Hearing Loss
Hearing loss affects millions of people and can develop gradually or suddenly, impacting your ability to communicate and connect with others. Understanding the different types and causes of hearing loss helps you recognize when to seek professional evaluation and treatment.
Causes of Hearing Loss
Hearing loss can result from various factors that affect different parts of your hearing system. Some causes develop over time while others occur suddenly, and many are preventable with proper care and protection.
Types of Hearing Loss
There are three main types of hearing loss, each affecting different parts of your hearing system. Identifying the type helps determine the most appropriate treatment approach for your specific situation.
Treating Hearing Loss
The most effective treatment for hearing loss depends on the type, degree, and underlying cause of your specific condition. We provide comprehensive hearing evaluations to determine the best approach for your individual needs.
For sensorineural hearing loss, properly fitted hearing aids can significantly improve your ability to hear and understand speech. Our fitting process includes Real Ear Measurements to verify that your hearing aids are programmed correctly for your specific hearing loss pattern.
Conductive hearing loss may be treatable through medical intervention, earwax removal, or hearing aids depending on the underlying cause.
