Hearing Loss
Hearing is a valuable asset for people of all ages because it connects us to the world we live in. Hearing involves much more than just our ears, it involves our brain too.
Hearing difficulties should not be left untreated. The early treatment of hearing loss is more likely to be effective. Delaying treatment may expose patients to further difficulties.
There are multiple causes for poor hearing, including aging, family history, injury, infection, noise exposure, defects at birth and even some medications and illnesses.
Thankfully for most people, a hearing impairment can be greatly improved using hearing aids. Furthermore, hearing aids have a tremendous influence on an individual’s quality of life.
