I am having trouble hearing and am interested in buying a hearing aid. What is the next step?
Some causes of hearing loss can be corrected through medications or surgery. It is important to see an otolaryngologist for hearing loss especially if other symptoms are present such as ear pain, ear drainage, hearing loss in only one ear, sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss or dizziness. In addition to a medical assessment by the otolaryngologist, a hearing assessment by our specialized Doctors of Audiology will determine your type of hearing loss. Through this team approach, recommendations can be made for medical or surgical treatment or appropriateness for a hearing aid. There are many types of hearing aids available and determining the best fit is an important role of our Doctors of Audiology in providing excellent function and satisfaction.
