Your Hearing

The solution is simple!

Communication is critical in life. Your job and social interactions are all more rewarding when you can communicate confidently – and hearing is vital to that. Research shows that people who get hearing aids benefit from:

  • Fewer instances of confusion and disorientation
  • Increased ability to concentrate and multitask
  • Better memory skills and a greater ability to learn new tasks
  • Alertness and awareness of their personal safety
  • Increased earning power and more control over their lives

Step 1: Test your Hearing

If you show one or more of these signs, you should get your hearing tested:

  • Being told by others that you have hearing loss
  • Frequently asking others to repeat themselves
  • Turning the TV to a volume others find loud
  • Having trouble understanding conversations in noisy places
  • Difficulty hearing women and children’s voices
  • Feeling like others are mumbling
  • Avoiding social situations that were once enjoyable

You can test your hearing by using our free online hearing test. Better yet, schedule a comprehensive audiological examination with us — to get a precise and accurate measurement of your hearing.
 

Step 2: Join the Club

If it turns out you have hearing loss, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Hearing loss is the third most common chronic physical condition in the United States, and is more prevalent than diabetes or cancer1. Millions of people have hearing loss, including:

  • Half of US adult 60 and older2
  • Two-thirds of adults over 703
  • Four of five people 85+4

Step 3: Know the Effects of Hearing Loss

Many people ignore hearing loss because they think they can live with it or the consequences aren’t that bad. But years of research show otherwise. Untreated hearing loss has been proven to impact our physical and mental health and, ultimately, our quality of life. 
 
The growing list of issues linked to hearing loss include: 

  • Relationship issues
  • Fatigue
  • Anxiety
  • Social isolation
  • Depression
  • Cognitive decline and dementia
  • And more

We have the experience and equipment needed to perform a thorough and proper audiological evaluation, then can prescribe the solution and treatment protocol that best achieves your unique needs.
 
"If you want to address hearing loss well, do it sooner rather than later … before brain structural changes take place."
