Hearing Care Services In Hilo
A diagnostic audiological evaluation means that your hearing requires a deeper dive to determine if a hearing loss is present and to detail the type and severity of the hearing loss. This can show the causes of hearing loss and help the professional make appropriate treatment recommendations.
Ear wax, also called cerumen, is naturally formed in the ears to lubricate the canal and prevent debris from getting to the eardrum. The ear is self-cleaning, and wax typically clears on its own, but often it can accumulate and cause a blockage, especially if you wear something in your ears that prevents the wax from getting out.
After the initial testing and recommendations, the hearing aids are ordered custom fit and tailor-made specifically for your unique needs. Then in a week or two, the devices are fit using state-of-the-art fitting techniques to select gain in each given frequency and other parameters to maximize comfort and understanding.
Professional monitors for musicians, ear protection for being in noise, or even swim plugs require a very accurate impression of the ear. This is a simple process, but it is often difficult to do correctly. Getting an actual image is becoming a lost art and requires long experience with many impressions to guarantee the correct size and shape.
