How can I help my family member who is suffering hearing loss? – If you are helping a family member come to grips with their hearing loss, their reluctance to admit the problem is a natural and common occurrence. It can be helpful to involve a trusted family advisor such as your family physician who can support your loved one as they come to terms with their hearing loss.
What is an audiologist? – An audiologist is a healthcare professional specializing in identifying, diagnosing, treating and monitoring disorders of the auditory and vestibular system portions of the ear. Audiologists are trained to diagnose, manage and/or treat hearing or balance problems. They dispense hearing aids and although the vast majority of hearing problems do not require medical or surgical intervention, audiologists are clinically and academically trained to determine those that do need medical referral. They counsel families through a new diagnosis of hearing loss and help teach coping and compensation skills.
Does insurance pay for hearing aids? – Medicare and most insurance plans cover hearing exams but not hearing devices. Some plans and specialized insurance cover either partial or full cost of hearing devices. Call our office for more information on your coverage. If eligible, CareCredit allows for a no-interest payment plan for up to one year.
