Professionally-qualified care is the best hearing aid of all.
Not all hearing care is alike. ADVENT Hearing offers you the dedicated resources of a specialized hearing "institute," where uniquely-qualified professionals and exclusive technology come together. At the heart of it is Gwen Kandula, one of the area's only Doctors of Audiology. Board-certified in her specialty, Dr. Kandula provides the highest level of hearing care available. This is important, because hearing problems can result from vastly different causes, such as allergies or infections, the effects of aging, or overexposure to loud noises. A Doctor of Audiology is specially skilled in diagnosing the many kinds of hearing disorders, and prescribing the correct treatments.
Simulation technology makes it real.
ADVENT is the only hearing center in southeastern Wisconsin equipped with state-of-the-art technology to develop personalized solutions to hearing problems. Our hearing loss simulator helps partners of individuals with hearing difficulties experience what it's like. And our virtual reality room can simulate a variety of different environments to fine-tune a hearing for real-world conditions.
Better hearing begins with better lisnteing.
What is the nature of your hearing problem? Do any of these symptoms or situations sound familiar?
- Difficulty understanding or comprehending what is being said.
- Turning up the volume on TV to ever-higher levels.
- Discomfort in meetings or social settings where many people are speaking.
- Being told by a loved one that you're not listening.
- A feeling that you're missing important parts of conversations.
- A tendency to avoid social situations that you used to like.
- Concern for the future of your career.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you can likely benefit from a thorough hearing evaluation. ADVENT begins by listening to you?understanding your hearing problem and how it is affecting your relationships, work, and enjoyment of life. We also discuss your goals for treatment and what is most important for you to hear.
Hearing loss simulator: Overcoming the isolation.
A hearing problem can not only distance you from sounds, but from people as well. When important information or emotions go unheard, relationships can suffer, especially if the depth of the hearing impairment isn't understood. Our hearing loss simulator helps partners experience firsthand what their mate is missing. It can be programmed to match the characteristics of the individual's hearing impairment. For many couples it provides a breakthrough experience, leading to improved sharing and empathy.
The digital era of hearing aids.
When a hearing aid is appropriate, ADVENT offers you a highly personalized solution. Today's digital hearing aids are miniature wonders that can be fine-tuned to meet an individual's specific needs. Our state-of-the-art testing will determine just which frequencies need amplification. With consideration for your lifestyle, we can then prescribe the best aid. As an independent practice, ADVENT has no ties to hearing aid manufacturers and thus can offer you the most objective, trustworthy advice.
Virtual reality room: A reality check.
How will your hearing aid work in the everyday world?at a family gathering, in a noisy restaurant, at the movie theater? The virtual reality room at ADVENT can give you a crucial preview. The plasma screen and surround sound system can be programmed to simulate numerous environments where you can check the effectiveness of your hearing aid. It can assure that you've chosen the right aid, and also help the professionals at ADVENT fine-tune it for real-world conditions. Normally, this can be a lengthy process of trial and error. The virtual reality room at ADVENT, however, can considerably shorten this fine-tuning phase so you're comfortable with your aid much sooner.
Follow-up care makes the difference.
The fitting of a hearing aid is only the first step in achieving your ultimate satisfaction. Follow-up care is critical to using a hearing aid successfully. In the weeks and months after the fitting of a hearing aid, we check on your experience with it and make any adjustments as needed. Most of the advanced digital aids we prescribe can be optimized for the user. Small calibrations can make a big difference in your happiness with a hearing aid, and ADVENT is dedicated to following through with you. All of this care is included as part of our services.
Hearing should last a lifetime. At ADVENT, we strive to build long-term relationships with patients to help them keep hearing a healthy, vital sense. |
