hearing industry.

“I’ve worked in different roles in the hearing industry for my entire career, and earlier this year the opportunity at HearingLife came up. I knew that HearingLife was a good company and I was excited to join the team.”

DeMari has a range of experience in the field – from working at the VA and in hospital settings to working on the manufacturing side for several hearing aid companies.

“Coming back to hearing care and fitting hearing aids is me going back to my roots,” DeMari says. “I like helping people with hearing loss.”

The first step to getting help with hearing is coming in for a free hearing test. In Woodridge, the hearing test is always free of charge, so anyone can find out how their hearing health is doing. It’s recommended to get a baseline hearing test starting at age 60, but you should come in sooner if you have any signs of hearing loss.

“The sign of hearing loss that people mention most often is trouble hearing the television,” says DeMari. “Chances are the TV is not getting quieter, so if you’re turning up the volume higher than you used to, that’s a sign you need a hearing test.”

Other signs include trouble hearing on the telephone, difficulty hearing a whisper or trouble hearing in restaurants.

“People are often apprehensive about needing hearing aids,” says DeMari, “they have an idea of what the hearing aids look like or sound like, but hearing aid technology has come so far over the years. Just in my time in this field, it’s amazing what hearing aids can do now.”

HearingLife offers a full range of hearing aids from major manufacturers at a variety of price points. Plus, our insurance experts will help you utilize your benefits to make hearing aids more affordable.

“It’s mainly about staying connected with family and friends – people will put off hearing care and cope as long as they can, but coping means you’re missing things, and some things are pretty important.”
