EXPERT Edge: check your hearing and follow your dreams

5/5/2020

 
This month's Expert Edge is brought to you by Dr. Melissa Palmer, Audiologist and Owner of High Point Audiological in Clayton. Founded in 2016, High Point Audiological-Clayton offers a wide range of audiological services. They provide comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and individualized treatment plans including:
  • Complete Audiological Evaluations
  • Hearing Aid Evaluations
  • Hearing aid fittings, maintenance and repair
  • Free hearing aid trial
  • Tinnitus Evaluations & Treatment
  • Auditory Processing Evaluations
  • Custom Ear Protection
  • Hearing conservation programs
  • Custom Ear protection & Ear Monitors
High Point Audiological also educates the community about hearing loss, treatment, and how to protect hearing! They offer lunch and learn events in the community, as well as participate in local health fairs, and enjoy guest speaking for local community organizations/churches.

Dr. Melissa Palmer had this advice for others: "For anyone starting a business, get involved and follow your dreams! Anything is possible!" She adds, "As a health care provider opening a new practice, I was a bit intimidated, as my audiological education offered limited information on how to run a business. As a member of the Clayton Chamber of Commerce, I took advantage of networking, marketing, and educational opportunities for small businesses, which helped me get started and continue to succeed in business! I’ve also enjoyed networking and building friendships through local organizations in the community."

When it comes to protecting your hearing, Dr. Palmer wants to remind other CCOC investors how important this is to your career. She notes, "Difficulty communicating due to a hearing problems can play a big factor in one’s quality of life and can contribute to problems such as fatigue, frustration, depression, anxiety, and social isolation." You may benefit from a full hearing evaluation if the following signs/symptoms are noted:
  • Muffling of speech and other sounds
  • Difficulty understanding words, especially against background noise or in a crowd of people
  • Trouble hearing consonants
  • Frequently asking for repetition
  • Needing to turn up the volume of the television or radio
  • Withdrawal from conversation
  • Avoidance of some social settings
  • Ringing in the ears
Dr. Palmer and High Point Audiological is encouraging you not to wait - get your hearing checked today!
