Who is qualified to treat hearing loss?

Hearing Instrument Specialists are professionals specializing in fitting and dispensing hearing aids. Hearing Instrument Specialists undergo extensive educational and clinical training and are often state-licensed and board-certified to test for hearing loss and fit hearing aids.
Otolaryngologists have a medical degree and can diagnose and treat ear, nose, throat, head, and neck disorders. Otolaryngologists are often called ENTs.
How will hearing aids improve my hearing?
Most types of permanent hearing loss are because the nerve cells have become permanently damaged either by loud noise, lack of circulation, or other health issues. While this kind of hearing loss can’t be cured, it can be treated using hearing aids. Hearing aids not only allow you to hear again, they have been proven to help stave off health issues such as dementia and depression.
Are hearing aids worth It?
Well, that depends. If you live alone in a bunker and don’t need to worry about hearing other people speak or if danger is around you, then you probably don’t need hearing aids. For everyone else on planet Earth, the answer is yes!
Hearing aids carry a lot of value beyond just being able to hear better again. Your overall quality of life can improve through the use of hearing aids. Hearing aids allow you to connect with loved ones and enjoy social activities much more since you won’t be struggling to hear conversations. Studies have also shown that untreated hearing loss is associated with mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety. Getting hearing aids can help you stay social, which can improve your mood. More importantly, though, hearing aids appear to help prevent cognitive decline and even restore some cognitive function.
But if you want to stay mentally sharp, enjoy life, enjoy conversations, enjoy watching TV or movies, then hearing aids are an outstanding value.
