Loud Music & Hearing Loss

 

Are Loud Noises A Serious Concern?

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) more than one billion teens and young adults are at risk of losing their hearing! Their research discovered that nearly 50% of 12 – 35-year-olds studied listened to their personal audio devices at unsafe sound levels. Ear buds are of special concern for hearing health since they direct sounds directly into the ear canal.

What Can I Do?

Listening to music at high volumes, causes noise induced hearing loss. Ear buds are particularly harmful to hearing as it funnels the sound directly into the ear canal.

Noise induced hearing loss is irreversible and yet it is completely avoidable! Here are a few simple steps you can take to protect your hearing. Wear noise canceling headphones or ear plugs in loud environments. Never turn the volume up past 60%. Limit the time you spend listening to loud music.

Advanced Hearing Group can help with customized ear protection. We can also get you started on a treatment plan if you already experience hearing loss. Your hearing is precious, protect it.

Happy Patients

Hear Well. Live Well.

Will health insurance cover my hearing aids? What about ear wax removal?

Insurance covers many hearing & audiology services

Health insurance companies cover a variety of hearing aids. Since there are often specific requirements, and/or limitations on what or how much is covered, it is important to thoroughly understand what your health plan offers. It is our goal to find the type of hearing aid that is most suitable for your hearing loss. We will also help you understand your treatment options as they relate to your health insurance coverage.

Most insurance typically covers the cost of earwax removal services, with the patient paying only their standard policy deductible. However, the cost of earwax removal is not as expensive as you might think – without going through insurance, the cost of a standard earwax removal is $95.00 for either one ear or two.

We proudly contract with the insurance companies listed below. Our list is constantly growing, so check back often to see if your company is included. Alternatively, you can call us for assistance with your plan’s coverage, or to see if we contract with your insurance.
