Hearing Tests
At Fifth Avenue Hearing, we provide hearing tests to check how well you hear and find any problems. Our audiologists utilize special tools to make sure the tests are accurate. During the test, we check how well you hear different sounds and speech. This helps us understand the type and level of hearing loss you might have. With this information, we can create a plan just for you, which may include hearing aids, ways to protect your hearing, or other treatments to help you hear better.
Which hearing test is the best?
Hearing tests done by an audiologist are the most accurate.
Can I test my own hearing?
You can, but tests at home or online are not as accurate as tests done by an audiologist.
Are online hearing tests any good?
They can give you an idea, but they are not as complete as a professional hearing test.
Tinnitus Evaluation
At Fifth Avenue Hearing, we help find out what’s causing the ringing, buzzing, or hissing sounds in your ears, which is called tinnitus. These noises, sometimes called “phantom sounds,” can be loud or soft and might make daily life harder.
Tinnitus is not curable but it is treatable. We create a plan just for you to help manage tinnitus to reduce it’s impact on your life. This might include sound therapy, hearing aids with special features to mask the noise, counseling, or simple changes to your daily routine to avoid triggers.
Should I go to an audiologist for tinnitus?
Yes. Our NYC audiologists at Fifth Avenue Hearing can find the cause and recommend ways to help.
Is tinnitus a brain problem?
Tinnitus often involves both your ears and your brain.
What happens if tinnitus is not treated?
It can get worse and may cause stress or make it hard to focus.
Ear Wax Removal
Too much ear wax can cause discomfort, muffled hearing, itching, or even infections. Trying to remove it at home can be unsafe and might push the wax deeper or hurt your ear. At Fifth Avenue Hearing, our trained audiologists use special tools and gentle suction to remove ear wax safely and without pain.
What is the best way to remove ear wax?
Seeing an audiologist for professional ear wax removal is the safest and most effective way.
Do ear candles work?
No, ear candles are not safe or effective. It’s better to have an audiologist remove the wax for you.
What does dark brown ear wax mean?
Dark brown wax is normal and usually just older wax. If you have itching or discomfort, visit an audiologist to have it checked.
Sensorineural Hearing Loss Treatment
Sensorineural hearing loss occurs when the inner ear or auditory nerve is damaged, often leading to permanent hearing loss. While it cannot be reversed, our team at Fifth Avenue Hearing provides effective treatments to help you hear better and prevent further damage. Hearing aids are the most common solution, amplifying sound to improve hearing clarity. For severe cases, cochlear implants may be an option to stimulate the auditory nerve directly.
Can sensorineural hearing loss be corrected?
While the damage cannot be reversed, devices like hearing aids or cochlear implants can help manage the condition and improve hearing.
Will sensorineural hearing loss get worse over time?
It can progress if left unmanaged, but proper care and early treatment can help slow it down.
How do you prevent further sensorineural hearing loss?
Protect your ears from loud sounds, avoid ototoxic medications if possible, and schedule regular hearing evaluations.
Meniere’s Disease Treatment
Meniere’s disease is a chronic inner ear condition that causes episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus, and ear pressure. Fifth Avenue Hearing provides personalized treatments to help manage these symptoms.
What is the best treatment for Meniere's disease?
A combination of medications, dietary changes, and balance therapy works well for many patients.
What triggers Meniere's attacks?
Common triggers include high-sodium diets, caffeine, alcohol, stress, and fatigue. Managing these factors can help reduce symptoms.
What test confirms Meniere's disease?
Hearing tests, balance assessments, and imaging like an MRI or CT scan are typically used to diagnose Meniere’s disease.
