According to the American Academy of Audiology (AAA), over 36 million Americans suffer from some degree of hearing loss and over half of them are younger than age 65.
Unfortunately, the average amount of time a person with hearing loss waits to seek treatment, after noticing a problem, is between 7 to 10 years. In that time, hearing can not only worsen significantly but can cause a variety of health and psychological problems such as cognitive impairment and depression.
October is National Audiology Awareness Month, so with autumn in full swing and the holidays in sight, now is the time to prioritize your hearing health.
An Audiologist is the primary health-care professional who is trained to evaluate, diagnose, treat, and manage hearing loss and related disorders in adults and children.
They possess comprehensive knowledge of the auditory and vestibular systems and have extensive training in amplification, which is critical to the accurate fitting and adjustment of hearing aids.
Our doctors of audiology at Bluegrass Hearing Clinic, hold the highest professional degree available. They understand that every patient is unique and in need of personal, professional, & expert care.
Audiology Awareness Month serves as a reminder to bring awareness to hearing healthcare. Now is a great time to do something about your hearing loss or encourage a loved one to do so.
