Caring, Compassionate and Local Audiological Care in Maryland

Jacobs Audiology Feels Like Family

A Personal Message from Founder Marcie Jacobs

After helping over 10,000 people to achieve better hearing over the past 25 years, I’ve learned that the most important deciding factor between the people that achieve better hearing and those that don’t is not the hearing technology but the decision on who they decide to partner with.

You’re on this website because you’re looking for the right partner for yourself or a loved one.

Hand on heart, my promise to you is that if you are looking for a level of care and compassion that is beyond anything that you could find in Maryland, then Jacobs Audiology is for you.

Whether you have a question, need professional guidance or would like to discuss your unique set of circumstances, then I will personally make myself available to help.

Jacobs Audiology Comprehensive Hearing Assessments

When Was The Last Time That You Had Your Hearing Tested?

Although we all regularly have our teeth checked, our cholesterol tested, and a yearly physical, hardly any of us regularly check our hearing.

Yet with approximately 30 million Americans over the age of 12 having some form of hearing loss in both ears, it’s highly encouraged to have your hearing tested.

If you are concerned about your hearing or you are concerned about a loved one’s hearing, then the first step is to have a comprehensive hearing test.

It’s quick, it’s non-invasive, and, in most cases, your insurance pays for your hearing test.

How It Works

Jacobs Audiology Advanced Hearing Aid Technology

How Hearing Technology Has Progressed

Many of us have a stigma towards hearing aids as we remember the large clunky devices from yesteryear. However, the latest hearing technology has rapidly changed with many of the devices being extremely small, discreet, and, in some cases, invisible.

In fact, many patients tell us that their friends, family, and colleagues had not even noticed them.

Best of all, new technology no longer just amplifies your hearing, but it also amplifies your life with advanced connectivity to your smartphone, tablet, and television to make streaming music, sound, and phone calls seamless.

PATIENT STORIES

Patient Stories

Sounds were given back to me in an instant

For years, his wife and children had pestered him about going to have a hearing test. But he didn’t feel it was necessary. Instead, he preferred to turn up the volume on his television and ask others to repeat themselves. “Denial was a big factor,” he remembers. “When I was growing up, if you saw someone with hearing aids, people thought there was something wrong with them. And then I suddenly found myself in their position.”

I suddenly realized what I was missing

Like many kids, Joe developed a love of music from an early age. “I play guitar, and I’ve played for years – mostly too loud when I was younger,” he admits with a grin.
He enrolled in the military after high school as a linguist. That’s when he learned he had damaged hearing. After his hearing aid fitting, his world changed overnight. “Everything sounded really vibrant – it was like my mind wasn’t wired for that anymore,” he says.

SaWan’s life changed for the better after she was fitted with new hearing technology at Jacob’s Audiology.

SaWan found out she had a hearing loss in her late twenties. She was flying to Italy for work, but once she landed, both her eardrums had ruptured. Over the years, she invested in hearing aid technology from Miracle Ear and Costco. “Those experiences were a disaster,” she says. “I paid too much money for hearing aids that didn’t improve my hearing situation, and in some cases, I couldn’t hear anything out of the devices.

When friends and family are struggling with their hearing Karen tells them, 'Just go see Marcie'

“My daughters and husband would tell me ‘You really need to have your hearing tested,’” she says. “You don’t miss it because you don’t hear it, but it becomes annoying to your family.” Like a lot of people, she was worried about the cost of hearing aid technology. But as her condition worsened, she found out her insurance company would step in and cover a large portion of her investment in new devices.

Danayjah felt nervous about her first appointment but Marcie made her feel really comfortable.

Danayjah began showing signs of a hearing loss back in elementary school. As the years went by, those around her realized that this behavior was probably to do with an impairment. And after consulting an audiologist, her family set her up with a pair of hearing aids that they’d bought online. “I had those hearing aids for two years, and it was a struggle,” she says. “I’d usually have to take the work home and just teach myself.

I really appreciated the fact that Randi listens to what I have to say

In the early 2000s, Andrew developed type 2 diabetes, “At that point, I became very aware of the possibility that I might not wake up.”

An organization called NEADS, offered support and introduced him to Champ, to aid him with his disability. It wasn’t long before the four-legged companion became Andrew’s best friend and, above all, hero.

After coming to terms with his disability, this initiated a change in Andrew, where he decided it was time to visit a specialist and came across Jacobs Audiology. Since having his hearing aids fitted, his life has changed drastically.
