The ear is a versatile instrument, picking up everything from the soft buzzing of a bee’s wings to the jarring blare of a car’s horn. Every time we hear these sounds, we’re “hearing” vibrations.
First, a sound enters the outer ear and hits the eardrum, causing vibrations. From there, the vibrations travel through to the middle ear and then into the inner ear, where they are translated into electrical signals and taken to the brain through the auditory nerve to be processed as sound.
Our ability to hear can diminish for a variety of reasons, but the two most common are excessive noise exposure and the natural aging process.
Jennifer Henson offers thorough evaluations, comprehensive counseling, and effective treatment plans that fit each patient’s individual lifestyle.
