Make Everyday Listening Easier
Hearing aids are only one part of better communication. Assistive listening products and hearing-aid accessories can make it easier to hear television, use the telephone, maintain your devices and manage specific listening situations.
Colorado Hearing helps adults in Montrose, Colorado, select products that are compatible with their hearing needs and current equipment. Call 970-318-2010 to ask about product availability or schedule a consultation.
Assistive Listening Products
Some listening situations remain challenging even with well-fitted hearing aids. Assistive devices can bring sound closer, provide visual text or connect directly with compatible hearing technology.
Available product categories may include:
- Personal amplifiers
- Television listening systems
- Captioned telephone options
- Hearing-aid batteries
- Cleaning and maintenance supplies
- Compatible hearing-aid accessories
- Custom earmolds and earplugs
Products and compatibility can change, so please call before visiting if you need a particular item.
Television Listening Systems
A television listening system can deliver sound directly to a headset, speaker or compatible hearing aids. This may help you hear dialogue more clearly without raising the television volume for everyone else in the room.
Options may include dedicated television listening products such as TV Ears® or wireless accessories designed for compatible prescription hearing aids. The right option depends on your television, hearing technology and preferred way of listening.
Captioned Telephone Options
Captioned telephones display written captions during telephone conversations while allowing you to listen to the caller. This can provide additional support when speech is difficult to understand over the phone.
Colorado Hearing can discuss products such as CaptionCall® and help you determine whether a captioned telephone may support your communication needs. Service availability and eligibility requirements are established by the provider.
Personal Amplifiers
A personal amplifier can bring a nearby speaker’s voice closer in certain situations. It may be useful for one-on-one conversations, meetings or other focused listening needs.
Personal amplifiers are not the same as prescription hearing aids. They are not programmed to a comprehensive hearing evaluation and may not provide appropriate support for permanent hearing loss. If you regularly struggle to understand speech, begin with a comprehensive adult hearing evaluation.
Hearing-Aid Batteries, Supplies and Accessories
The right supplies can help keep hearing aids clean, powered and working properly. Depending on your devices, available products may include:
- Disposable hearing-aid batteries
- Charging equipment
- Wax guards and filters
- Domes and compatible earpieces
- Cleaning tools and drying products
- Television and phone accessories
Bring your hearing aids or product information with you so our team can check compatibility. If a device is not working correctly, learn more about our hearing-aid repair and reprogramming services.

Help Choosing the Right Product
Not every product works with every hearing aid, telephone, television or listening need. Brian Bennett can review your goals and current equipment before recommending an appropriate option.
If your hearing has changed or you have not had a recent evaluation, testing may be recommended before choosing an amplifier or hearing technology. This helps distinguish a product-access issue from a change in hearing or hearing-aid performance.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hearing Products
Do I need an appointment to purchase hearing-aid supplies?
Call before visiting so our team can confirm that the item is available and compatible with your hearing aids. An appointment may be recommended if your devices need cleaning, adjustment or repair.
Can I connect my hearing aids to a television or smartphone?
Many current prescription hearing aids can connect directly or through a compatible accessory. Compatibility depends on the hearing-aid model, phone, television and operating system.
Is a personal amplifier the same as a hearing aid?
No. A personal amplifier makes nearby sound louder for a particular listening situation. A prescription hearing aid is selected and programmed according to your hearing evaluation and individual listening needs.
Can you help with accessories for hearing aids purchased elsewhere?
Usually, yes. Bring the hearing aids and any available model information so we can evaluate compatibility. Some privately labeled or discontinued devices may have limited accessory options.
Does Colorado Hearing sell over-the-counter hearing aids?
No. Colorado Hearing provides professionally selected and fitted prescription hearing aids. Personal amplifiers and assistive listening products are offered for specific listening needs and are not represented as substitutes for prescription hearing care.
