Untreated Hearing Loss is Not
a Harmless Condition.
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.
