Hearing Treatment Options
Wondering what type of amplification is best for your hearing loss? We have the right solution for you, no matter what degree of hearing loss you have (mild, moderate, moderately severe, or severe). Our team offers the latest in hearing technology and diagnostic testing to help you live a better quality of life.
Personal Sound Amplification Products (PSAPs)
PSAPs provide limited audible improvement in quiet environments. They can increase speech understanding in quiet and non-challenging listening situations and provide limited improvement in noise.
There are hundreds of PSAPs currently on the market, ranging in quality and price. For those considering this amplification option, our audiologists recommend the following devices:
- Bose® Hearphones™
- IQBuds™
- The BEAN®
Hearing Aids
Hearing aids are incredibly advanced; they can improve ability and comfort in noise and complex listening situations. They can improve speech understanding in noise, are completely customizable, and can connect with smartphones and other Bluetooth enabled devices.
Hearing Aid Manufacturers
Georgia Hearing Center at ENT of Athens works with all the major hearing aid manufacturers. These include Oticon, Phonak, ReSound, Signia, Starkey, and Widex. We work with these manufacturers because they can provide you with a custom, first-rate solution for your hearing loss.
Implantable Devices
Implantable devices work differently than a hearing aid. They are designed for those with profound hearing loss who cannot be helped with a traditional aid. The two most popular devices are:
- Bone Anchored Hearing Aids
- Cochlear Implants
Implantable devices work by directly stimulating the inner ear and optimize speech understanding in quiet and noise.
What Device Will Be Right for Me?
Determining the right device for you starts with a hearing test. Once your type and degree of hearing loss has been confirmed, you and your audiologist can work together to figure out the best treatment plan.
