What help is there for people with hearing loss?

Later this year, you can expect to see hearing aids that can be purchased in stores without consulting a doctor. This is one of the latest changes in what is available for people experiencing hearing loss. In addition, custom-made hearing aids now include Bluetooth technology, which allows them to connect with a smartphone and other devices. On today’s program we will talk to an audiologist and an ear, nose and throat doctor about what causes hearing loss and what treatments are available.

Guests:

Carly M. Kempton, Au.D., CCC-A
Doctor of Audiology, Clinical Quality Liaison, M Health Fairview

Dr. Meredith Adams is an Otolaryngologist and an associate professor at the University of Minnesota Medical School.
