One of our biggest frustrations as doctors of audiology is we all regularly have our teeth checked by our dentist, our blood pressure tested by our physician and our eyes tested by our optometrist – yet rarely do any of us have our hearing regularly tested.
But with hearing loss affecting 1 in 8 Americans, it should be a staple part of your health checks.
Unfortunately, many of us decide to have our hearing tested when it’s too late, which means we spend a lot of our time caring for patients with substantial hearing loss, whereas if they visited us upon their first signs of hearing loss, we could have helped them to prolong their hearing for many years.
At Holland Hearing, we have a duty to care for the hearing health of the great people of Abilene by educating and supporting them to regularly have their hearing tested.
If you believe you’re experiencing the initial signs of hearing loss or you believe a friend or loved one may be struggling, then we highly encourage you to schedule a comprehensive hearing assessment.

The combination of these tests help the audiologist to determine the nature and degree of the patient’s hearing loss. This gives the Doctor valuable tools in offering the most appropriate solution for the patient’s hearing loss.
