If you are having a difficult time hearing or understanding human speech, you may be a candidate for hearing aids. A hearing healthcare professional can perform a series of tests to find out what frequencies and types of words you have the most difficulty with. 

If you regularly are in noisy environments like busy streets, concerts, construction sites, or any place where guns are fired (military service, hunting, police work), you are likely at risk for hearing loss. Hearing loss typically doesn't happen all at once, it is caused by a lifetime of improper hearing safety and damage to your hearing system. Old age is also a very common cause of hearing loss, and when this occurs it is called presbycusis. 

Wakefield Hearing will ask you background questions to learn about your hearing history. Next, you will be given a hearing exam where they will look inside your ear, possibly with a video otoscope so you are able to see the inside of your own ears. All hearing healthcare professional typically provide a pure-tone audiometry test to identify exactly which frequencies you have difficulty understanding.

We are born with two ears for a reason. Having one ear on each side of our head that can clearly understand sound allows us to localize sounds such as moving cars, people speaking behind us, and hear instruments in a band. Some people having hearing loss that only affects a single ear, or in rare cases, they hear better with one hearing aid. These cases are considered unusual, and most people will hear much better using two hearing aids.
