Once all your testing is complete, the audiologist will work with you to determine the most suitable course of treatment for your hearing loss and your particular needs and wants.
There are several options available for treating hearing loss: Hearing Aids Hearing Assistive Technology Aural Rehabilitation Cochlear Implants
Hearing Aids Hearing aids are small electronic devices designed
to fit your ear. Generally, they make
sounds louder, but newer advanced hearing aids can process sounds to help you
hear and communicate better, even in background noise. Hearing aids hold such
great potential to positively change so many lives, yet only one in five people
who could benefit from hearing aids currently wears them.
Assistive
Listening Devices Often, it is
beneficial to use additional items called assistive listening devices to
improve hearing in specific situations ― such as for telephones, smoke
alarms, doorbells, television listening,
lecturers, and other specialized settings. An assistive listening device can be
used with or without hearing aids, and can help extend the
benefits of all hearing treatments.
Aural
Rehabilitation Aural Rehab is designed to
help you develop the necessary skills, such as Speechreading, to maximize your
residual hearing whether or not you choose to wear hearing aids.
