Hearing Care / Hearing aids
Capital Otolaryngology in Austin, Texas has all of your hearing needs covered. Whether the patient is a newborn that has failed hearing screening or a geriatric patient needing hearing aids, Capital Otolaryngology has all the services you require in one location.
Hearing loss can negatively affect the psychological and physical well-being of adults and children. In fact, prompt detection of hearing loss, coupled with appropriate intervention, is critical to speech, language and cognitive development in hearing-impaired children. Untreated hearing loss in older adults has been correlated with deterioration in physical, emotional, social and cognitive functioning. Hearing loss can cause insecurity, frustration, anger, confusion and isolation. Recent studies even suggest a link between hearing loss and serious health problems such as high blood pressure, kidney disease, diabetes, and heart disease.
Hearing evaluation in our office entails a thorough medical evaluation of the ear in combination with state-of-the-art hearing testing by one of our licensed Audiologists. This means you can be sure that any correctable cause of hearing loss can be addressed.
Our physicians use advanced microscopic evaluation of the ear canal, eardrum, and middle ear cavity. Any wax that blocks the canal can be painlessly removed. Detailed imaging using our in-office CT scanner can provide high-resolution pictures of the middle ear cavity to evaluate for causes of hearing loss.
Our Audiologists use the latest in sound isolation booth technology to obtain very accurate results. They are trained in the special techniques required to obtain accurate results in infants and children. We also have the most sophisticated instruments available to evaluate hearing loss in newborns (oto-acoustic emission testing).
We determine the exact nature of your hearing loss to see if a hearing instrument is appropriate for you. If so, we’ll recommend a hearing device that fits your budget, your needs and your lifestyle. Recent technology has radically improved hearing aids with advances in digital signal processing. In the majority of cases a hearing instrument can be fit without blocking the ear canal. This allows for more natural sounding speech and prevents the users speech from echoing in their head. These hearing instruments do a great job of allowing you to understand speech in the presence of background noise. These modern hearing aids are also much smaller and easily hidden from view.
