One of the most common types of hearing loss is known as high-frequency hearing loss. While it can impact individuals of all ages, it tends to be more prevalent among older adults experiencing age-related hearing decline and individuals exposed to excessive noise. Those affected may encounter challenges in hearing higher frequency consonant sounds such as 's', 'h', or 'f'. Consequently, communication over the phone or television may be misinterpreted and speech may begin to sound muffled.

If you think you are experiencing these first signs of hearing loss, contact us here at Atlantic Hearing Care, so our professional staff can offer some solutions to get you the hearing care you need. Visit our website today.

True or false: You will be able to tell if you have hearing loss.

False: Many assume the signs of hearing loss are obvious, but in all actuality, the condition comes on gradually, and signs can be very subtle at first. In fact, many people go through years of hearing loss before they realize there might be a problem.

Do you struggle to hear when there is background noise?

If you can’t hear conversations when there’s background noise, it’s likely because your ears have trouble filtering out the environmental sounds. Trouble hearing, even with mild background noise, is often the first symptom of moderate hearing loss or auditory processing disorder (APD).

Hearing aids are useful in improving the hearing and speech comprehension of people who have hearing loss that results from damage to the small sensory hair cells in the inner ear. This type of hearing loss is called sensorineural hearing loss.

Hearing aids work by amplifying sound through a three-part system: The microphone receives sound and converts it into a digital signal. The amplifier increases the strength of the digital signal. The speaker produces an amplified sound in the ear.

Here at Atlantic Hearing Care, our experienced staff will perform a comprehensive hearing exam and get you the hearing care you need. Call us today!

Of the Americans age 20–64 who need hearing aids, only 16% use them.

Barriers such as high cost, stigma, lack of accessibility, and poor customer satisfaction have traditionally kept people from buying hearing aids. Perhaps the biggest factor in people opting out of wearing hearing aids is the lack of understanding as to how important our hearing health is to our overall well-being. Hearing loss is linked to cognitive decline, communication problems, balance issues, social isolation, depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.

Treatment depends on the cause of your hearing loss. Medications and surgical procedures are typically used to treat conductive hearing loss (which only affects 5-15% of those with hearing loss).
