Hearing Loss

Hearing loss is a condition that affects people of all ages and involves a partial or total inability to hear in one or both ears. This condition can range from mild to profound and may result from various factors, including age, noise exposure, infections, or genetic conditions. At Revere Health, we provide comprehensive care for patients with hearing loss, offering both medical evaluations and advanced treatment options to improve hearing and quality of life.

Types of Hearing Loss
Conductive Hearing Loss: Occurs when sound is not efficiently conducted through the outer ear canal to the eardrum and middle ear. Common causes include ear infections, fluid buildup, or earwax blockage.
Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Involves damage to the inner ear or the auditory nerve and is often permanent. This type is commonly related to aging (presbycusis) or exposure to loud noise.
Mixed Hearing Loss: A combination of both conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.

Symptoms of Hearing Loss
Difficulty Understanding Speech: Trouble hearing conversations, especially in noisy environments.
Muffled Hearing: Sounds may seem unclear or faint.
Asking for Repetition: Frequently asking others to repeat themselves.
Ringing in the Ears (Tinnitus): A common symptom associated with hearing loss.

Treatment Options
Hearing Aids: Amplify sound to help improve hearing ability in patients with mild to moderate hearing loss.
Cochlear Implants: For patients with severe hearing loss, these surgically implanted devices bypass damaged parts of the ear to directly stimulate the auditory nerve.
Medical or Surgical Interventions: In cases of conductive hearing loss, treatment may involve removing blockages, treating infections, or surgical procedures to improve hearing.
Assistive Listening Devices: Devices such as amplifiers or specialized phones can help those with hearing loss improve communication.
