Hearing screenings in Hawaii

Hearing loss can affect you at any stage in your life, from early infancy to later adulthood. Since hearing loss develops gradually, you might not know you have a condition until the damage has become quite severe. Consequently, you'll need regular screenings to ensure your hearing hasn't suffered.

This increase occurs because your inner ear and its natural blood flow change over time, and the deterioration of the tiny hairs in your ear alters the way your brain processes sound.
