#1 Choice for Hearing Aids
Personalized Hearing Care
At Ashland Audiology, evidence-based best practices are used to ensure that all of our patients are treated with cutting-edge services in hearing care.
A physical examination is part of every hearing test we perform at Ashland Audiology. If your hearing loss requires medical attention, a referral will be made for treatment with your primary care doctor or an ENT (ear, nose and throat specialist). We work closely with the medical community to make sure that all medically-related hearing loss is correctly diagnosed and appropriately treated.
Regular hearing tests are an important part of maintaining our overall health and well-being. It’s recommended to get a hearing test once every decade until the age of 50, and once every three years thereafter. Those in higher-risk professions or with medical histories indicating a higher risk should be tested even more frequently. If you’re due for a hearing test, make an appointment with us today! We’ll talk with you about any concerns you may have, and how best to protect your hearing going forward.
We work with a variety of hearing aid manufacturers including ReSound and Phonak. We also focus on the prevention of hearing loss through annual industrial hearing testing for local workers who are exposed to hazardous noise levels and, and offer a wide range of hearing protection for different activities.

How Loud Is Too Loud?
Even 85 dBA (decibels A-weighted) can cause permanent hearing loss after about eight hours of exposure. 85 dBA is about the level of a lawnmower engine. For every three additional dBA of sound, the safe time of exposure is cut in half. That means by the time sound reaches 100 dBA (about the level experienced while riding a motorcycle), only 15 minutes of exposure can cause permanent NIHL.
Most of us need to protect our hearing from time to time, but those who frequently encounter louder sounds can really benefit from custom earplugs. Custom earplugs reduce the sound of all frequencies just about equally, meaning that everything sounds the same as it does without the earplugs in, only quieter. Musicians especially will appreciate this, but they are also very comfortable to wear for long periods for anyone who needs regular hearing protection.
