Treating Hearing Loss Can Improve Quality of Life

 Hearing loss is associated with important adverse effects on the quality of life of individuals. Even with mild to moderate hearing loss, people report significant handicaps. Individuals with untreated hearing loss have a higher rate of depression, anxiety, paranoia and other emotional and psychological distress. Medical research shows that these adverse effects are reversible with treatment as simple as hearing aids. The key to success is early identification and proper intervention.

Over 30 million Americans, 1 out of every 10 people, have a hearing loss. Everyone with a hearing loss should have a medical and audiological evaluation. Fortunately, thanks to today’s technological advances, 90% of patients with hearing loss can be helped with properly fit hearing aids.

AuDNet, Inc. is a nationwide network of independent audiology providers. All AuDNet audiologists have earned advanced university degrees in audiology, and are fully trained to interpret case histories, carefully test and evaluate all aspects of the auditory system, advise physicians on hearing loss and balance etiologies, and treat hearing loss and balance conditions that are not amenable to medical or surgical intervention. 

The first consideration in seeking hearing care is the expertise and skill of the care giver. Through the AuDNet network of audiology providers, patients have an easy and effective way of insuring that they are receiving hearing care and treatment from qualified and highly trained audiologists.
