Earmolds, Ear Plugs, and Monitors
A leading cause of hearing loss is sudden or prolonged exposure to noise. However, once you notice that you may have hearing loss, it’s often too late to protect your hearing. That’s why hearing protection is extremely important, especially if you are regularly in a high-noise environment due to work, hobbies, or both. SightMD offers several types of hearing protection for industrial workers and home/hobby use.
Why Would a Baby See an Audiologist?
Hearing loss interferes with a child’s brain development affecting communication development. This includes everything from school performance to social relationships and emotional well-being. Our pediatric audiologists provide evaluation and treatment for children with hearing loss and hearing disorders. This allows them to hear and communicate to the best of their ability.
What Does an Audiologist do for Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is when you experience ringing or other noises in one or both of your ears. The noise you hear when you have tinnitus isn’t caused by an external sound, and other people usually can’t hear it. Tinnitus is usually caused by an underlying condition, such as age-related hearing loss, an ear injury or a problem with the circulatory system. This can range from irritating to impossible to focus, but our expert doctors can help formulate a plan to get you living your best life.
