Solving hearing loss.

Dr. Jameson Mattingly, an ENT specializing in otology, joins the podcast to talk through the types, causes, and treatments for hearing loss.

Stay Healthy Knoxville Podcast February 20, 2023

Hearing loss is common, frustrating, and often more complicated than people expect. Roughly 15% of American adults over 18 report some trouble hearing, and disabling hearing loss affects about 8.5% of adults aged 55–64, 25% of those aged 65–74, and half of those 75 and older.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jameson Mattingly of ENT Consultants of East Tennessee, who specializes in otology, neurotology, and all levels of hearing loss complexity. We discuss:

  • The different types of hearing loss
  • The consequences of untreated hearing loss
  • Treatments available to correct and improve hearing
  • When hearing aids should be prescribed
  • What a cochlear implant is, and when it helps

If you or someone you know is affected by hearing loss, this episode is worth a listen.

Thanks for listening, and stay healthy, Knoxville.
