FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if I or my child has a hearing problem?
Signs of hearing issues can vary. Common indicators include difficulty following conversations, frequently asking for repetition, and struggling to understand speech in noisy environments. For children, additional signs may include not responding to their name or delayed speech development. If you notice these symptoms, it’s advisable to consult an audiologist for a professional assessment.
What is vestibular assessment, and why is it important?
A vestibular assessment evaluates balance and spatial orientation, which are crucial for everyday activities. It helps diagnose conditions affecting the vestibular system, such as vertigo or balance disorders. Accurate diagnosis through these assessments allows for targeted treatments that can significantly improve quality of life and reduce the risk of falls, especially in older adults.
Do I need a referral to see an audiologist at Neuro Audiology?
A referral is not strictly necessary to see an audiologist at Neuro Audiology. Patients can contact us directly to schedule an appointment. However, if you have a referral from a doctor or specialist, it can provide additional context and may facilitate a more comprehensive evaluation.
What can I expect during a hearing assessment?
During a hearing assessment, you will undergo a series of tests designed to evaluate your hearing ability. This may include pure-tone audiometry, speech testing, and tympanometry. The audiologist will discuss your medical history and symptoms, ensuring a thorough understanding of your hearing health. The entire process typically takes about an hour.
How often should I have my hearing checked?
It is recommended to have your hearing checked every one to two years, particularly for individuals over 50 or those with risk factors for hearing loss. If you notice any changes in your hearing or experience symptoms such as tinnitus or difficulty understanding speech, you should seek an evaluation sooner.
What types of hearing aids do you offer?
Neuro Audiology provides a variety of hearing aids, including behind-the-ear (BTE), in-the-ear (ITE), and receiver-in-canal (RIC) models. Our audiologists will assess your specific hearing loss and lifestyle needs to recommend the best type of hearing aid, ensuring optimal comfort and performance.
