Let your primary care provider know that you would like to have your hearing tested. They can send a referral to our professional audiologist. Then, our office will reach out to help you set up an appointment.

Many patients struggle to recognize the symptoms of hearing loss. Some common signs include:

• Frequently thinking people are mumbling
• Hearing speech but having trouble understanding it
• Asking people to repeat themselves regularly
• Finding telephone conversations increasingly difficult
• Playing the radio or TV too loudly for other family members
• Not hearing normal household sounds you once noticed, e.g., a dripping faucet or the doorbell
• Having trouble hearing when you’re not facing the speaker
• Being told you speak too loudly
• Experiencing a ringing in your ears (tinnitus)
• Struggling to understand conversation in large groups or crowds

Getting your hearing tested by our audiologist is a great starting point. There are many audiological assessments that we can use to determine your level of hearing effectiveness.

Protecting your ears is the key to hearing loss prevention.

• If your job exposes you to hazardous noises, make sure proper safety equipment is provided. Hearing protection – earplugs and earmuffs – is essential when working around loud equipment. It’s also a good idea to bring along earplugs if you’re participating in a noisy recreational activity, e.g., a football game or rock concert.
• At home, limit your exposure to noisy activities, and keep the volume down on the television, stereo and personal music players.
• Refrain from inserting cotton swabs or other objects into your ears or blowing your nose forcefully.
• Refrain from smoking. Studies show those who use tobacco are more likely to suffer from hearing loss.
• Regardless of age, have your hearing tested regularly. Early detection is key. While noise-related hearing loss can’t be reversed, you can take steps to avoid further damage to your hearing.
