Let Our Team Provide You With an Accurate Evaluation

Hearing loss impacts both communication and quality of life, and it varies from person to person. While age-related hearing loss is a common aspect of aging, other factors can contribute, such as medical conditions, exposure to noise from work or recreation, or, in rare cases, benign growths that affect the hearing and balance parts of the nervous system. Additionally, hearing loss may be more pronounced in one ear compared to the other.

Regardless of its cause, obtaining a precise evaluation is essential for successful hearing rehabilitation. Contact Arizona Coast Ear Nose & Throat to schedule an appointment today.

Saving You Time and Money

All hearing aids today are “state of the art” and refined to accommodate individual needs. Digital technology has greatly improved the processing capabilities of current hearing aids and allows a much greater ability to “fine tune” an assistive hearing device. There are several types of hearing aids from which to choose and this can create confusion. Hearing loss varies between individuals and it is critical that you choose a hearing aid best suited to your needs…and not those of someone else’s type of hearing loss. Since every individual had different needs based upon their personal hearing loss, a professional Audiologist can determine if a hearing aid is needed and if so how much hearing can be improved. Anyone can go “online” today and purchase hearing aids…but it has been proven over and over again, that working with a professional can save both time and money and ensure that you get a hearing aid that will meet your individual needs, is properly fitted, and that can also be correctly maintained.
