More than 36 million Americans of all ages suffer from hearing loss. Regular hearing screenings are invaluable in identifying problems early. We encourage you to schedule an appointment for a hearing screening during the month of October, recognized as Audiology Awareness Month.
Hearing loss can be caused by a variety of factors including noise exposure, trauma, diseases of the inner and middle ear, ear infections, excess earwax and certain medications. Symptoms include difficulty understanding others when they speak, asking speakers to frequently repeat themselves, the inability to distinguish speech from background sounds, turning up the volume to distracting levels and ringing in the ears.
At Willamette ENT Hearing Center we take a team approach toward evaluating and treating hearing loss. We want to reconnect you with your world and improve your quality of life! If you are committed to improving your hearing health, contact us today for a comprehensive hearing evaluation.
