“If a hearing loss is indicated during the hearing test, your audiologist will discuss the results in depth with you to ensure you understand the broader picture of how the hearing system works, the cause of your personal hearing loss, and what technology options are available to improve your hearing and communication,” said Julie Decker, Hear and Say Head of Audiology.
“It’s actually our brain which processes sound – the ears are just the pathway. Where need is indicated, hearing aids give you the best chance of keeping your auditory system and brain stimulated and healthy, and can even reduce the gradual deterioration of your hearing over time – all while improving your ability to hear.
“Being able to make an informed decision is key. As an audiologist, I spend a significant amount of time using a range of materials to inform someone about their type of hearing loss and its severity. Clients need to feel empowered about their hearing loss, and then we need to treat it in a way which best suits their individual hearing and communication needs and goals.”
