Treat your hearing loss
You can ease the impact of hearing loss and improve your ability to communicate by getting your hearing checked and exploring treatment options with an audiologist. You may have a hearing problem if you have trouble following the conversation when two or more people are talking at the same time or frequently ask others to repeat what they say. The older we get, the more likely we may have disabling hearing loss, but hearing loss can occur at any age.
How do audiologists help correct and assess hearing loss?
To assess hearing issues, an audiologist will conduct a comprehensive hearing test and evaluation, then provide you with treatment recommendations and follow-up.
Hearing loss can be corrected with amplification devices like hearing aids, ear plugs, and rehabilitation therapies. ARC audiologists will work with you to make adjustments to fit hearing aids or other amplification devices to help you communicate with the world around you.
Remember, even if you buy your hearing aids over the counter, your audiologist can help you by assessing your degree of hearing loss. They'll also explain your options to protect and improve your hearing when hearing loss is present and properly program your hearing aids.
