Vision and Hearing: We Treat Them Both

Vision and Hearing are your two most important senses. Together they create your internal GPS system. Each has a dedicated cranial nerve transmitting essential information to the visual and auditory cortex of the brain, every moment of every day.

Unfortunately, both tend to fail at about the same stage in life and neither works as well without the other. Leading eye groups across the country are now treating vision and hearing together.

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.

Signs of Hearing Loss

• Difficulty hearing conversations in crowded places
• Ringing or other noises in your ears
• Others telling you that you don't seem to hear them
• 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 or young children's voices
• Trouble localizing sound

The Impact is Real

Untreated hearing loss is linked to clinical depression, anger management issues, social withdrawal and isolation, creating fears and phobias about activities and situations that once seemed 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 just you, hearing loss affects everyone. It becomes exhausting for you to follow conversations or events and it can be equally frustrating for those around you.

Hearing loss can take away the precious moments of life from you and your loved ones.

Now you can fulfill your eyeglasses, contacts, and hearing instrument needs in one convenient location with the clinical team you already know and trust.
