Hearing Aids and Assisting Listening Devices
Evaluations
Hearing loss is a common medical problem with many
causes, including inner ear changes related to aging
and noise
exposure, ear infections, structural changes within
the middle ear, and even tumors. Hearing loss is not
something
to be laughed at and you don't want to do a "simple
fix" such as going to a hearing aid shop in the
mall to get a hearing aid. If you have hearing loss,
you need to be first evaluated by a ear specialist so
that more serious conditions such as tumors can be ruled
out. Then, if appropriate, your physician can provide
hearing aids for you. Dispensing Hearing Aids
We are ear specialists and as part of our treatment of ear
problems, we dispense a variety of digital, programmable,
and conventional hearing aids. We have well-trained masters-
and PhD-level audiologists who assist our physicians in
this endeavor.
Our audiologists will:
- Perform
your hearing tests
- Fit
your hearing aids
- Service
the hearing aids if any problems arise
We also provide our patients with a trial period during
which their hearing aids may be returned if they
are not satisfied. Don't Put It Off
So, if you or your spouse or a family member are having a
problem with hearing, please schedule a consultation with
our physicians so the problem can be accurately diagnosed
and, if appropriate, treated with hearing aids.
