Hearing Aids
Hearing aids can greatly improve the quality of life for most people with hearing loss. Today's hearing aids are much better than those of the past. They are designed to be matched to each individual's specific type of hearing loss. An audiologist has specialized training that allows him or her to determine the appropriate model and type of hearing aid that will provide the greatest benefit for each individual. Hearing aids should be part of a total hearing rehabilitation program consisting of complete testing, individual counseling, education, and follow-up visits.
Not everyone with hearing loss will benefit from a hearing aid. Our clinical audiologist, Darlene Ballew, will advise you if a hearing aid is recommended for you. Through proper testing, fitting, and rehabilitation guidance, she will then help you to select one that will best meet your needs. Darlene will increase the effectiveness of your hearing aid and help you to make a smooth and successful adjustment in using them.
It is a good health practice to visit a licensed physician specializing in diseases of the ear (called a otolaryngologist, otorhinolaryngologists, or otologist) before purchasing a hearing aid. Hearing loss may be the result of a number of problems. If left untreated, these problems could result in serious or life threatening consequences. Once these pathologies are ruled out, Dr. Patrick Kane will give you a written medical clearance statement and refer you back to the audiologist for a hearing aid evaluation.
