Hearing Conservation- Custom Hearing Protection
It is no surprise that exposure to dangerous levels of noise can cause permanent hearing loss. It is estimated that 26 million Americans between the ages of 20 and 69 have hearing loss that may have been caused by exposure to noise. Noise is everywhere. It can be found in the work setting or during leisurely activities such as attending a concert or going hunting. The bottom line is that noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) in most cases is preventable. At the Taylor Listening Center, we want to help you protect your hearing. Come in for a hearing conservation consultation!
Your hearing conservation consultation will include:
1. Detailed hearing health questionnaire, be prepared to discuss past noise exposure!
2. Baseline hearing testing to check for damage already caused by noise.
3. Discussion of all results on our high-definition patient monitor.
4. Recommendations on how to avoid noise-induced hearing loss.
5. If necessary, we will take impressions of the ear canals for custom hearing protection. At this step, the patient gets the opportunity to customize their hearing protection by choosing from a variety of styles and colors. See below for our complete list of hearing protection offered at the Taylor Listening Center.
