Vision and Hearing-We Treat Them Both

Vision and Hearing Tend to Fail at the Same Stage in Life

Signs of Hearing Loss

  • Difficulty hearing conversation in crowded places
  • Ringing or other noises in your ears
  • Others telling you that you don’t seem to hear them well
  • Others complaining that you watch the TV with the volume too high
  • Frequently asking others to repeat themselves
  • People seem to be mumbling in everyday conversations
  • Difficulty understanding women of young children’s voices
  • Trouble knowing where sounds are coming from

Vision and hearing are your two most important sensory organs.  Together they create your internal GPS system.  Each has a dedicated cranial nerve transmitting essential input data to the visual cortex and auditory cortex of the brain in each and every moment of every day.  Unfortunately, both tend to fail at the same stage in life and neither works well without the other.  This is why Whitson Vision has added state-of-the-art comprehensive hearing examinations to the many ocular services we provide.
As with vision, your hearing continues to change from year to year and may deteriorate over time.  It is important to identify problems or changes and address them early.  We now routinely screen for indications of hearing loss in all of our patients; however, you can call to schedule a comprehensive hearing evaluation at any time.  A comprehensive hearing evaluation is included as part of the total care package that we provide.  There is never a charge for our comprehensive hearing evaluation.  We are proud to be able to offer this service to our community.Ear Diagram
Did You Know
Hearing loss is a pervasive problem affecting approximately 50% of older Americans.  Only arthritis and hypertension affect more senior adults.  Baby boomers are experiencing hearing loss as much as 20 years earlier in life than previous generations.

80% of people with significant hearing loss are undiagnosed and untreated.  Fortunately, we can treat about 9 out of 10 people with cases of significant hearing loss right here under the watchful eye of your physician.
The Impact is Real
Untreated hearing loss is linked to clinical depression, anger management, social withdrawal and isolation, evolving fears and phobias about activities and situations that used to seem normal.

More simply stated, hearing loss can change your personality and affects your relationships with everyone you know and with whom you have contact.

While vision loss affects only you, hearing loss affects everyone.  It becomes exhausting to try to hear and follow conversations or events and it is equally frustrating for everyone else around you.  Hearing loss can take away the precious moments of life from you and your loved ones.
