Our Services
Loyola
University Health System's (Loyola) Hearing Center offers
an experienced team of physicians and staff, and a full
range of services and progressive therapy to treat neonatal,
pediatric and adult patients suffering from hearing
loss. Our physicians investigate the latest innovative
procedures to offer more effective treatments. Since
technologies for treating hearing loss are advancing
rapidly, Loyola physicians have many more options for
patients beyond the traditional hearing aid.
A
hearing evaluation may be scheduled following examination
by a primary care physician or an ear, nose and throat
specialist (otolaryngologist). Based on the results,
a conventional, programmable or digital hearing aid
or one of the latest implantable hearing aids may be
recommended. Surgical therapy may be an appropriate
approach once all nonsurgical therapies have been exhausted.
The
Hearing Center provides a high level of quality care
by board-certified otolaryngologists, audiologists,
skilled nurses and caring staff. Both the physical and
emotional needs of the patient are addressed.
Office-based options include:
-
Management of the chronic draining ear
- Tympanostomy
with pressure- equalizing tube placement
- Intratympanic
therapy for sudden sensorineural hearing loss
Surgical
options include:
-
Bone-anchored cochlear stimulator (BAHA)
-
Cochlear Implantation
-
Middle ear implants (stapedectomy, ossiculoplasty,
etc)
