Keep informed about your patient's hearing!
Sound Audiology and Hearing Aid Center welcomes referrals and provides you a comprehensive report for your records.
It is well documented that the middle-aged and senior population is at greater risk for depression, and hearing loss can be a silent contributor. People with a hearing loss gradually begin to withdraw from the things they had once enjoyed: parties, church, or visiting with family and friends. This withdrawal is due to frustration or embarrassment and can be very isolating; which contributes to the depression so often seen in patients with a hearing loss.
If your office sees twenty-one adults age sixty-five or older, seven will have a hearing loss. The majority of these adults will have sensorineural hearing losses and can all be helped with hearing instruments. In the past several years, the new technology of computerized digitally programmable hearing devices has made for an incredible satisfaction rate. Sound Audiology and Hearing Aid Center has the most advanced hearing instruments and equipment for auditory assessment available. We know that it is not just hearing but speech understanding that is most important to you and your patients.
