Audiology and Hearing Aids
Hearing loss is one of the most common health conditions, especially in people over the age of 65. Hearing loss can result from many different causes such as exposure to loud noise, an inherited condition, injury or infection and physical changes within the ear caused by aging. Hearing loss usually develops slowly over many years so you may not realize your hearing ability has gotten worse.
You should have your hearing checked if you:
- Have to strain to hear normal conversation
- Ask people to repeat what they’ve said or often misunderstand people
- Turn up the television or radio volume excessively
- Watch other people’s faces to follow what they are saying
- Are having ear infections, dizziness or a ringing in your ears
Hearing Evaluation
If you suspect a hearing loss, you will want to have a complete evaluation. This evaluation consists of a series of diagnostic procedures designed to find out what type of hearing problem exists and what treatment procedures you might benefit from. An audiologist will perform several different tests that will be used to accurately and completely diagnose your hearing problem. To schedule an evaluation call 1-866-642-8142.
