Swift AUDIOL OGY Experience the freedom of better hearing. LEBRATIN 35th ANNIVERSARY B6-2021 Dr. Lauren Carmen, Au.D. AUDIOLOGIST- Swift Audiology 4 Offices Serving the Pittsburgh Region Allison Park | North Hills South Hills | Washington Q. When is the RIGHT time to get hearing aids? At Swift Audiology, my patients constantly tell me, "I wish I would have gotten my hearing aids sooner!". The truth is, it takes most people about five to seven years to pursue hearing amplification once they have been diagnosed with an aidable hearing loss. Some reasons why people delay the process include: vanity, a lack of knowledge about hearing aids, fear that the devices will be bothersome, and mistrust from experiences with previous health care professionals. Do you constantly feel like people are mumbling? Are you having trouble hearing in noisy situations? Is speech difficult to understand while watching your favorite television show or movie? If your ability to hear is affecting the quality of your or a loved one's life, then I would suggest scheduling a hearing evaluation. Hearing aids have proven to boost your mood, keep your mind sharp, and most importantly, improve your quality of life. The journey to hearing better may seem intimidating at first, but at Swift Audiology, we take adequate time needed to educate you on your hearing loss and how hearing aids may help. We make the process easy by working together to find the right solution for your personal listening needs. Although there is not a universal "right time" to get hearing aids, the sooner you start the process the better. So...what are you waiting for? Call 412-775-2463 to learn more. J. Clin.
