Can You Hear Me Now?

by | Nov 13, 2015 | Uncategorized

Our brains are wired to process pictures and sound every minute of every day. When a key input is lost or severely diminished, it can have a profoundly negative effect on the ability to interact with the world around us. As time goes by, hearing function predictably deteriorates for many patients. In many cases, the inner ear is simply wearing out from a lifetime of exposure to noise. It is important to identify these changes as they occur and to track them year-to-year. When problems do occur, we have the clinical staff, equipment and technology to help. Hearing Care is Part of Every Complete Exam For our patients age 55+, a simple hearing screening (30-60 seconds) is part of the normal routine before you see your Healthcare Provider. For patients who need a more in-depth test, comprehensive exams are provided as an extension of your complete annual physical. These services are included as part of the complete annual care we provide to our patients at no cost to you. Though the program focuses on patients age 55+ (where hearing issues occur most frequently), it is open to every adult patient at Vibrant Health. If you are dealing with hearing problems yourself or suspect a problem with a family member, please tell anyone on our Care team. We will be happy to schedule a comprehensive exam. State-of- the-Art Equipment and Technology We are proud to offer state-of-the-art testing equipment and full product lines from 4 of the finest hearing technology companies in the world. If you have a hearing problem, it is our objective to meet any performance and price...
