Does your patient need an audiologist? More than an estimated 15% of adult Pennsylvanians have hearing loss, and only a fraction receive needed help for this chronic condition. We’re your partner in delivering the highest levels of hearing health care and welcome your patient referrals.
At HearWell Center, we’re dedicated to helping our community live better through healthier hearing. As Pittsburgh’s trusted hearing care experts for over 15 years, we take a patient-centered approach with skilled providers, cutting-edge technology, and comprehensive services.
Untreated hearing loss not only affects communication but is also linked to other serious health issues such as dementia, depression, balance problems, heart disease, and more, undergirding the importance of regular checkups and intervention for an improved quality of life.
Here are seven signs to refer your patient to us for professional hearing care:
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
- Trouble understanding speech
- Decreased social engagement
- Difficulty listening in crowds or noisy spaces
- History of falls or trouble maintaining balance
- Problems with TV volume or phone conversations
- Dementia diagnosis or other cognitive issue
Age and excess noise are well-known risk factors for hearing loss, but other contributors can include family history, ototoxic medications, smoking, head injury, and more. Keeping an eye out for risk factors and key comorbidities can help identify patients who would benefit from referral.
What can you expect when referring patients to us? Complete testing and diagnostics, diverse treatment options carefully matched to your patient’s needs, and timely comprehensive written reports with findings. Don’t wait. Please call (412) 208-4451 to refer a patient today!
