Hearing Aids Near Montgomery, AL

The first thing done when you arrive at our Birmingham hearing aid clinic (just an hour and a half away from Montgomery) will be to give you an evaluation to establish a baseline of your current auditory skills. During the evaluation, you'll be asked about your quality of life and any work history that could relate to your hearing loss. Ear, nose, and throat screening will be thoroughly performed to ensure that there is no insidious illness leading to your hearing loss as a secondary effect.

Our ENT clinic in Birmingham, an hour and a half away from Montgomery, also offers audiogram services. An audiogram is a test where you are placed inside a soundproof booth while wearing a pair of headphones that play noises at various frequencies and decibels. This will help your audiologist to determine any differences between each ear. The test is painless at all levels, takes less than an hour to complete, and helps narrow down potential problems in the complex ear system. After an audiogram and physical examination, you will be recommended a course of action to restore your hearing.

Hearing aids are prescribed based on the significance of hearing loss. In extreme cases, surgery can be the recommended option, but as most patients have work-related hearing loss or age-related hearing loss, hearing aids typically suffice. An experienced ENT doctor in Alabama will see to it that your hearing restoration program is customized to address your unique auditory restoration needs.
