Hearing Loss

• Approximately 90 of hearing losses are
  sensorineural. In fact, most people who wear
  hearing aids have sensorineural hearing loss. In
  most cases, these types of hearing loss are
  permanent and cannot be treated by medication or
  surgery. Hearing aids are thus the primary mode
  of treatment. In cases of severe or profound
  cases, cochlear implants may be a consideration.
• Conductive hearing loss accounts for 5-10 of
  hearing losses and are generally treated by
  medication or surgery.
• Mixed hearing loss is a combination of both
  sensorineural (nerve loss) and conductive
  hearing losses which occur simultaneously.
  Surgery, hearing aids and assistive listening
  devices are all treatment options.

Hearing Aids
Changes to the ears can occur for many reasons.
For many, various medical conditions can impair
our hearing. For others, the aging process can
deprive us the ability to perform well when we
need to most. Tens of millions of Americas report
various issues hearing, including in the
presence of background noise, on the television,
or with soft speakers. Hearing aids allow the
user the opportunity to drastically improve in
conditions like these, vastly improving
communication and quality of life. Coastal Ear,
Nose, and Throat has a vast array of options to
assist all hearing needs. Wearing hearing aids
is about more than improving hearing. When you
can hear and understand what others are saying,
you are more involved in your life. You can carry
on conversations and connect with colleagues and
those you love. Hearing well reduces your risk of
accidents and also fosters long-term cognitive
health.

Custom Earmolds
Custom earmolds are made to specifically fit the
size and shape of your individual ear, which
provides for a more comfortable fit compared to
many over-the-counter options. The tighter, more
accurate fit provides for a better seal to
protect against noise exposure or to keep water
out of the ear. An audiologist takes impressions
of each ear using a silicone material these
impressions are then sent out to an earmold
manufacturer who will make the molds specific
for each order. Earmolds are available in various
materials and colors. For children, it is
recommended that they use earmolds attached to
their hearing aids. Since their ears are
constantly growing and changing in size and
shape, the audiologist will need to monitor the
fit of the earmolds at regular follow-up
appointments.

Pediatric Audiology and Hearing Aid Specialist
When you bring your child to a pediatric
audiological evaluation, you will meet the
audiologist, who will discuss all relevant case
history. You may be asked about your pregnancy,
including any complications, as well as whether
your child needed a stay in the NICU. Other
topics may include history of ear infections,
previously failed hearing tests, family history
of early-onset hearing loss, and speech issues.

Dizziness and Motion Sickness

• Feeling unsteady or dizzy can happen due to poor
  circulation, vertigo, injury, infection,
  allergies, or neurological disease. Dizziness is
  treatable but it is important for your doctor to
  help you determine the cause so that the correct
  treatment is used.
• While each person will be affected differently,
  symptoms that warrant a visit to the doctor
  include a high fever, severe headache,
  convulsions or ongoing vomiting, chest pain,
  heart palpitations, shortness of breath,
  inability to move an arm or leg, a change in
  vision or speech, or hearing loss.
