HOW TO GET A HEARING TEST

It’s always a good time to get your hearing tested. Kids receive basic hearing screenings at wellness visits, and these screens are usually sufficient to catch developing hearing issues. Adults should get a hearing test every three to five years, except for those who work in a noisy environment or have other risk factors like chronic ear infections or genetic hearing loss in the family. If you suspect you have hearing loss, there are a number of options for getting your hearing tested before your next wellness exam. Your primary care provider may be a good starting place. They can review your symptoms and perform a basic hearing test before referring you to the right specialist.

A hearing test is an uncomplicated yet effective way to protect your hearing health and your overall well-being. Because hearing loss develops gradually, it often goes noticed until it finally demands attention. Having a hearing test can detect an impairment early on, so you can take action before it adversely impacts your daily life. You’ve got nothing to lose and so much to gain by calling BOBCAYGEON HEARING SERVICE.

P.S. An otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat doctor) and an audiologist (hearing specialist) are both able to test your hearing to determine the type and cause of hearing loss and assist with treatment options.

ARTHRITIS AND HEARING LOSS

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that causes the body to attack its own heathy tissue, including the ear and nerve tissue involved in hearing. Arthritis inflammation itself may damage the ears or hearing nerves, the blood vessels in the ears, or the flow of blood to hearing systems. Rheumatoid nodules are lumps that develop under the skin that have the potential to damage portions of the middle and outer ear and block the transmission of sound. Certain prescription and OTC medications that are used for arthritis to reduce blood flow have been linked to hearing loss. Arthritis patients are also more likely to take certain types of antibiotics that have been linked to hearing loss.

Our primary mission is to help as many people as possible improve their hearing and thus their quality of life. We hope to help through education, advanced technology, and friendly, compassionate service. For a knowledgeable understanding of the body’s hearing mechanisms and a deep commitment to knowing what’s available today to help each individual’s hearing loss, we welcome you to BOBCAYGEON HEARING SERVICE.

P.S. Some drugs like corticosteroids, vasodilators, and certain anti-inflammatory drugs can help reduce or reverse hearing loss caused by arthritis medications.

OPEN FIT HEARING AIDS FOR HIGH-FREQUENCY HEARING LOSS

There are many different types and styles of hearing instruments available today. A behind-the-ear model hooks over the top of the ear and rests behind it. From there it can connect to different earpiece styles. An open-fit hearing aid is a type of behind-the-ear model that lets the ear remain open by sending a narrow tube into the ear canal to channel sound. This type of hearing aid amplifies high-frequency sounds like children’s voices, while allowing lower frequency sounds to enter the ear canal on their own. An open-fit hearing aid can be preferable for many users, since they can be more comfortable and may have more natural sound, especially when it comes to the sound of one’s own voice.

Today, there are more choices available than ever for those wishing to purchase hearing instruments. How do you decide which is the right one for you? At BOBCAYGEON HEARING SERVICE, our hearing evaluations are designed to most discover the precise nature of each individual’s hearing challenges and identify the appropriate solutions to meet their needs, preferences, and lifestyle. Place your trust in the hands of an audiologist with a reputation for skill, experience, knowledge, compassion, and integrity.

P.S. An open-fit hearing aid is a popular solution for age-related hearing loss and noise-induced hearing loss, two of the most common types of hearing loss.
