Hearing Loss Specialist

Hearing loss ranks with Arthritis and Hypertension as the 3 most common chronic medical conditions in the world.

Unfortunately, hearing loss is the most frequently undiagnosed and untreated of these 3. 

In fact, 80% of people with clinically advanced HEARING LOSS have never been tested or treated for the problem. That’s a hearing loss of 40dB or more in BOTH EARS

Untreated hearing loss has profoundly negative effects. It can cause (or is directly linked to) these and many more problems:

• Clinical Depression
• Acceleration of Dementia and Alzheimer’s Symptoms
• Anger Management Problems
• Social Withdrawal and Isolation
• Increase in Fears and Phobias 
• The Ability to Understand and Communicate in Noisy Public Places
• Employability and Earning Power
