Helping You Reconnect to Life! Meet Joseph Mutter, the “Miracle Man” of Hearing

By Gabby Gregory

Before speaking with Joseph Mutter, a certifi ed hearing aid specialist and owner of Mutter’s Hearing Center, I considered my beloved grandmother’s less-than-ideal hearing abilities as an unfortunate situation, but also a rather comical one. I, along with multiple family members, have poked fun at my grandma over countless years, cracking up whenever she practically shouts, “What did you say,” or wildly giggling any time she’s given a strange response to a question she’s misheard (or, more accurately, misunderstood). Of course, we’ve all told her that she needs to get hearing aids, but she never listens, despite hearing and understanding that part of our conversation. So, we continue with our jests, treating her hearing loss as merely a slight inconvenience that will eventually get taken care of, whenever she or someone else has the time or inclination.

After speaking with Joe Mutter, I realize how very wrong I and my family have been about my grandmother’s hearing. It’s not funny that she can’t hear or understand what’s going on, and it’s not fair that we, her family, have not taken the issue seriously enough to make a change. In fact, it’s not only not right for my grandmother to continue suffering from hearing loss, but it’s also incredibly unhealthy for her.

It is imperative for people, regardless of age, to address their loss of hearing, whether mild or severe, as soon as possible. Unfortunately, most people wait long after they’ve fi rst noticed their hearing problems to consult with a hearing aid specialist. Whatever the reason for it, this decision to put off seeing a professional is never wise, as hearing ability only declines further and further without proper hearing care, until, one day, there is no turning back. Joe explains, “There is such a thing as waiting too long, especially with hearing loss.” He continues, “Not to sound scary, but it truly is ‘if you don’t use it, then you lose it.’”

Joe specializes in working with patients who have all types of hearing issues, including those with severe and/ or profound hearing loss. His incredible skill in treating hearing loss has motivated at least one patient to refer to him as a “Miracle Man,” as he was able to restore her hearing after she spent years going to other specialists and trying different hearing aids that, ultimately, never worked. Indeed, over his past 20+ years as a hearing aid specialist, Joe has helped countless people, from patients who have never before spoken with a hearing aid specialist to those who have existing hearing aids that emit distracting, and often painful, feedback. His personalized approach is always so successful because he explains, “Every single person has individualized hearing. There’s no one size fi ts all.”

For this reason, Joe actually takes the time to fi t each and every patient’s hearing aids, ensuring not only that they always function properly, but also that they always feel comfortable. Additionally, he consistently follows up with his patients to make certain that they are happy with their regained hearing.

Hearing loss isn’t as simple of a fi x as picking out a hearing aid, putting it in your ear, and going about your day. In fact, Joe clarifi es that “Hearing and understanding are as different as day and night. So you might get that hearing aid, but you still might not understand because you haven’t been counseled.”

Another factor that makes Mutter’s Hearing Center unique, then, is that Joe’s patients not only receive personalized hearing care, but also compassionate counseling and education about living with hearing aids. In fact, Joe encourages patients to bring a family member or two with them to their appointments so that they too can understand how to support your transition to regaining hearing, e.g. speaking more slowly and clearly, whether in person or over the phone, instead of racing through sentences.

Joe encourages anyone and everyone to visit his practice for a complimentary hearing test, explaining, “It doesn’t cost you anything to get checked out. You can be in and out of here in 10 or 15 minutes, just to have a baseline hearing test. And then if we fi nd something, we can deal with it.”

Joe also stresses, “Don’t shop for hearing aids, shop for the person fi tting the hearing aids.” The best way to fi nd

Don’t take your hearing, or that of your loved ones, for granted, like my family and I did with my grandmother. It’s truly unhealthy and unsafe to let your hearing loss go untreated! There are options for all budget levels, including fi nancing and payment plans, and many insurance policies will actually help cover the cost of hearing aids. Most importantly, though, is the fact that Mutter’s Hearing Center offers quality, comprehensive care in a friendly atmosphere.
