San Juan Capistrano, CA

Hearing loss is known to increase your risk of cognitive decline and the development of early dementia. Even mild hearing loss places you at a greater risk by as much as 200%, but the severity of hearing loss increases it by degrees up to 500%.

A comprehensive hearing assessment is the beginning point of identifying and developing a hearing care plan that makes use of today’s leading treatment options to both restore your hearing and slow down or prevent the development of dementia.

Hearing loss in only one ear can come from conditions such as earwax, an ear infection, a perforated eardrum, Ménière’s disease, fluid in the ear (glue ear), a bony growth (otosclerosis), or a buildup of skin cells (cholesteatoma). These conditions typically contribute to conductive hearing loss, which does not require the use of hearing aids to correct it.

Increasing the volume of the sounds that reach your ears is only one aspect of how modern hearing aid technology addresses your hearing loss. The performance of modern hearing aids has the capacity to enhance voice and sound clarity as well as provide you with the ability to link them to your smartphone, television, computer, or other digital devices.

Cochlear implants often provide a more advanced solution to individuals with severe hearing and communication challenges and are among the advanced technology tools available to you through Mission Audiology.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so we also provide custom hearing protection for riders, rockers, shooters, and anyone else who is at risk of developing a noise-induced hearing loss.

Rather than a disease, tinnitus is a neurological condition distinguished by persistent ringing, whistling, hissing, buzzing, or pulsing sounds produced in your brain, which reduce your ability to focus and threaten to decrease your quality of life.
