The majority of adults with hearing problems can be fully and most appropriately served by an audiologist. Hearing loss in adults is generally not a medical condition - meaning that in the majority of cases, medical or surgical treatment will not provide relief to patients. Published studies conducted at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, the Dept. of Veterans Affairs and Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit have confirmed that approximately 80% of adult patients with hearing problems cannot benefit from medical or surgical treatment, but can be helped with hearing aids.

•	More automation: the more advanced hearing instruments allow us to have greater flexibility and an increased ability to tell the hearing instrument what to do in various environments. This helps you to hear better in your environments.
