Why and When to See Brookway Hearing, Your Local Audiologist Near Strongsville, Ohio

At Brookway Hearing Center, we believe hearing is more than just a sense; it’s your connection to conversation, laughter, and life. Located in Strongsville and serving the surrounding communities for over 18 years, our team is dedicated to guiding you every step of the way, from the first subtle change to long-term hearing health.

Here’s when you should consider visiting us (or any qualified audiologist), and how Brookway stands ready to help.

1. You’ve Started Noticing Hearing Changes

Maybe you’re asking people to repeat themselves more often. Perhaps the TV volume creeps higher than before. These can be early signs of hearing loss.

At Brookway Hearing Center, we emphasize a “Brain First” approach, meaning we don’t just test your ears; we assess how hearing affects your brain and your overall wellness. A prompt evaluation helps us catch issues early and tailor a plan just for you.

2. Tinnitus (Ringing, Buzzing, or Hissing in the Ears)

Ringing or buzzing sounds in the ears (tinnitus) can be disruptive and signal underlying hearing or balance issues. If you’ve been wrestling with persistent or distracting sounds, it’s time to see a specialist.

At Brookway, we have advanced consultations and custom plans to manage tinnitus effectively, reducing frustration and improving your comfort.

3. Sudden or Rapid Hearing Loss

An abrupt drop in hearing—over hours or days—is a hearing emergency. Don’t wait.

Our team at Brookway is ready to assess and coordinate care quickly, engaging with medical colleagues if needed to maximize the chance of recovery.

4. Balance Issues, Dizziness, or Unsteadiness

Because the inner ear helps govern both hearing and balance, frequent dizziness, vertigo, or general unsteadiness merits evaluation.

Brookway provides comprehensive hearing & balance services, assessing whether your symptoms require hearing care, vestibular therapy, or further medical work-up.

5. A Feeling of Ear Fullness, Pressure, or “Plugged” Ears

If your ears feel blocked, or you’re constantly clearing your throat/ears, it could be caused by ear-wax buildup, fluid in the middle ear, or other treatable issues.

Our specialists at Brookway can evaluate safely and effectively, avoiding risky home remedies, and get you back to comfortable hearing.

6. You’re Frequently Exposed to Loud Noise

If you work in construction, manufacturing, a loud venue, or attend concerts often, your exposure to noise may be putting your hearing at risk.

Brookway offers regular hearing screening, custom hearing protection, and strategic guidance to prevent long-term damage, even before you notice symptoms.

7. You’re Considering Hearing Aids or Technology Upgrades

Modern hearing aids are incredibly sophisticated, miniaturized, smart-connected, and adaptive to your environment. But the key is fitting them properly.

Brookway stands out for offering not only advanced technology, but a deeply personal process: one-on-one evaluations, custom fittings, ongoing support, and a philosophy where you’re not “just a patient” but a partner in your hearing journey.

8. You Have a Child with Possible Hearing or Speech Delays

Hearing plays a big role in how children learn to speak, engage, and succeed in school. If you notice your child is having trouble:

  • Not responding to their name
  • Struggling to follow directions
  • Repeated ear infections
  • Speech or language development delays

Make an appointment. Brookway has experience working with families and children, helping ensure early detection and intervention.
