Our office is
designed to put you at ease and our staff members devoted to your comfort and
quality of care. Your hearing is
important to us. We will do our best to
meet your schedule and see you at your reserved appointment. If your initial consultation is to determine
amplification needs, your comprehensive examination is complimentary.
Initial Evaluation:
During your initial visit, we complete a thorough history and
audiometric evaluation. The results are discussed
with you and any family members you wish to hear them, along with treatment
options.
Treatment Options: If your hearing disorder is
of a medical nature, you will be referred to your primary care physician for
appropriate determination of medical treatment options. However, if your hearing loss cannot be
corrected medically, most people can be effectively treated with hearing
aids. Dr. Johnson will review your
individual hearing needs in terms of what is best suited for you, and if
appropriate, discuss various kinds of hearing aids and whether you need one or
two. You do not have to purchase hearing
aids from our office nor will you feel pressured to do so.
Hearing Aids: There
are many technologies and strategies to arrive at the best hearing aid
arrangement for the individual. For
hearing aids to be successful, they must be comfortable, practical,
acoustically beneficial for the individual's hearing problems, and cosmetically
accepting. All factors are
important.
Hearing Aid Fitting: For custom made hearing aids it normally takes 1-2 weeks for your hearing aids to come in. If this is your first experience, expect the
fitting to take 45 minutes to one hour. We now carry several open fit technology hearing instruments which allow a patient to be tested and fitted the same day. Hear Better Today!
