Hearing loss isn’t a condition found only in older adults. In fact, nearly half of the persons with hearing loss are below the age of 65. A recent clinical study by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the National Institute of Health confirmed that hearing aids provide a substantial benefit to users in both quiet and noisy situations, and do much to improve the quality of life for persons with hearing loss. Most hearing difficulties can be helped with individually selected/prescribed and fitted hearing aids or other assistive listening devices. In other words, you don’t have to suffer with hearing loss. More than 28 million Americans suffer from hearing loss. Although hearing loss is the natural result of aging, hearing loss can also result from heredity, exposure to loud noise, birth defects, illness, head trauma, and certain medications. Hearing loss can develop slowly, often worsens with age and is generally permanent.
Our audiologists will conduct a comprehensive audiological assessment to determine the type and severity of your hearing loss. A hearing aid evaluation will be done to determine which type of amplification is most appropriate for you. Every hearing loss is unique and each person with hearing loss has individualized listening needs. Life style must be individually evaluated when developing a plan to improve communication skills for both pediatric and adult populations. Our relationship with our patients may last for years as the hearing loss and other conditions change.
