Treatment plans
More than one way to treat hearing loss
Treating hearing loss is not “one-stop shopping.” Your plan is built around your evaluation results, your everyday listening needs and your follow-up care.
Built on your results
Your plan is based on the results of your hearing tests and evaluation.
Shaped by your life
Your lifestyle and toughest listening situations help tailor the recommendation.
Care that continues
Follow-up care is part of how we work; we believe in creating connections with patients.
Why plans differ
Different types, different treatments
There is more than one type of hearing loss, so naturally there is more than one way to treat it.
Your evaluation helps us discuss suitable treatment options and any next steps.
Conductive
The outer or middle ear can’t conduct sound to the inner ear.
Sensorineural
The inner ear or auditory nerve no longer detects sound waves normally.
Mixed
A combination of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.
How a plan comes together
From your results to a plan you choose
01
Evaluate
A complete hearing test and evaluation shows the extent of your hearing loss and helps our team understand your needs.
02
Listen
We ask about your lifestyle and the listening situations that trouble you most, and include your companion if one comes with you.
03
Decide together
Your Doctor of Audiology reviews your results and needs assessment with you, and together you choose a treatment option.
04
Follow through
Care continues with professional hearing aid deep cleanings every four months and a hearing reevaluation once a year. If your hearing levels change, we adjust your hearing aids to match your updated prescription.
