There was a time when people with hearing disorders suffered in silence. Fortunately, there are new ways to help people with common hearing disorders. No matter what age you are, hearing is important. Good hearing is necessary for infants and young children to learn how to speak. Further, people need assistance when they get older because our hearing gets weaker. An audiologist can help, no matter what age you are.
* Audiologists work to improve hearing in many ways, including:
* hearing aid evaluation
* tympanometry (middle ear) assessment
* cerumen (ear wax) removal
* central auditory processing
* tinnitus management (ringing in the ears)
* auditory brain stem evoked response assessment (BSAER)
A hearing aid works wonders for many people. The Hearing Speciality Group uses advanced equipment to measure the exact response of the hearing aid at the level of the ear. The measurement is used to adjust the hearing aid based upon the “Wilson Method”, created by Audiologist, Gregory Wilson. The success rate of the Audiologist in Owings Mills is greater than the national average. The group wants all patients to experience great improvement in communication and confidence.
