The statistics are alarming.

According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, 36 million Americans have a hearing loss. That includes 17 percent of our adult population. The incidence of hearing loss increases with age. About a third of Americans between ages 65 and 74 and nearly half of those over age 75 have hearing loss.

Hearing loss is the third most prevalent chronic health condition facing older adults, but only 20 percednt of those who might benefit from treatment actually seek help. Most tend to delay treatment until they cannot communicate even in the best of listening situations. On average, hearing aid users wait over 10 years after their initial diagnosis to be fit with their first set of hearing aids.

Audiology Associates in Santa Clarita has state-of-the-art technology that can help you hear better and catch all of those conversations you’ve been missing. And you’ll also reconnect with your family and friends and feel a lot less isolated.

The hearing aid that will work best for you depends on the kind and severity of your hearing loss. If you have a hearing loss in both of your ears, two hearing aids are generally recommended because two aids provide a more natural signal to the brain. Hearing in both ears also will help you understand speech and locate where the sound is coming from.

Our staff of trained professionals will help determine which model and size works best for you. And the best part? You’ll get the enjoyment of hearing the birds, children’s laughter and other sounds you have been missing. Call us at 661-284-1900  to set up an appointment for an evaluation.
