The Hearing Journey - Five Steps to Better Hearing

---

Step 1: Test Your Hearing 

If you show one or more of these signs, you should get your hearing tested:

• Being told by others that you have hearing loss
• Frequently asking others to repeat themselves
• Turning the TV to a volume others find loud
• Having trouble understanding conversations in noisy places
• Difficulty hearing women and children’s voices
• Feeling like others are mumbling
• Avoiding social situations that were once enjoyable

Schedule a comprehensive audiological examination with us —  to get a precise and accurate measurement of your hearing.

If it turns out you have hearing loss, don’t worry, you’re not alone.  Hearing loss is the third most common chronic physical condition in the  United States, and is more prevalent than diabetes or cancer1. Millions of people have hearing loss, including:

Half of US adult 60 and older2
Two-thirds of adults over 703
Four of five people 85+4

Many people ignore hearing loss because they think they can live with  it or the consequences aren’t that bad. But years of research show  otherwise. Untreated hearing loss has been proven to impact our physical  and mental health and, ultimately, our quality of life.

The growing list of issues linked to hearing loss include:

• Relationship issues
• Fatigue
• Anxiety
• Social isolation
• Depression
• Cognitive decline and dementia
• And more

Don’t wait until hearing loss leads to bigger, irreversible issues.  Treat it as soon as possible. Start treatment by making an appointment  with us. We have the experience and equipment needed to perform a  thorough and proper audiological evaluation, then can prescribe the  solution and treatment protocol that best achieves your unique needs.

"If you want to address hearing loss well, do it sooner rather than later … before brain structural changes take place."
Frank Lin, M.D., Ph.D. Johns Hopkins Medicine

We hear all the time from the people who we help that they “wish they  had done this sooner!” and we’re confident you’ll feel the same way.

The simple step of treating you hearing loss can make you more  connected and informed, safe and engaged, confident and independent. It  enhances your relationships with friends and family, helps ensure you  never miss out on important moments again, and makes listening to music,  watching TV and nature, activities and events more enjoyable and  immersive.

Simply put, it changes people’s lives — and it can change yours, too!
