Hearing (Audiology)
Symptoms and Treatments for Hearing Loss
Hearing loss can occur so gradually that many people do not realize they have a hearing problem until someone points it out to them. We offer comprehensive screening for hearing disorders so that we can identify the cause of your condition and start treatment as quickly as possible.
Some common signs of hearing loss may include:
- Delayed responses to simple questions
- Difficulty distinguishing between words that sound alike
- Sitting closely to the TV or turning the volume up louder than usual
- Consistently asking others to repeat what they just said
- Ringing or buzzing sounds in the ears
Treatment for hearing disorders may include surgery, medication, or rehabilitation. Cochlear implants and other assisted listening devices are popular and powerful tools in the fight against hearing loss.
