Ears and Hearing

A loss of hearing or a reduction in hearing can be devastating for seniors. Thankfully, there are many hearing aid devices available that can significantly lessen their hearing problems and are comfortable to wear around the ears. A licensed audiologist is an invaluable professional who can provide treatment and rehabilitation services for hearing disorders. Since a large segment of the elderly population develops Presbycusis, hearing aids help to combat this age-related hearing loss as well as help seniors learn to lipread.

Audiology is the branch of Science that studies hearing, balance and related disorders. Audiologists hold master's or doctoral degrees from accredited universities with special training in the prevention, identification, assessment and non-medical treatment of hearing disorders. Audiologists are required to complete a full-time internship and pass a demanding national competency examination.

By virtue of their graduate education and licensure, audiologists are the most qualified professionals to perform hearing tests, refer patients for medical treatment and provide hearing rehabilitation services.

Modern technology has produced a wide range of choices in hearing aids.
