When you come to the Audiology & Hearing Aid Center of Eastern
Carolina E-N-T Head & Neck Surgery, you will meet with an audiologist
who will evaluate your hearing. A comprehensive hearing test is
performed to determine not only your ability to hear and understand
speech, but also to determine your ability to hear different frequencies
or pitches. If the hearing test shows that you have a hearing loss
or if you are experiencing significant communication problems in
work, home, and social environments are considered potential candidates
for hearing aids.

you may see the advantages of each type of hearing aid. Together you
will determine specific needs that must be satisfied for the hearing
aid fitting to be successful for you and establish reasonable goals
for the hearing aid fitting. |
