Why Should You See an Audiologist to Treat Your Hearing Loss?
When someone first notices that they might have a hearing loss, their natural reaction is often to go online and start googling the price of hearing devices. Grocery stores usually feature high on the list as they offer cut-price deals that seem like a great way to treat your symptoms quickly. But as doctors of audiology, we know that this option is a mistake.
Many who chose it later come through our doors, as they find that what they’ve purchased does nothing for their particular condition. This is why there’s no comparison between the cheap technology you can pick up online and the expert service you’ll find at South Bay Hearing.
Experts in diagnosis
Everybody’s hearing loss is different and reflects the journey that they’ve been on throughout their lifetime. Some may have acquired a noise exposure hearing loss after being exposed to very loud sounds, while others might find that the tiny bones inside their ears are the cause of their issue. This means a one-size-fits-all approach to hearing care and treatment is unlikely to help those who are struggling. Instead, you need an expert who can understand the complexities of each person’s unique condition.
All our specialists have doctorate level qualifications from top-level universities, which require years of professional and theoretical training to achieve. This lets them undertake thorough and comprehensive diagnostic evaluations so they can clearly pinpoint the root cause of your hearing problem. And as a result, every patient who comes to South Bay Hearing receives finely tuned treatments which are prescribed to them using evidence-based analysis.
A long-term bond
As audiologists, we know that hearing loss isn’t often something that can be cured with a single form of treatment. That’s because most hearing losses are permanent and need constant monitoring by a hearing health care professional to stop them from declining. By purchasing an off-the-shelf hearing instrument at a grocery store you’re unlikely to get any long-term, expert service. However, this is a key part of what makes South Bay Hearing’s treatments such a worthwhile investment.
At every step of your journey to better hearing, your doctor of audiology will be shaping your care strategy to give you maximum benefit. The bond that patients develop with their specialists makes this a completely personalized experience. South Bay Hearing is also ready to assist patients whenever they need technical support. Although hearing aids are incredibly sophisticated devices with Bluetooth and streaming capabilities, they will still need servicing from time to time. We’re on hand to provide this support daily in our practice, throughout the whole time you’re in our care.
