In addition to improving your hearing health, identifying and treating hearing loss as soon as possible will also have a positive effect on your physical and emotional well-being.
In addition to increasing one’s cognitive load, hearing loss has been linked to an increased risk of dementia, as you struggle to make sense of sound signals. According to studies, hearing loss can be treated to reduce dementia risk.
When people with hearing loss are treated, they earn more than those with untreated hearing loss. Hearing loss treatments also reduce the risk of accidents and falls. As a result of social isolation, people with untreated hearing loss are more likely to experience depression, stress, and anxiety. By treating hearing loss, we can maintain relationships with family, friends, and colleagues.
Hearing evaluations are the primary element to ensure good hearing health. A licensed specialist can administer a series of tests, none of which are painful or invasive, generally completing these within an hour. These tests typically cover: pure tone – sounds at different volumes; speech test – word recognition and patterns; auditory brainstem response – testing the brain’s aptitude when faced with sound stimulus.
When you get a hearing evaluation, you will be asked about your family and personal medical history, any current medical issues and medications, and details about your daily activities and lifestyle that may affect your hearing (occupation, recreation, etc.). Besides checking for earwax blockage or injury, your hearing professional will also perform a physical examination of your ears and ear canals.
While hearing aids are sturdy, sophisticated electronic devices — small in size but powerful in performance — they will need maintenance and repair from time to time. At Clarity Hearing Aid Center, we will provide you with simple troubleshooting techniques you can use to fix your hearing aids at home, but for more complicated fixes, come in for help.
The most common reasons for hearing aid repair include earwax buildup, being dropped or stepped on, exposure to high humidity or extreme temperatures, and dust buildup on internal parts over time.
Most repairs can be completed the same day. We will give you an estimate based on the issues at hand. We understand the importance of hearing aids in your daily life.
Some of the biggest names in music have suffered hearing loss in recent years, including Pete Townshend of the Who and Brian Jones of AC/DC. It’s no secret that hearing is the most important sense in your line of work, but without hearing protection, you may be at risk.
