Diagnostic Services & Hearing Aid Dispensary in Salinas & Monterey

One out of four people over the age of 60 has a hearing problem, but most people do not seek treatment until 7 years after their hearing starts to go.

Don't wait to have your hearing issue diagnosed. The sooner you have a skilled audiologist diagnose your condition, the more receptive your auditory nerve will be to treatment.

At Central Coast Audiology, Inc., you can receive treatment and buy high-quality hearing aids in Salinas and Monterey in one location. We offer both diagnostic tests and hearing equipment because having an audiologist personally fit and troubleshoot the piece ensures that the patient will receive the desired results.

Diagnosis of Hearing Problems

In many cases, hearing is lost so gradually that the patient does not even realize they are having issues. If you are concerned that a friend or loved one has hearing damage, speak with their coworkers and others they interact with on a daily basis, and ask if they have noticed the patient having difficulties hearing. This information will be helpful for the audiologist to determine which diagnostic tests to perform.

Only 16% of family practitioners check their patients for hearing loss. Hearing loss that goes untreated could leave someone in their elder years unable to communicate with the people around them. When it comes to hearing, if you don't use it, you'll lose it-which is why it's important to visit an audiologist whenever you suspect you or a loved one is undergoing hearing loss.

Hearing Devices Monterey

After a diagnostic test reveals what kind of hearing issue you are suffering from, our audiologist will fit you with an appropriate hearing aid. Picking an appropriately shaped hearing aid that is designed for your specific hearing issue is vital to improving your situation. For this reason, we do not recommend buying a hearing aid without an audiologist present to properly fit and test the device.

We sell various types of hearing aids, and our audiologist will recommend a fit that best suits your needs.
