Is it time for Hearing Aids?

There have been signs that it might be time to get hearing aids. But you’re still not sure that you’re the one with the problem. After all, sometimes other people ask you to repeat what you said and you don’t seem to be the only one having a problem hearing in a restaurant or at church. How do you know when it’s time to see if you might have a real problem?

→ DO OTHERS COMPLAIN THE TV IS TOO LOUD?

→ DO YOU HAVE TROUBLE HEARING IN A NOISY ROOM?

→ DO YOU ASK OTHERS TO REPEAT THEMSELVES?

→ DO YOU AVOID GOING OUT BECAUSE YOU’LL STRUGGLE TO HEAR?

Case History

We will begin by taking a detailed history. We’ll ask a series of questions about your medical, work and personal life as it relates to your ears and your hearing.

Pure Tone Audiometry

Wearing headphones, your hearing levels are measured using tones and words. Providing us with sensitivity levels and discrimination ability.

Physical Examination

The next step is an examination of your ears. We’ll thoroughly examine your ears for any physical condition that might indicate a need for a medical referral.

Speech Recognition

A series of words will be presented at varying intensity (loudness) levels to assess how well an individual is able to process speech information.

The Testing is Done, Now What?

HEARING LOSS & DEMENTIA

Research not only shows a connection between hearing loss and dementia, but a Johns Hopkins study of older adults found that hearing loss actually accelerates brain function decline. Some experts believe that interventions, like hearing aids, could potentially delay or prevent dementia. Research is ongoing.

YOUR HEART & HEARING LOSS

Cardiovascular and hearing health are linked. Some experts say the inner ear is so sensitive to blood flow that it’s possible that abnormalities in the cardiovascular system could be noted here earlier than in other less sensitive parts of the body.

HEARING LOSS & DEPRESSION

We will explain the results to you and if the results indicate a problem, we’ll provide you with recommendations. We believe your journey to better hearing should be a partnership with you and your hearing healthcare provider.
