Meet Jusha the Therapy Dog at Doctors Hearing Care
Jusha - Jusha is a 9-year old female Golden Retriever-Lab mix that was rescued from the Oldham County/Animal Control shelter and is a certified therapy dog. She has lived with Courtney and her family since July 1999, providing great companionship for their two rowdy boys and countless nieces, nephews and neighbors. Feeling that her people-friendly demeanor was being wasted at home, Courtney contacted Paws With Purpose in Louisville,
KY to have Jusha complete the training program to be a therapy dog. Jusha and Courtney completed their certification requirements in February 2007 and are now a certified, insured therapy dog team. Speech therapists, as well as other therapists, nationwide have been using therapy dogs to add another dimension to their therapy sessions. For some children, giving Jusha commands allows for more language practice, while other children are more willing to participate in repetitive sound drills if Jusha is listening. Others are simply calmer and more receptive to therapy-activities with her in the room. And the staff seems to enjoy having her around, too! Being outgoing by nature, though, Jusha also feels her other job at Doctors Hearing Care is to greet all visitors to the office, regardless of whether they are a therapy client or not. A pat on the head ~or a quick shoo is enough to let her know whether her greeting should be long or brief.
Audiology is a profession devoted to assessment and treatment of hearing loss. The goal of treatment is always better communication through better hearing. Often this includes the use of assitive technology in the form of hearing aids. However, hearing aids are only a small part of the treatment plan. The audiologist is the only professional who is specially trained on hearing aid technology, as well as incorporating hearing aid use into daily life to achieve the ultimate goal of better communication.
Hearing Tests for Babies and Children:
Approximately one to three babies out of 1000 are born with permanent hearing loss. Fortunately, children are never too young for a hearing test. It is important to have a baby's hearing tested within the first few days of life. In Indiana, newborn hearing screenings are performed prior to a baby leaving the hospital.
Beyond newborn screening, children need to be tested if they seem to be having trouble hearing, or if they are not developing speech and language skills as expected. If after testing a hearing loss is confirmed, a hearing aid may be used to help the child hear.

Doctors Hearing Care, L.L.C. Reviews
Here is what people are saying about Doctors Hearing Care, L.L.C.:
I never thought hearing aids worked. I know several people who have them that can not hear any better with them than without. When my daughter told me a good friend of mine from childhood went to Doctors Hearing Care and was extremely pleased I thought I would at least go see what it was about. I am 87 years old and have had my hearing aids 3 months. It is a miracle how well I can hear. I can even hear the soft voice of my new great granddaughter. I would highly recommend Doctors Hearing Care to anyone who is afraid that hearing aids won't work for them. I have to admit, I wish I had gone to see the doctors there a couple of years ago when my family first started telling me that I should have my ears checked. Doctors Hearing Care has been a blessing to me and my family. Everyone there is very, very nice.
