The effects of hearing loss and Sound Voids™ can be minimized if:
- Your problem is correctly diagnosed;
- You receive the right type of treatment; and
- You and your hearing care team are committed to solving the problem.
Step One: The Interview
Purpose: To help your AudigyCertified™ professional determine the extent of your problem and uncover any specific areas that may require further attention.
Step Two: The Examination
Purpose: To help your AudigyCertified™ professional determine whether the Sound Voids you are experiencing could be caused by an obstruction or damage to the ear canal or ear drum.
Step Three: The Testing
Purpose: To help the hearing care professional determine the nature of your Sound Voids. Your hearing care professional may test your hearing at different frequencies, your understanding of conversations at different volumes, and your ear drum's reaction to varying degrees of air pressure.
Step Four: Treatment Options
Hearing Systems
In a variety of designs, functions, and features to address your specific needs. Basic components of hearing systems include a microphone, an amplifier, a receiver, and (in the case of digital hearing systems) a small computer. The unprecedented effectiveness of modern digital systems comes from a powerful combination of professional expertise, software, and hardware
