A Letter From Dr. & Mrs. Brown,

In response to the COVID-19 virus we would like to apologize for the limited/reduced hours for our patients and families, however, we have your overall health as our highest priority.  We will continue to see patients who have emergent needs and require our hearing healthcare services.  Additionally, our staff will continue to work for you, from home, throughout the week when not in the office.  Our phones will be answered Monday through Friday 9:00am-3:30pm.  If by chance, we do not answer, please feel free to leave a message and we will return your call at our earliest opportunity as we may be speaking with another patient or insurance company.  We want you and your family to stay safe during this time.  Unfortunately, our Online Appointment Scheduling will be paused until May 1st, 2020 as we would like to discuss patients concerns prior to making an appointment so we can “Triage” and possibly make adjustments, troubleshoot, or schedule a time for you to come in to eliminate any unnecessary patient-patient contact.

Best Regards,
Matthew & Kathy Brown

Tinnitus

Do you suffer from ringing in the ears, otherwise known as tinnitus?  If so, you are not alone. Recent statistics from the American Tinnitus Association indicates nearly 50 million Americans have this symptom, often to a debilitating degree.

Did you know, hearing aids may help with tinnitus.  An article published by NCBI ("Hearing Aids For The Treatment of Tinnitus")  indicated the use of hearing aids can provide two benefits: It can help make the patient less aware of the ringing in the ears and it can help with communication by reducing the sensation that voices and sounds are masked by the tinnitus.

Recently, Kaw Valley Hearing completed a survey which indicated the symptom patients with hearing loss would like the most assistance with...is relief from their tinnitus (40% of the responses).  This was followed by easier communication in background noise (20%).
