Let Us Help You Reconnect Your Life WIth Others Through Better Hearing.
Behind-The-Ear
This style places the circuitry behind the ear, and is designed to meet the range of hearing from mild to profound. The BTE is an excellent choice for those with draining ears, waxy ears and small ear canals.
In-The-Ear (ITE)
This style is custom made fit your entire ear with no wires or tubes attached. The size of the ITE is a good choice for those with dexterity and numbness problems in the hands or fingers. Directional microphones can easily be mounted on this model.
In-The-Canal (ITC)
This style offers more concealment than the ITE. It fits down in the canal of your ear and is relatively unnoticeable. The ITC is an excellent alternative for those who cannot be fitted with a CIC due to ear size and hand dexterity.
Completely-In-The-Canal
This style offers the ultimate in concealment. However, this style requires good hand dexterity. The smaller size has greater battery consumption and is more delicate, requiring more repairs.
Open Fit (Open)
This style combines the occlusion-free properties of a BTE hearing aid with the sound quality and cosmetic benefits of a CIC. This style has proven quite effective in eliminating the plugged-up feeling individuals get from wearing traditional hearing aids.
After talking with the patient and reviewing the patient’s hearing test (audiogram) with the patient, Dr. Martine will carefully consider the patient’s hearing needs, lifestyle, and budget before recommending a hearing aid style.
After a hearing aid has been chosen and fit, the patient will be instructed on how to properly use and take care of the hearing instrument. Dr. Martine will monitor the patient’s progress through regularly scheduled follow-up visits. At Carolina Hearing Services we offer complimentary hearing aid cleanings at your convenience and a 45 day trial period to ensure your satisfaction.

"I have been a patient of Cathy Martine's since 1990. She has always looked out for my best interest. She has helped to save me money on the purchase of hearing aids. When digital was first starting, she encouraged me to stick with my analog aids due to price concerns. I now have two behind the ear digital aids that are wonderful. Whenever I have any problems with the aids, she and her staff are very helpful in making sure that if repairs need to be made (out of office) that I get a loaner aid so that I can continue my life.
I could not ask for a better doctor/patient relationship. Thanks for everything."

"I want to thank everyone at Carolina Hearing Services, Inc. The entire staff was very friendly and most helpful in every possible way. The difference my hearing aids have made in my life is unbelievable. I can hear things I have not been able to hear in a long time, and the hearing aids are easy to wear and are very comfortable.
I recommend Carolina Hearing Services, Inc., for anyone with a hearing loss."
- Barbara McConaughy
"I have been suffering from hearing loss for fifty years---since serving in the Army before the days of ear protection through years of business meetings and public life where speaking and hearing are clearly crucial. Thanks to Catherine's skill and her expert staff, I have a new and fine-tuned set of hearing aids and am acquiring the discipline to recover the joy of hearing. It is actually fun to visit Carolina Hearing for adjustments or batteries and fun conversation as well. Even her three dachshunds are pleasant.
I now have fewer misunderstandings with family and friends; greater enjoyment of concerts, movies, and, yes, even TV; and I don't have to repeatedly say, "Excuse me."
If you have hearing issues, talk to Carolina Hearing about them."
