“When is a hearing aid recommended for patient?”

As soon as a hearing loss is identified. Even a mild hearing loss has detrimental impacts on the brain.    Angela R. Sieh Ceretto, M.A., CCC-A, FAAA Audiologist Pinnacle Audiology, LLC 6809 S. Minnesota Ave., Suite 101 605-306-4481  

It’s a good time to see an Audiologist when you start to notice your symptoms. Symptoms might include having difficulty understanding the clarity of speech, especially in crowded environments. You may also hear ringing in your ears or muffled noises. Or you might recognize yourself occasionally turning up the volume when you listen to something, having trouble understanding what people are saying in noisy environments, and even reading lips from time to time.

Early treatment is best. It’s best to consult an Audiologist in person for this matter, which you can find one through the American Audiology Association (
