HELPING A LOVED ONE WITH HEARING LOSS

When your loved one is having trouble understanding speech, has difficulty hearing conversations in a loud environment, is turning the TV or radio up to extreme levels, or is withdrawing from social situations, they could be experiencing hearing loss. Hearing loss affects the person experiencing it and puts pressure on family and friends, and strain on relationships is inevitable. If you have a loved one who doesn’t know they have hearing loss or seems hesitant to find treatment, it is essential to provide them with the support they need.

At Integrated Family Hearing, our audiologist can help you and your family work through the process, ensuring your loved one gets the hearing loss treatment they need. Give us a call today to schedule a hearing evaluation. We proudly serve individuals and families in Jamestown, NY; Gowanda, NY; Bradford, PA; Coudersport, PA; and the surrounding areas.
