Hearing
1 in 6 Australians has a
hearing loss. 1 in 2 people over the age of 75 has a hearing loss that
requires a hearing aid.
In childhood a mild hearing
loss can lead to delays in speech, learning and development.
For adults, the impact of
hearing loss can be as minor as the embarrassment when a misunderstanding
occurs or it can be serious causing major miscommunication at work and/or in
relationships.
Hearing Assessments for adults & children
We can test the hearing of people from the age
of 6 months to mature adults. We use a range of hearing tests and take a
detailed history so that we fully understand the situations where hearing
difficulties are experienced. This process ensures that we are able to
provide you with the best hearing solution to suit your needs.
Hearing aids
Hearing
aid prescription is based on the residual hearing of the client, the
dynamics of speech signal (soft and loud sounds of speech), the filtering of
very loud sounds to avoid discomfort, the choice of controls on the aids,
programming of situational variations such as music or phone programs,
comfort of the aids and cosmetic considerations.
Our
clinicians are able to guide you through the multitude of factors that you
need to consider when choosing hearing aids. We provide
information about latest hearing aid styles and
hearing aid
features
to get the best results for your hearing.
Listening Devices and Telephones
Hearing the television clearly and being able to communicate by telephone
are high priorities for our clients. We have available a range of
TV devices
and telephones for increasing volume for those who need a hearing boost.
Assessment of Auditory Processing
Disorder
Auditory Processing Disorder
(APD) is a listening disorder where children experience problems in the
processing of auditory (sound) information. While a child with APD has
normal hearing, he/she may have difficulty concentrating in background
noise, responding to verbal instruction and learning in the classroom. We
assess Auditory Processing Disorder at our
Lindfield Clinic.
Hearing protection
Hearing is a precious resource that when cared
for will ensure good communication into maturity. We provide
specialised earplugs for
people exposed to loud noise including loud music. |
