We are here to help.<\/p>\n\n\n Most hearing loss occurs gradually in adults, so the symptoms are often difficult to recognize. It might be time to consult an Audiologist if you or a loved one are experiencing one or more of the following problems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you suspect that you or a loved one may have hearing loss, it is best to make an appointment for a hearing evaluation with an audiologist. The audiologist will determine if hearing loss is present and work with you to develop a strategy to treat or manage the loss.<\/p>\n\n\n A hearing evaluation has several parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, the audiologist will establish your case history. This will involve a series of questions (often both written and verbal) that aim to provide in-depth information to the doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Second, the audiologist will inspect your outer ear, ear canal and ear drum for abnormalities or possible medical conditions. If a medical condition is suspected, you will be referred to an Ear Nose and Throat doctor (ENT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Third, the audiologist will escort you into a sound proof room called a sound booth. Here, you will listen to a series of sounds including beeps and words. You will be asked to indicate what you heard by pressing a button or repeating words back. At this time, the audiologist may conduct other optional tests to acquire further information. If additional testing is required, it will be explained thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fourth, the audiologist explains your test results. At this time, you and the doctor will discuss what kind of management strategy, if any, will best fit your hearing needs and lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Call Swank Family Hearing at (775) 322-3269<\/span><\/a> for more information or to schedule an appointment.<\/p>What are some symptoms of hearing loss in adults?<\/h3>\n\n\n
