Hearing Tests in Palm Beach Gardens, FL
To understand how hearing loss affects you, as well as the degree, a hearing test will need to be done. Beginning with an ear exam, the inside of your ears will be looked at using an otoscope to ensure they are free of impacted wax. Then, while sitting in a soundproof booth, you will listen for a series of sounds at different pitches and frequencies. This will help our audiologist understand your exact degree of hearing loss, which will be recorded on an audiogram.

Tinnitus Treatment
Tinnitus, also known as ringing in the ears, is a common condition, affecting millions of people. Tinnitus is not a hearing disorder, but rather a symptom of another underlying problem. Patients with tinnitus can hear a range of sounds, including buzzing, humming, ringing, or whooshing.
If you have tinnitus in addition to hearing loss, then hearing aids may be a solution. Tinnitus masking hearing aids can play soothing sounds in your ears, to distract your brain from tinnitus. While hearing aids won’t stop ringing in the ears completely, they can help.
