Hearing Tests are the First Step to a Better Life
Compromised hearing can be disruptive in the lives of both children and adults, leading to poor performance in school and awkward social experiences. Hearing loss makes it harder to go through your daily life and erects barriers between you and others. It infringes on the ability to enjoy music and severely limits the sonic range of the sounds you can hear. Worley Magne wants to help New Orleans, LA residents. We provide hearing tests as part of a process aimed at securing hearing aids for our patients. Hearing aids can ease the disruption caused by hearing loss, improve school and work performance, and help foster better social engagement. By beginning this process, you’ll be able to hear music, movies, and the sounds of nature anew.
Hearing Test Determine the Extent of Hearing Loss
Audiograms are vital tools in understanding hearing loss because they help determine the scope of hearing loss and what kind of hearing aids a patient requires. During an audiogram, our audiologists measure the softest sounds a person can hear at different pitches or frequencies. Typically, we ask our patients to wear a set of headphones, where we set off pulses of noises at various frequencies and decibel in random order. Once we’re done with the test, we’ll have an accurate picture of your hearing loss. Many of our patients are children. We work hard to make the test as soothing and fun as we can. Because the examination takes place in a sound booth-style room and separate from the audiologist, it’s crucial to Worley Magne that the test takes place in a comfortable environment.
We Improve Patient Lives and Restore Social Confidence
We want to set our patients at ease. While hearing impairment can be an annoyance, high-quality hearing aids will enable individuals with hearing loss to lead a healthy life. In addition to outfitting you with state-of-the-art hearing aids – some with Bluetooth capabilities – we can also provide socialization tips. Many hearing-impaired individuals find it beneficial to advise their co-workers, friends, and family members to maintain eye contact while speaking to them. Our team adopts a total health approach to hearing tests and hearing aid fittings.
