The Truth About Testing for Hearing Loss

Not all hearing testing is the same. Hearing aid retailers most often are staffed by dispensers that legally are prohibited from billing commercial and government insurance providers for comprehensive hearing evaluations. As such, many retailers provide a simple yet limited hearing screening – free of charge. At Fairbanks Hearing & Balance Center we only conduct a thorough and comprehensive evaluation of your hearing system to ensure accurate diagnosis. You can be rest assured, you get the test results and treatment you deserve, based on a complete hearing evaluation in collaboration with your Doctor of Audiology and your attending physician. Why choose a Doctor of Audiology vs. a Hearing Aid Dispenser? A Doctor of Audiology and a Hearing Aid Dispenser both are licensed to test for hearing loss and to select and fit hearing aids. Doctors of Audiology, however, are schooled and earn doctoral degrees in the sciences of understanding the human ear intimately. In general, your Audiologist will perform more thorough testing to accurately identify other associative pathologies to hearing loss. Physicians collaborate primarily with Doctors of Audiology for comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of hearing loss, tinnitus, and balance disorders. What is an Audiologist? au-di-ol-o-gist (noun): The health-care professional who specializes in evaluating, diagnosing, treating, and managing hearing loss and balance disorders in adults and children. Today audiologists are required to complete a 4-year doctoral program, including various clinical placements and research involvement.

Hearing loss can make chatting with friends or family more tiring, and it’s easy to start skipping social activities. Paying attention to your hearing helps you stay involved and enjoy those moments without extra effort.

A new study finds that providing hearing aids and personalized audiology support helps older adults maintain better social connections.

"If I had hearing loss, I’d know it… right?”
Not always. Hearing loss often happens gradually—so subtly that many people don’t realize it until communication becomes frustrating or they’re constantly turning up the volume.

The earlier hearing loss is detected, the more options you have for treatment and support. A quick evaluation can make all the difference.

Do I have hearing loss, and does it matter?

Many people live with hearing loss for years before seeing an audiologist. Hearing loss is usually a gradual process, but you may have other symptoms to include persistent ear fullness or ringing (tinnitus). The gradual process is why most patients do not realize how this disease negatively affects their quality of life. Hearing loss affects people of all ages, and with numerous causes other than a history of loud noise exposure or advanced age. People with hearing loss often have trouble understanding conversations in noisy environments (such as restaurants, bars, music venues), and subconsciously rely on lip reading to understand personal conversations. Many people also become frustrated and avoid noisy environments all together because they cannot participate in conversations. At Fairbanks Hearing & Balance, we can help you determine the type and severity of hearing loss you have, and develop a personalized treatment plan to improve your quality of life.

Are all hearing tests the same?
