The Center for Speech and Hearing Sciences, Inc. provides a full range of diagnostic, preventative, and rehabilitative services. This hearing test should be repeated annually to monitor for further changes in hearing.
Comprehensive testing is also available to determine the nature of any identified hearing loss.
Hearing aid services, including evaluation and dispensing, are also available. This is due to the greater loss of the high frequencies than low frequencies. How this occurs is simple. Your ear canal is shaped like a tube and as such, has its own acoustic properties much like a musical instrument. The insertion of the plug alters the ear canal from an open ended tube of one length to a closed tube with a shorter length, resulting in a decrease in its response around 2700 Hz.
