At Alabama Hearing Associates, the team feels privileged to help people every day get the right support and treatment for their conditions.
Over the past 29 years, they’ve seen the life-changing benefits that doctors of audiology can have on so many of their patients.
Hearing loss doesn’t just affect your ability to process sounds, but it can also affect your quality of life and connection to others significantly.
This is why everyone at Alabama Hearing Associates is extremely passionate about healthy hearing today.
The risks remain clear
One of the main reasons why the team remain passionate about hearing loss is they know how untreated conditions can affect people in our community.
Whereas hearing loss was once thought of as an isolated health issue, researchers have shown it can lead to a variety of associated social and cognitive problems.
People with severe conditions often participate less in society, as conversations with others can leave them feeling tired and frustrated.
Similarly, when sounds stop entering our ears, it can affect how our brains function. These are crucial receptors for how we receive and interpret basic information.
This means treating hearing loss isn’t a luxury, but a necessity. The right help can transform the lives of people who may otherwise suffer for years to come.
The technology has advanced
Another reason why we are passionate about healthy hearing is the technology for testing and treating people has advanced greatly.
The tools that our doctors of audiology now use to detect and diagnose a hearing loss can pick up a condition even in its earliest stages.
In addition, hearing aid treatments are far more sophisticated compared with their earlier ancestors.
They not only deliver incredible sound quality and clarity but are sleekly designed, meaning they often seem almost invisible.
There’s never been a better time to invest in these incredible instruments.
It makes a huge difference
Our doctors of audiology also feel passionate about their work because they see the difference it makes to people on a daily basis.
Studies show it can take years for someone to admit a hearing loss.
But once they get an assessment and receive the right treatment, they often feel relieved and elated – hearing sounds they previously forgot existed.
“I wish I did this years ago,” many say.
It’s the small comments like this that make us want to keep helping people in Madison and Huntsville.
