2. Hearing Technology (Hearing Aids) & Treatment Options: The Journey to Improved Speech Understanding

We hear with our brains, not our ears.

The new generation of hearing technology is designed to treat the cognitive impairments of hearing loss. Unlike traditional hearing aids that are manufactured to simply make things louder, today’s treatment options restore clarity of speech in all listening situations, including rooms with significant background noise. There are several treatment technology options available depending on the results of your hearing consultation and any further hearing testing.

Hearing technology is designed to stimulate the damaged areas of your auditory pathway and its effectiveness is dependent on the extent of the impairment, the duration it went untreated, and coming back for follow up appointments to truly customize your treatment for your specific hearing needs. Treatment begins as soon as the initial appointment and over the first few weeks, there is an adaptive process occurring as your brain becomes acclimated to restored clarity.

3. Adaptation to Treatment Technology

In an ideal world, we would begin treatment for each patient the first day their hearing loss started. However, in the real world, statistics tell us that patients tend to wait for an average of seven years before starting hearing treatment.

Stimulation of the auditory system has a positive impact on the entire brain – and needs to be delivered at a conservative pace to ensure a successful treatment. Our method of adapting clarity and volume levels within the first few months has been shown to be the most effective treatment protocol– with the best outcomes and the highest patient satisfaction.

Upon beginning treatment, you can expect new experiences and new sounds and will visit the office 2-3 times over the first 30-60 days for adjustments and further testing. While science is the driving force behind treatment technology, patient experience and feedback help guide the treatment process as well.

Understanding the adaptive process of the brain is the basis for our comprehensive training program that encompasses total auditory rehabilitation and active, engaged living for our patients. As your hearing diminished over time, so did your brain’s ability to orient, localize, and focus on the speech sounds you want to hear. Think of this stage of treatment as the “physical therapy” for your ears.

Our comprehensive auditory and brain stimulation program will help you think faster, focus better, and remember more of what you hear.

4. Scientific Verification of Improved Hearing Ability

It is critical that treatment is scientifically verified and validated. ‘Real-ear measurements’ (REM) provide a method to objectively assess the accuracy and stimulation levels of your hearing technology. Real-ear measurements are considered the “gold standard” method for achieving proper clarity and stimulation by ensuring that your hearing technology is hitting prescriptive targets inside your head.
