Hearing loss is the third most common chronic health condition among older adults in the US. Living with untreated hearing loss increases the risk of many negative effects such as depression, cognitive decline, and social isolation. Signs of hearing loss are: difficulty understanding speech, frequently asking for repetition, increasing volume of TV or phone, and feeling fatigued after listening. Early detection and treatment of hearing loss is important for overall health. At Jacksonville Speech & Hearing Center, we provide comprehensive hearing evaluations to diagnose hearing loss.

Hearing aids are electronic devices designed to improve hearing by amplifying sound. They consist of a microphone, amplifier, and speaker, and are worn in or behind the ear. The use of hearing aids can enhance the ability to hear sounds and speech, especially in noisy environments, they can reduce social isolation, depression, and the risk of dementia and falls, and can allow users to engage more actively in daily activities. Prescription hearing aids are tailored to individual needs, considering factors like the degree of hearing loss, ear anatomy, and personal preferences. They offer various styles, features, and sound processing options to ensure optimal comfort and performance. At Jacksonville Speech and Hearing Center, we provide fully customizable prescription hearing aids. Oftentimes, insurance will cover some or all of the cost of hearing aids. Our audiologists and billing specialists are highly experienced with fully utilizing insurance benefits.

By age 18, nearly 1 in 5 children experience hearing loss. Without rehabilitation, this can negatively impact their speech, language, development, education, and cognitive abilities. Our audiologists employ various child-friendly hearing tests tailored to the child's age. Early identification of hearing loss in children is vitally important to ensure they do not miss out on important learning opportunities that come with hearing.
Tinnitus
Tinnitus, the medical term for ringing in the ears, affects about 15% of people. Severe tinnitus can disrupt concentration and sleep, leading to frustration and depression over time. It results from underlying causes such as hearing loss, ear injury, or certain medications. While there is no cure, tinnitus retraining therapy can significantly reduce how noticeable or bothersome the condition is. Our audiologists are highly experienced in managing tinnitus.
Dr. Fenja Mattson is one of our audiologists at Jacksonville Speech & Hearing Center. She is trained in Tinnitus Retraining Therapy and has over 20 years of experience managing severe tinnitus and hyperacusis. Dr. Mattson enjoys advocating for her patients and states, "To me, it's about helping them get their life back on track. There is nothing greater than giving back to someone who needs the same help. Having the right support makes all the difference." In addition, Dr. Mattson is also a peer mentor with the Wounded Warrior Project, working with veterans who have suffered acoustic trauma.
Sergeant Gurgen Petrosyan of the U.S. Army Reserve has received treatment at JSHC for tinnitus and hyperacusis. He saw several other audiologists and ENTs in Duval County before coming to JSHC. He recommends JSHC to fellow veterans and says of Dr. Mattson, "She doesn't only have professional experience but a personal one since her husband is a combat vet. I am truly blessed to be here and have her as an audiologist who can understand what I am going through."
