Audiology and Hearing Aids

When you’re on the job it’s important to hear everything around you, from your boss giving you an assignment to listening to the equipment you’re operating. However both loud impact-type sounds – such as a jackhammer – or extended time exposed to a sound – like with lawn mowers – can permanently damage your hearing. This month is Better Hearing and Speech Month, and is the perfect time to learn what can damage your hearing and what you can do to protect it.

Hearing loss affects a large number of people as they age, and many of those people will need hearing aids. However, there is a lot of misinformation about hearing loss and hearing aids, so today we’ll separate the myths from the facts.

CEENTA’s audiology department continues its tradition of training the next generation of hearing care specialists through its 2016-17 externship program, with education tracks that cover everything from new technology to working with children to the business side of hearing care.
