Are you experiencing hearing loss?
Reports show that 28 million people in the United States can benefit from wearing a hearing aid. At Bayshore Hearing Center, we offer comprehensive services to help determine the extent of your hearing loss and select the right hearing aid or medical treatment for your needs. We also provide necessary maintenance and service to keep your hearing aid in excellent working condition.

What causes hearing loss?
Hearing loss can be caused by a number of varying factors including:

• Exposure to loud or constant noise
• Illness
• Inherited medical conditions
• Traumatic injury
• Natural aging process
• Ototoxic medications (such as aspirin)
• Tumors

Are you over 50?
You should have a hearing test once a year! The only way to determine your degree of
hearing loss is through testing. Hearing testing is safe, easy and painless.

Insurance information for hearing testing
We participate with most insurance carriers.
You will need a prescription from your physician for all of our procedures. As always, check with your physician's office and insurance company for pretesting requirements such as pre-certifications or referrals as they may take time to prepare prior to your appointment. Be sure to bring your insurance card with you to ensure your test can be performed the day of your visit.
