Reasons to get your hearing tested in Springfield MO

• Age: While not the sole determining factor of hearing loss, age is by far the most prevalent mark of the hearing impaired. Studies show that the greatest area of hearing loss is between the ages of 60 – 69. Obviously, this does not mean everyone in that age range has hearing deficiency or impairment, but you should be sure to schedule a visit with us to test your hearing if you fall into a high risk demographic and show any signs of hearing loss.

• Family History: Hearing loss can be genetic. If your family has a history of hearing impairment or hearing loss, you may already have signs of hearing loss yourself without even knowing it. Our ears can train themselves to compensate for the absence of certain frequencies or volumes. If you find yourself asking “what did you say?”, or if it is difficult to understand what someone is saying without watching their lips move, don’t wait: schedule a visit with us today for a free hearing evaluation.

• Noticeable Changes: Hearing loss can be identified by observing how our ears respond, or do not respond to changes around us. For example, the “ding” of a microwave, a phone’s ring, an indicernable voice from another room. If you find yourself straining to hear things and make out words, if it is hard to listen to a conversation in a group of people talking, get an appointment, or stop by our office for a free hearing test.
