A number of conditions can cause temporary hearing loss, and each has its own treatment. In most cases, temporary hearing loss is easily treated and has no lasting effects.
Hearing aids come with default settings, but your hearing care provider can also set up custom programs, such as music listening or for driving in a car.
Do you feel like you can hear but not understand words? This may mean you have high-frequency hearing loss--or even something unrelated, like an auditory processing problem.
Dr. Carla Pielmeier earned her doctorate in Audiology and has over 20 years of Audiology experience. She is currently a Major in the Air Force Reserves where she assists airmen in preserving their hearing and preventing noise induced hearing loss. She provides complete hearing care services to patients of all ages.

“My new aids are much more comfortable to wear than the ITC aids I previously was using. At the end of the day, the old ones felt itchy and bothersome - these are great. The doctor knew this when she was fitting me and she was right. Also she was very professional in every aspect of hearing test and explanation of operating functions of aids. ”
