You Don’t Know What You Are Not Hearing. “It’s confirmed, you really should get treated. It’s been clearly established that hearing care can only help and not hurt. Hearing care has been proven to be a no-risk treatment.” - Dr. Frank Lin, MD, Johns Hopkins Medical Center Hearing Loss is Not Harmless, but There is a Solution Auditory Therapy, like physical therapy, teaches the body and the brain to work better together. Auditory Therapy teaches your brain to listen and hear and understand better … with and without using hearing aids. To effectively understand, sounds have to be loud enough and not distorted. Hearing loss can deprive the brain of audition (is it loud enough?) and can cause distortion (I hear sounds but I cannot understand them!). Hearing loss causes the brain to forget how to listen. Hearing aids can help by making the sounds loud enough for the brain to hear and by helping shape the sounds to improve clarity. Even with hearing aids, the brain does not accurately decode and understand new sounds. Auditory Therapy teaches your brain to listen better and to correctly decode the sounds into meaningful words and information. Auditory Therapy helps you to listen and understand more effectively.
