Steps To Improved Hearing Health
1. Setup an Appointment
We can help you schedule an appointment with the right specialist for your needs. Hearing loss is common, and an in-person visit is the first step towards treatment. Family members or friends are always welcome.
2. See an Audiologist for an Evaluation
An audiologist will complete a full hearing evaluation to determine the underlying cause of your hearing loss and how it’s affecting you. They will answer all of your questions and work with you to find the right treatment solution for your needs.
3. Explore Your Treatment Options
Depending on your needs, treatment may include hearing aids, assistive listening devices, auditory training or other solutions. Our audiology team will guide you through the process and provide ongoing support every step of the way.
4. Follow- Up Consultation
A follow-up visit is typically scheduled 1–2 weeks after your initial plan is implemented. Your audiologist will make further adjustments as needed, answer any additional questions and provide ongoing support.
