Hearing loss can drastically reduce the ability to understand speech. Often people are surprised to discover the impact hearing loss has on speech perception. If you feel that you or a family member may even have a mild hearing loss, make an appointment with Crigger & Associates ENT and the Crigger Hearing Aid Center.
Once you meet with Dr. Crigger and he completes a thorough examination of your ears, an audiologist will perform a complete hearing test to determine the nature of your hearing loss. Some hearing losses may be medically treatable; however, hearing losses that are nerve or sensor neural are permanent. This type of loss can be treated with hearing aids.
