  • You have to keep asking people to speak up or repeat themselves?
  • You struggle to decipher conversations from the background noise in crowded places like parks, parties or restaurants?
  • Hearing people on the telephone is hard?
  • You keep cranking up the volume on the TV?

These symptoms are more than just annoying; hearing loss can lead to feelings of panic, loss and even grief and hopelessness—but don’t lose hope—get help! Arlington audiologist Dr. Sandra Romano has been there too—contact us for an appointment; she can help you hear what you’ve been missing!

Turn On, Tune In and Enjoy Listening Again

The “Sounds of Silence” have their place, but not when you need and want to hear what is going on around you. 28 million Americans suffer from some level of hearing loss; yet only one in five of these people have visited with their local audiologist about getting their hearing back. In fact, only 17% of people over 50 have had their hearing checked, and this is a high-risk population for hearing loss.

There is absolutely no reason to continue missing out on conversations, music, classes, business meetings—the fabulous banquet of sounds all around you—especially when today’s technology provides us with so many excellent and innovative hearing solutions! We can help you with the following services to restore lost hearing and boost your quality of life:

  • Hearing Tests—When our Arlington audiologist runs hearing tests, many of her patients are shocked to discover how far advanced their hearing loss really is and what they’ve been missing. Many of them knew there was a problem, but didn’t realize their hearing loss was so advanced. This is because most hearing loss comes on so gradually that most patients do not notice it initially. If you struggle with any of the symptoms listed above, and particularly if you are 50 or older, call and schedule an appointment for our high-tech hearing tests. Audiologist Sandra Romano is constantly investing in the latest hearing test technology and advanced hearing education. We have a Verifit Real Ear Machine and professional sound booths made for iPhone lab—all for the most precise and insightful hearing tests in Washington D.C.
  • Hearing Aids and Hearing Instruments—We carry all of the most advanced styles and brands of hearing aids. In fact, our Washington, DC Metropolitan Audiologist wears them herself! This makes Dr. Sandra Romano uniquely qualified to help you find exactly the right hearing aids for you, as she has worn several different styles and can explain the differences between them from personal experience. Our hearing aids even come with iPhone and iPad connectivity, free batteries and a 30-day return policy. It is important to us that we find you the right pair of hearing aids to make life sound great again, and we will go the extra mile to make sure you get them!

77% of People Who Have Hearing Loss Make This Health Error

Couple in denial about their hearing loss laugh over misunderstanding.

Hearing loss – it’s usually perceived as a fact of life as we age. Hearing loss is experienced by lots of older Americans as is tinnitus or a ringing in the ears. But for such an accepted affliction lots of people still won’t admit they deal with loss of hearing.

A new study from Canada suggests that more than 50 percent of all middle aged or older Canadians cope with some type of loss of hearing, but no concerns were reported at all by more than 77% percent of those. In the US, more than 48 million individuals have some kind of hearing loss, but many do not try to do anything about it. If this denial is on purpose or not is debatable, but in either case, loss of hearing is ignored by a significant number of individuals – which, later on, could cause substantial problems.

Why is Loss of Hearing Missed by Some people?

It’s a challenging question. Loss of hearing is a slow process, and some people might not even notice that they have a more difficult time hearing things or understanding people than they once did. A lot of times they blame everyone else around them – the person they’re talking to is muttering, the TV volume is too low, or there’s too much background interference. hearing loss can be blamed, unfortunately, on a number of things, and people’s first instinct is not usually going to be to get checked out or have a hearing test.

On the other hand, there may be some individuals who know they have hearing loss but refuse to admit it. Another study conducted in the United States shows that many seniors who have hearing issues flat out deny it. They mask their problem in any way they can, either because they don’t want to admit to having an issue or because of perceived stigmas attached to hearing loss.

The problem with both of these scenarios is that by rejecting or not recognizing you have a hearing problem you could actually be negatively impacting your overall health.

Neglected Hearing Loss Can Have a Debilitating Impact

It’s not just your ears that are impacted by loss of hearing – high blood pressure and heart disease have also been associated with hearing loss along with anxiety, depression, and mental decline.

Research has revealed that individuals who have addressed their hearing loss using cognitive therapy, changes of diet and hearing aids have better overall health and longer life expectancy.

It’s crucial to identify the indications of hearing loss – difficulty carrying on conversations, cranking up the volume on the TV and radio, or a chronic ringing or humming in your ears.

What Can You Do to Manage Hearing Loss?

You can control your hearing loss with several treatment options. Hearing aids are the form of treatment that is the most prevalent, and hearing aid technology has developed by leaps and bounds over the last several years so it’s unlikely you’ll have the same issues your parents or grandparents did. Contemporary hearing aids have Bluetooth functionality so they can connect wirelessly to your smartphone or TV and they are capable of filtering out background noise and wing.

A dietary changes could affect your hearing health if you suffer from anemia. Consuming more foods that are high in iron has been shown to help people combat tinnitus and loss of hearing since iron deficiency anemia has been revealed to lead to hearing loss.

Getting your hearing examined regularly, however, is the most significant thing you can do.

Do you suspect that might have loss of hearing? Come in and get tested.
