Is It Time for a Hearing Test?

 

Hearing loss is a sudden or gradual decrease in how well you can hear. It is one of the most common conditions affecting older and elderly adults. Having trouble hearing can make it hard to understand and follow a doctor’s advice, to respond to warnings, and to hear doorbells and alarms. It can also make it hard to enjoy talking with friends and family. All of this can be frustrating, embarrassing, and even dangerous.

Do others complain the TV is too loud?

Do you have trouble hearing in a noisy room?

Do you have more trouble hearing women than men?

Do you ask others to repeat themselves?

Do you avoid going out because you’ll struggle to hear?

Do you notice any ringing or buzzing sounds in either ear?

We Treat Your Hearing

We have years of experience providing exceptional hearing healthcare to individuals of all ages. Each patient is unique in what they do with their lives, and that’s taken into account when providing them with the best solution to their hearing loss and tinnitus. Many factors such as severity of hearing loss, lifestyle, activities and budget determine which hearing aids or tinnitus solution is best for you. We’ll help you decide on the best hearing aids to suit your hearing loss.

What to Expect During Your First Visit.

If you’re new to our office, you might be wondering what’s involved in your visit. At your first visit, the audiologist will begin by asking questions that pertain to your ears and hearing. This is so we can collect as much information about your condition as possible. The audiologist will complete a battery of tests that are designed to tell us how different parts of your ears and hearing are working. 

Finally, we explain everything to you because we believe your journey to better hearing should be a partnership with you and your hearing healthcare provider.  And we believe that journey should begin by making you sure you’re as well informed as possible about your problem and all possible solutions.
