Hearing Loss
How to recognize the signs of hearing loss and what to do about it.
Why Knowing the Signs and Symptoms of Hearing Loss is Important.
Hearing Loss
Hearing loss can develop slowly over time, and it can be hard to notice. Knowing the signs ahead of time will help prevent quick hearing deterioration. You may not notice your hearing loss at first. In many cases, your family or friends may notice it before you do.
We have made it quick and easy to educate yourself and your family about the signs and symptoms of hearing loss.
Sensorineural Hearing
Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common type, and results from damaged hair cells in the inner ear. It affects about 95% of patients. It is also the most treatable.
We are here to give you the best education on your specific case of hearing loss. With education you can seek treatment and benefit from better hearing. We offer an online hearing test, or a free hearing health check, and full comprehensive audiological testing at our local office. We are committed to providing the latest testing, fitting, and hearing technology to you.
