Informed Decision-Making Starts With A Hearing Evaluation
Determining whether or not hearing aids can help you hear a fuller world starts with a hearing evaluation. Knowing the results of those tests gives you the power to make the decision that’s right for you.
Why Have Your Hearing Evaluated?
Untreated hearing loss can damage your physical health, emotional well-being and professional success. Studies have shown untreated hearing loss:
- Increases your risk of cognitive decline.
- Increases feelings of depression, anger and anxiety.
- Makes concentrating and storing new information difficult.
- Increases physical injuries, specifically falls.
- Reduces job performance and monetary compensation.
A Hearing Evaluation Is Quick, Painless and Provides Immediate Results.
Testing methods are fast and same-day test results typically allow an audiologist to provide an immediate diagnosis.
What Does an Audiologist Measure?
- How your ears respond to loud sounds.
- The quietest sound you can hear at different pitches.
- How well you can hear speech.
- The movement capacity of your eardrum.
- What type of hearing loss you have.
