I have Meniere’s disease and it has caused the loss of hearing in one ear. When I was diagnosed with Meniere’s was when they checked my hearing. I’ve never had a problem [with my hearing aid]. I was told if I didn’t wear the aid, my hearing would continue to decline, so I’m just happy to have it. Ascent Audiology has a very nice office and staff. Hopefully they’re helping to preserve the hearing in my left ear. If you are considering getting your hearing tested, I would suggest you call ASAP. It’s not painful!
