Why is a comprehensive hearing examination so important: As your ears gradually change, so can your hearing and communication needs.  That’s why regular hearing evaluations are so vital to your wellbeing. 

Visiting your family doctor for an annual physical is critical to managing your health.  Doing the same for your ears is just as important for maintaining excellent hearing and quality of life.   If a hearing disorder is detected, the audiologist can discuss treatment options.  Hearing issues can effect your physical and emotional well-being and are often associated with the following:

• Social isolation
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Falls
• Cognitive decline 
• Dementia
