Fear of falling Feeling lightheaded or faint regularly If any of these resonate with you, please call us! We’d be happy to help you on your road to recovery. Living with dizziness and/or imbalance can be debilitating. Do you want to save this post for reference to show someone later? Hit the three dots in the right hand corner of this post.

Expectations. Hearing aids have such a mixed reputation. This is because some people are not given proper expectations before the hearing aids are fit. Part of the amplification process at The Hearing & Dizziness Clinic involves our audiologists setting proper expectations, based on your hearing evaluation, before hearing aids are prescribed. That is why our acceptance rate is so high at The Hearing & Dizziness Clinic. We take pride in counseling our patients regarding the...ir hearing loss and the appropriate amplification for their specific needs. We are truly curating a unique experience for each and every patient! Call us to learn more about how we can tailor to your individual needs! (519) 961-9285 See more

You’re never too old to get a I had my hearing tested sticker and you are never too young to get your hearing tested. #amherstburgontario #essex #lasalle #harrow

I must let you know, due to allergies I feel very congested today- I’m afraid it might affect my hearing test. Did you know that with a routine hearing evaluation I can tell if your hearing loss is caused by middle ear issues (congestion, fullness, middle ear fluid) or nerve loss in the inner ear? Yup, that’s right! I have different ways of testing your hearing that allows me to figure out just where your hearing loss is occuring! ... Have you ever had a hearing test?

If you or someone you know has diabetes the likelihood of hearing loss multiplies by two. Just like high blood glucose can damage organs such as eyes and kidneys it can also damage the inner ear. Our inner ears are extremely sensitive to blood flow and even our eardrums include a network of small blood vessels! If you or your loved one has diabetes a routine hearing evaluation should be a part of your yearly check ups!

Hearing loss is actually a risk factor in cognitive decline and dementia. Several different factors contribute to this. To put it simply hearing loss prevents the auditory cortex from being stimulated. Also,if you can’t participate in a conversation you're simply not engaging your brain. If you are gathering with family this holiday season take notice if someone in your family is having a hard time understanding or following the conversation. Most times it’s our family membe...rs who notice our troubles in conversation first!
