Hearing Loss in Pakistan: Types, Symptoms, Causes & Treatment

Effective treatment begins with a precise diagnosis. We offer hearing tests at RCHI, like pure tone audiometry (PTA), tympanometry, otoacoustic emissions (OAE), auditory steady-state response (ASSR), and electric response audiometry (ERA). These tests enable our audiologists to determine the kind and degree of hearing loss, therefore directing your treatment approach. The kind, degree, and cause of your hearing loss will all affect the optimal course of treatment. At RCHI, we offer a wide range of personalized solutions for treating hearing loss in Pakistan. Common options include

• Earwax Removal: Our expert safely removes blockages caused by too much earwax.

• Hearing Aids: They amplify sounds, improve clarity, and provide the most suitable solutions for different types of hearing loss.

• Medical or Surgical Interventions: Infections or structural issues may require medical or surgical intervention.

• Cochlear Implants: In some cases, cochlear implants can restore hearing by directly stimulating the auditory nerve.

• Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs): Devices like amplified telephones, TV listening systems, and FM systems are useful in difficult listening conditions.

• Speech Therapy: We offer speech therapy to children and adults with hearing loss to help them improve their communication skills and confidence.
• Lifestyle & Preventive Measures: Protecting ears in noisy spaces, not inserting items inside ears, and managing chronic illnesses like diabetes, which can impact hearing.
