Let Our Team Provide You With an Accurate Evaluation

Hearing loss affects our ability to communicate and our quality of life. It varies across our population and each individual’s hearing loss is unique. Age related hearing loss is a normal part of the aging process, but hearing loss has other causes including: medical conditions, occupational and recreational noise exposure, or rarely benign growths that affect the hearing and balance portion of our nervous system (a rare occurrence). Hearing loss may be greater in one ear than the other.

Regardless of the cause, an accurate evaluation is critical to effective hearing rehabilitation. Call 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.
