Hearing Tests
Because hearing loss develops gradually, it can take years to even notice a problem. Early intervention is key to successful treatment, so hearing tests are the best way to detect a hearing loss. A number of different tests are available for determining the type and degree of the loss – information that is crucial for coming up with a treatment solution.
Hearing Aids
About nine in ten patients with hearing loss can be helped by hearing aids. Today’s digital devices are smaller and more powerful than ever, and include many state-of-the-art features designed to improve comfort, convenience and clarity. The House Institute Hearing Health Centers carry a full lineup of devices from the industry’s leading manufacturers, with options for a vast array of lifestyles and budgets.
Tinnitus Treatment
Tinnitus, often described as a ringing in the ears, affects approximately one in five Americans. This perception of sound may affect one or both ears, and can range from a minor nuisance to a constant distraction. Tinnitus is considered a symptom rather than a disease and is usually the result of an underlying condition. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to relieve the noise and improve your quality of life.
