How your ENT specialist in Wayne, New Jersey can help when you are losing your hearing
If you think you might be dealing with hearing loss, it can be scary. You don’t have to deal with it all by yourself. Your ear, nose, and throat specialist can help. Dr. Frank L. Kardos in Wayne, New Jersey offers state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment options to help with hearing loss.
How do you know you may be dealing with hearing loss? One way to know for sure is to have a hearing test. There are some signs of hearing loss you can recognize. You should schedule a hearing test if you notice:
- Only hearing muffled sound and speech
- Difficulty picking out individual words from background noise
- Needing people to speak more loudly and slowly
- Wanting to avoid social events and conversations
If you think you may be dealing with hearing loss, you’re not alone. Over 30% of adults over the age of 65 are hearing impaired, according to the American Speech-Language Hearing Association. Seniors aren't the only ones affected. 14% of adults aged 45-64 have some degree of hearing loss too, and nearly 8 million adults between ages 18 and 44 are also experiencing hearing loss.
Every adult 50 years old or younger should schedule a hearing screening every 10 years; adults over the age of 50 should schedule a hearing screening every 3 years.
Dr. Kardos offers a wide range of hearing loss treatment options, including a full range of hearing aids for you to choose from. Consider:
- (Completely in the canal) or CIC hearing aids, which fit entirely inside the ear canal
- (In the ear) or ITE hearing aids, which loop over your outer ear or the lower part of your ear
- (Behind the ear) or BTE hearing aids, which hook over the top portion of your ear
- Cochlear implants, to treat severe hearing loss
Hearing loss can be scary, but it doesn’t have to be. Your ear, nose, and throat specialist can help bring sound back to your life. To find out more about solutions for hearing loss, call Dr. Frank L. Kardos in Wayne, New Jersey at (973) 956-1200. Call now!
