When you’re dealing with hearing problems, it makes sense to take those problems to a professional. When you consult a professional audiologist, they’re able to get to the bottom of the problem, assess your hearing and understand the extent of any hearing loss that’s present.

From there, they’ll be able to offer you the right treatment and you’ll be able to start getting back to life as normal. But as you go through this process and get the treatments you need for your hearing loss; you might be wondering what kind of questions you need to ask your audiologist. Here are five of the most important ones.

1. WHAT WILL MY TEST AND EVALUATION INVOLVE?

Before you go ahead and have your test carried out, you’ll want to know exactly what it’s going to involve. It can be daunting for some people who haven’t had a hearing test carried out before. If you’re unsure of what it will involve, simply ask your audiologist to talk you through the steps.

That way, you’ll go into the whole evaluation process fully informed and knowing what to expect. When you know what’s going to happen, you can feel a lot more comfortable about everything and at ease during the testing and evaluation process. They’ll be happy to provide them with all the information they need.

2. WHAT TYPE OF HEARING LOSS DO I HAVE?

Once the evaluation and testing has been completed, you’ll want to know exactly what’s wrong with your hearing and what can be done next to improve it. Before you can take the next steps in terms of treatments, you should find out more about the nature of your hearing loss because there are different types of and different degrees of hearing loss.

You’ll want to have a full understanding of your hearing health. It can all be very confusing when your audiologist is speaking in technical terms, so don’t hesitate to ask them to slow down and explain things in simpler terms if there’s anything at all that you’re not sure about.

3. WHICH HEARING DEVICES AND FORMS OF ASSISTANCE CAN YOU OFFER?

There’s a wide range of treatments and devices that can be used to correct your hearing loss. It’s important to understand all of these devices and their various advantages and disadvantages. When you do that, you can be sure that you eventually settle on the corrective assistance that’s right for you.

Of course, it’s important that you make this choice in consultation with your audiologist. They’ll be able to tell you what you need to know about the various options that are out there. If you’re entirely new to this and you’ve never chosen a hearing aid before, listening carefully to the advice of your audiologist will be key.

4. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO PREVENT FUTURE HEARING LOSS?

Hearing loss is something that can get worse over time. If you’re not sure about how you should avoid that eventuality, it’s important to ask your audiologist about it. Hearing protection is key and there are many situations in which you might want to start using it for the good of your hearing health.

Once you know that you have a problem with your hearing, it’s important to start thinking about how you can prevent those problems from getting worse over time. The last thing you want is for your hearing to continue to decline over time because that will put more strain on your health and make treating the problem more difficult.

5. WHAT CAN MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS DO TO HELP ME AND ADAPT?

There are many struggles that come with experiencing hearing loss. One of the things you might want to talk about with your audiologist is how your friends and family members can adapt to the situation. It’s tough for the people around the person experiencing hearing loss as well as the person themselves.

Your audiologist should be able to give you and your family some tips and pointers on how to adapt to the new situation and how to handle communication while taking your hearing needs into account.
