Hearing Protection
Assisted Listening Devices
Assisted listening devices (ALDs) are beneficial tools that enhance communication and improve hearing in various listening situations. They work alongside hearing aids or independently to overcome challenges like background noise or distance. ALDs include devices like personal amplifiers, FM systems, loop systems, and Bluetooth accessories. These devices transmit sound directly to the listener, reducing the impact of distance and environmental noise. ALDs can significantly improve speech understanding and providing individuals with better access to conversations, media, and public announcements.
What is audiology?
Audiology is a healthcare profession focused on the identification, management, and remediation of hearing and balance disorders.
When should I see an audiologist?
You should see an audiologist if you’re experiencing any hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), dizziness, or balance issues.
Can hearing loss be cured?
In most cases, hearing loss cannot be cured, but it can often be effectively managed and treated through various interventions such as hearing aids, cochlear implants, or assistive listening devices.
How often should I have my hearing checked?
It is recommended to have a baseline hearing evaluation in adulthood and then follow up as needed. If you’re experiencing any changes in your hearing, it’s advisable to see an audiologist promptly.
