There are a couple of key professionals in the hearing industry that are associated with improving hearing health. One of those professionals is a hearing instrument specialist (HIS), who plays an important role in hearing healthcare. The HIS is essential when it comes to selecting the right hearing aids for your needs, in addition to the fitting of your new devices. The hearing instrument specialist at Texan Renew Hearing Center is committed to helping you find the right technology to improve your quality of life.
What is a hearing instrument specialist (HIS)?
A HIS is a professional that helps patients with hearing problems. They test for hearing loss and recommend the best hearing aids to improve symptoms. Most hearing instrument specialists focus on finding the best treatment possible for adults with hearing loss.
They know the ins and outs of the latest hearing aids and can be trusted to make great device recommendations. Their knowledge isn’t limited to hearing aid devices; it also extends to amplified telephones, assisted living devices, alarm systems and more. Patients can count on their professional to be up-to-date with the latest technology in the hearing industry, including important upgrade information.
When should someone seek out a HIS?
Any adult that is having issues with their ears should see a hearing specialist. Finding a hearing instrument specialist is important during the early stages of hearing loss. Getting a hearing test will give patients vital health information. Minor complaints about hearing are often ignored until they become much worse. These minor symptoms have the possibility to become long-term if help is delayed. Improved hearing is an option when patients reach out to Texan Renew Hearing Center.
