Hearing Tests

Our goal is to solve your hearing problems. Hearing tests are essential for assessing hearing health and detecting potential hearing loss. Regular hearing tests are recommended, especially for individuals who are exposed to loud noises or have a family history of hearing loss. Early detection of hearing loss can lead to more effective treatment and improved quality of life.

Tinnitus

Tinnitus is the perception of sound when no external noise is present, often described as ringing, buzzing, or hissing.

It’s a common symptom with numerous potential underlying causes, including hearing loss, noise exposure, ear infections, and even certain medications. While there’s currently no universal cure for most chronic tinnitus, various management strategies aim to reduce its impact.

More About Tinnitus

These include sound therapy, which uses external sounds to mask or habituate to the tinnitus; hearing aids, especially when hearing loss is present; and behavioral therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help individuals cope with the emotional distress associated with tinnitus. Identifying any treatable underlying conditions is also a crucial step in finding relief.

Custom Hearing Protection

Exposure to loud noise, whether in a one-time event or over an extended period of time, is one of the leading causes of hearing loss. Once our hearing is damaged, there are solutions to treat it but there is no cure. Hearing loss may be prevented with custom hearing protection. Neighborhood Hearing in Kansas offers solutions for many walks of life, tailored to fit your specific needs regardless of the activity.

More About Custom Hearing Protection

For swimmers, custom-molded earplugs create a watertight seal, preventing ear infections and swimmer’s ear without hindering the ability to hear instructions.² They provide a comfortable and secure fit, crucial for prolonged water exposure.³

Musicians benefit from high-fidelity custom earplugs that reduce overall sound levels evenly across frequencies.⁴ This prevents hearing damage from loud music while preserving the clarity and balance needed for performance and enjoyment.⁵ Unlike generic plugs, they ensure accurate sound perception.

Shooters require robust protection against impulse noise. Custom earmolds for shooting offer a precise fit, crucial for consistent noise reduction from gunshots.⁶ Some are designed with electronic filters that allow normal conversation while instantly blocking harmful loud sounds, enhancing safety and communication on the range or during hunting.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have a question about your hearing, you’re not alone. Current estimates place the number of hearing impaired adults in the Unites States at just over 37 million.

What is age-related hearing loss?

Presbycusis, or age-related hearing loss, comes on gradually as a person gets older. It seems to run in families and may occur because of changes in the inner ear and auditory nerve.

Presbycusis may make it hard for a person to tolerate loud sounds or to hear what others are saying. Age-related hearing loss usually occurs in both ears, affecting them equally. The loss is gradual, so someone with presbycusis may not realize that he or she has lost some of his or her ability to hear.

Why am I losing my hearing?

Hearing loss happens for different reasons. Many people lose their hearing slowly as they age. This condition is known as presbycusis. Doctors do not know why presbycusis affects some people more than others, but it seems to run in families.

Another reason for hearing loss with aging may be years of exposure to loud noise. This condition is known as noise-induced hearing loss. Many construction workers, farmers, musicians, airport workers, yard and tree care workers, and people in the armed forces have hearing problems even in their younger and middle years because of too much exposure to loud noise.

Hearing loss can also be caused by viral or bacterial infections, heart conditions or stroke, head injuries, tumors, and certain medicines.

Will you need two hearing aids?

If you have a problem hearing in both ears (and that’s the rule not the exception) then 99% of the time you’ll need two hearing aids.
