Let Our Professionals Help You With Your Hearing Issues

Communication is vital in life. It allows people to express their thoughts, be understood by others, and convey their wants and needs. In addition, it helps them foster deeper relationships with others.
When people hear the word “communication,” speaking usually comes to mind. However, most individuals typically overlook the other aspect: hearing. Being able to hear properly is the first step to effective communication.
Unfortunately, it can be difficult for people with hearing loss to participate in communicative activities. This is something we at Cook Hearing Aid are committed to addressing. We provide:

About Hearing Loss

Hearing loss is a common problem that affects people all over the world. A variety of factors can lead to it, and it can happen to anyone.

Causes

Hearing loss can be caused by repeated and prolonged exposure to loud noises or gradually with age. It could also result from head injuries, ear infections, and certain medications. To find out what is causing your loss of hearing, it is vital to consult a medical professional for an assessment.

What You Should Do If You Suspect Hearing Loss

Research suggests that people who have hearing loss wait approximately 7 years to seek treatment. Why wait that long when you can contact us now and take advantage of hearing your best? Call us at Cook Hearing Aid to receive a free hearing screening with our Doctor of Audiology–we’re here to help!

Dealing With Hearing Loss

Adjusting to living with hearing loss takes time and can be frustrating. Aside from affecting balance, it makes conversation difficult. It also causes physical and mental fatigue. In turn, this can lead to anxiety, depression, social isolation, and poorer overall health.
