The Causes of Hearing Loss
Hearing loss may stem from a variety of medical conditions, including:
- Presbycusis or hearing loss due to aging
- Trauma from temporal or skull fractures or other head injuries
- Ototoxicity caused by various drugs prescribed to treat diseases
- Cerebrovascular disorders that cause dizziness, sensory deficits and/or tinnitus
- Facial nerve disorders such as Bell's Palsy
- Illnesses such as Diabetes Mellitus, Multiple Sclerosis and Meniere's Disease
- Noise exposure from an intense acoustical blast or prolonged encounters
with high levels of noise
- Otitis Media, one of the most common childhood infections
- Chronic ear disease
During your visit, we'll conduct a Basic Audiological Assessment. This
will include a thorough 45-minute examination inside our sound booths
for maximum effectiveness and accurate diagnosis. We'll use technologically
advanced equipment available, such as the Auditory Brain Stem and Oto
Acoustic Emissions machines.
Once the evaluation is complete and we've determined the degree and
type of your or your loved one's hearing loss, we may refer you to
one of our specialists for further medical evaluation or recommend an
appropriate assistive hearing device. We work with the latest state-of-the-art
hearing aids from a number of manufacturers, and will take great care
to ensure that you are satisfied with your hearing aid through regular
follow-up visits, and personalized fitting. If you're not completely
satisfied, you can return your hearing aid within 30 days.
Our audiologist will continue to work with you or your loved one to ensure
that the hearing aid is comfortable and set to optimum hearing levels.
Today's technology allows for great flexibility in adjusting and programming
the hearing aid to meet your or your loved one's specific needs.
