Hearing Loss
Estimates on hearing tell us that between 10% and 15% of the population have some form of hearing loss. Often, because an individual accepts their reduced ability to hear, the difficulty goes unnoticed and untreated. Unable to pick up some sounds and small, brief conversational cues, the person begins to alter their personality and outlook. Even more damaging, these lapses may be interpreted as signs of inattentiveness or reduced capacity. Of more concern, is the growing body of research, indicating the health consequences of hearing loss, including the increased risk of dementia.
Diagnosing Hearing Loss
Since 1952 Wilks Hearing Center has been helping people recognize and deal with hearing loss. Education, experience, and integrity are the backbone of the Wilks Hearing Center’s team record of patient satisfaction. Using the latest state-of-the-art diagnostic methods, we help children and adults with hearing loss to enjoy happier, fuller, and more satisfying lives.
