EARS
Our ears are the gateway to speech, music, and the sounds of nature, but they also bring damaging noise into our lives and can cause us pain and problems. Hearing loss increases with age and is caused from everyday things like lawn mowers, road construction, and even loud TV or radio broadcasts — all as the various parts of the ear become less responsive.
The research at the government-funded National Institutes of Health and other public-private and university programs is constantly yielding new insight into these age-old problems. New technology and tools are also always in development. Our commitment to you is to keep you in the know about the latest developments in all ear-related health areas.
Once you feel you’ve learned what you can here, our specialists would love to meet with you and discuss your unique symptoms. We’ve made it as easy as clicking on one of the options to the right, and you’ll be starting on the road to better health and happiness.
Ear Infections
An ear infection is never something we want to deal with. However, it’s important to recognize the symptoms of this common condition and the available treatment options.
Swimmer's Ear
Swimmer's Ear or otitis externa is an infection of the outer ear canal that runs from the eardrum to the outside of the head. It's often caused by water remaining in the ear after swimming.
Ear Tubes
Ear tubes are tiny cylinders that are surgically inserted into the eardrum. An ear tube creates an airway that ventilates the middle ear and prevents the accumulation of fluids behind the eardrum.
Bone Anchored Hearing Aid
The Bone Anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA) is a surgically implanted device designed to help people with hearing loss. BAHA stimulates the cochlea by transmitting the sound waves through the bones in our skull.
