Hearing aids are the most effective way to treat most types of hearing loss. As with most medical technology, hearing aids have advanced significantly in the 21st century. Along with improved signal processing and subtle designs, hearing devices now use digital technology not only to address hearing loss more effectively but also to connect hearing aids to cell phones and tablets, and to improve speech understanding in especially difficult listening situations. The Hearing and Balance Clinic at Cal State LA offers hearing care including diagnosis and treatment and support services to maximize benefit from hearing devices, while providing exceptional education and training for our doctoral students. Our appointments are scheduled generously in terms of time so that your concerns are fully and compassionately addressed, and you can become confident users of hearing technology.
