Hearing loss is a common problem for many people, and it can be caused by a variety of factors including age, noise exposure, and genetics. Fortunately, there are a variety of treatment options available to those with hearing loss. At Platinum Hearing Aids, we are dedicated to helping our patients achieve full-spectrum hearing through audiology care and hearing aid services. In today's blog, we’ll discuss four options for treating hearing issues.
Cochlear Implants
For severe hearing loss, a small device known as a cochlear implant can be surgically implanted in the ear. They help to transmit sound signals to the brain and are used most commonly by people who do not benefit from hearing aids.
Medical Treatments
There are some medical treatments available to help those with hearing loss. These include injectable drugs, stem cell therapy, and even surgery. These treatments can help to improve hearing by restoring the function of the damaged auditory nerve in some cases.
Assisted Listening Devices
Assisted listening devices are designed to amplify sound and make it easier for those with hearing issues to understand. These devices can include personal amplifiers, TV listening systems, alerting devices, and more.
