More than 48 million Americans have some degree of hearing loss. There are three major types of hearing loss, but every individual’s experience is affected by different factors, such as genetics, age and exposure to noise. The three types of hearing loss are conductive, sensorineural and mixed.

The process of hearing requires interaction between the ears and the brain. Hearing tests determine whether or not the two are working together, and if not, what exactly needs to be fixed. Sound waves travel through the ear canal and into the eardrum.

Hearing aids are devices designed to help those with hearing loss hear, process and understand sound. There are many types of hearing aids such as behind-the-ear aids, in-the-ear aids, invisible in-canal hearing aids, extended-wear hearing aids, open-fit devices and bone-anchored hearing aids.

A bone-anchored implant is a special type of implanted hearing aid that works by transmitting soundwaves directly through the skull rather than through the ear. The bone-anchored hearing implant consists of three parts: a titanium fixture, an abutment and an external sound processor.

We understand that it can be frustrating when you struggle to hear and communicate, even with hearing aids. You want to be able to enjoy life without planning around your hearing loss. Cochlear implants may be the solution you are looking for to hear more clearly, regain your independence, and connect with people you love.

Pediatric audiology is the study and treatment of hearing loss in infants, toddlers, and children. Our experts evaluate children of all developmental stages. Our goal is to detect hearing loss in children as early as possible.
