Help for the hearing-impaired. Early evaluation, advanced technology, improved management.
Nearly one in ten Americans has some degree of hearing loss. The primary care physician generally is the first to evaluate patients who complain of hearing loss and thus has the first opportunity to determine the need for treatment or referral to an otolaryngologist or otologist. New technology provides better management of hearing loss than ever before. Virtually every case of hearing loss can now be corrected or improved.
