Hearing Loss Services
Hearing loss (or hearing impairment) is defined as hearing problems in one or both ears. It includes the inability to hear the range of sounds that is normal for most people. People with hearing loss or hearing impairment might hear some sounds, but they also might hear no sounds.
Our audiologists can teach patients with hearing loss about leading-edge hearing aid technology and communication strategies to manage in difficult listening situations.
If you think you might be experiencing hearing loss, take our Five-minute Hearing Test. Your results can help determine whether you should be evaluated and treated for hearing loss.
