Types of Hearing Loss We Treat

There are many types of hearing loss our professional hearing services can help treat. No matter your degree of hearing loss, our audiologist professionals have an effective treatment option.

The signs of hearing loss that come with natural hearing loss can be the most difficult to spot as they typically progress slowly over time. Additional hearing loss may occur without the patient realizing it.

Most commonly, natural hearing loss is due to an age-related breakdown in hearing or congenital issues someone may be born with.

Noise-induced hearing loss is more easily identified since it usually has a more noticeable onset. This issue is created by exposure to sounds above healthy decibel levels. This exposure could be a single, intense sound, like a gunshot or explosion, or repeated exposure from a noisy workplace or loud music concert.

In some cases, this may be a treatable hearing loss. If the severity of the hearing loss is due to physical damage to the inner ear, some treatments may be offered that could help reduce symptoms.

Outside the hearing care office, patients can take steps to complement the work of our professional hearing services.

First, follow all treatment instructions for treatable hearing loss and overall ear care. Your hearing condition is a team effort.

Invest in custom hearing protection for your noisy lifestyle. If you know you will be encountering high decibel levels or you work in a loud environment, you can help to prevent hearing damage by taking proactive protection measures.

While we can provide hearing aid repairs and support, you can help by investing in hearing aid care. Make sure you understand how to keep your devices in good condition and follow maintenance directions to keep your hearing aids in tip-top shape.

Annual Hearing Tests

To begin your journey towards improving your hearing ability, our annual hearing tests can help to determine what degree of hearing loss you may have and how it can best be treated. Our hearing center and its professional hearing services can then move towards finding you the custom-fit hearing aids you need.

Hearing Aid Features

Traditionally, hearing aids ran on one-use, disposable ‘button’ batteries. These batteries would run for certain battery life and then need to be replaced. More recently, some hearing aids have been developed to run on a rechargeable battery. These hearing aid batteries do not need to be frequently replaced but simply set on a charging station overnight to prepare for use the next day. While a rechargeable battery does come with its share of perks, it also comes with some downsides.

Many rechargeable battery packs cannot be replaced by the user but must be taken to a professional when they have hit their life expectancy. While they don’t require frequent changing, even these batteries must be replaced every few years. 

Background noise reduction technology is becoming pretty standard in most hearing aids. The cost of a device will likely determine the quality of this feature. This feature is aimed at helping distinguish conversation from background noise. Extraneous noise, like wind, the clanging of dishes, or unwanted digital noise, is softened when sent down the ear canal, making these undesired sounds less potent to the listener.

One of the most advanced features of high-end hearing aids is Bluetooth connectivity. This extra feature allows your hearing aid to connect with your phone to make calls easily or with your television to watch showing more comfortably. This helps vastly with quality of life and the feeling of being involved in your environment.

Helping to select the correct style of hearing aid for an individual patient is a big decision. The most common reason, aside form poor sound quality, that a hearing aid gets put into a drawer and not worn is because the user feels that others can see the aids on. Totally customized “invisible” hearing aids are a wonderful solution for many individuals who suffer from hearing loss, but also want to feel the confidence of better hearing without the concern of being noticed by friends, family or colleagues.
