Hearing Loss & Hearing Aids

Expert ENT and Audiology Care in Baytown and Greater Houston

Hearing Loss & Hearing Aids

Hearing is one of the most vital connections we have to the world around us—helping us stay safe, connected, and fully engaged with the people and environments we care about. At the office of Dr. Denis K. Hoasjoe, MD, we understand how hearing loss can quietly but deeply impact your quality of life. That’s why we offer comprehensive audiology services, hearing aid fitting and repair, and tinnitus treatment from our trusted ENT clinic based in Baytown, Texas.

Since 1997, Dr. Hoasjoe has proudly served individuals and families from across Baytown, Houston, Pasadena, La Porte, Deer Park, Channelview, Pearland, Friendswood, League City, Kingwood, Humble, The Woodlands, Spring, Cypress, Sugar Land, Katy, Missouri City, and Conroe. Whether you’re noticing signs of gradual hearing loss or dealing with the constant discomfort of ringing in your ears, we provide the compassionate, advanced care you deserve.

Identifying Hearing Loss Early

Hearing loss can come on gradually, making it hard to recognize until it starts interfering with daily life. Many of our patients from Houston’s suburban communities—like Cypress, Katy, and Friendswood—describe missing parts of conversations, frequently asking others to repeat themselves, or increasing the volume on their TV or phone. Others say they feel withdrawn from family gatherings or social events due to the anxiety of not being able to hear clearly.

Dr. Hoasjoe offers in-depth audiology evaluations for both adults and children. These evaluations go beyond basic hearing screenings to assess the full scope of auditory function, including speech understanding, high-frequency hearing, and middle ear performance. This approach allows us to diagnose not just the degree of hearing loss, but also its possible underlying cause—whether it's age-related (presbycusis), noise-induced, or tied to chronic ear infections, which are especially common in children in humid Houston-area climates.

Advanced Hearing Aid Solutions

When hearing loss becomes significant enough to interfere with daily life, hearing aids often provide the most immediate and effective relief. However, hearing aids are not one-size-fits-all devices. At our Baytown clinic, Dr. Hoasjoe works closely with each patient to select the right type of hearing aid based on lifestyle, budget, severity of hearing loss, and cosmetic preferences.

Our clinic offers a wide variety of digital hearing aid styles—from discreet in-the-ear (ITE) models to powerful behind-the-ear (BTE) options. We provide custom fittings to ensure a secure, comfortable fit and optimal sound clarity. Patients from League City, Clear Lake, and Sugar Land often note how easy it is to visit our clinic for adjustments and maintenance, thanks to our accessible Baytown location and flexible appointment scheduling.

What sets our clinic apart is the level of care given after your initial fitting. We not only help patients select the right devices but also offer ongoing fine-tuning, cleaning, and repairs to ensure long-term performance. Hearing aids are exposed to moisture, heat, earwax, and everyday wear-and-tear—especially in the Texas climate—and even the best models may need occasional servicing. Our team is equipped to handle nearly all in-office repairs and adjustments, saving you time and money.

Tinnitus Treatment and Support

Tinnitus—the persistent ringing, buzzing, or humming in the ears—is a common and frustrating condition that affects many of our patients from Conroe, Spring, and Missouri City. Though often associated with hearing loss, tinnitus can also result from noise exposure, head injuries, or ear infections. Some individuals experience mild symptoms, while others find their daily lives significantly disrupted.

At Dr. Hoasjoe’s ENT clinic, we offer evidence-based tinnitus evaluations and management plans. The first step is determining the root cause of the condition through a combination of hearing tests and a thorough medical history. For many patients, managing the underlying hearing loss with hearing aids dramatically reduces tinnitus intensity. In other cases, we may recommend sound therapy, stress-reduction strategies, or ear-level devices designed to mask or neutralize the ringing sound.

Dr. Hoasjoe takes a compassionate approach to tinnitus care. We understand the emotional toll it can take—disrupting sleep, increasing anxiety, and affecting concentration—and we provide both medical insight and ongoing support.

Comprehensive ENT-Audiology Integration

What makes our clinic unique is that hearing care is never treated in isolation. Because Dr. Hoasjoe is a board-certified otolaryngologist, he offers medical insight into the structural and physiological causes of hearing problems—something that chain hearing aid retailers often overlook.

For example, patients from Humble, Pasadena, and Deer Park frequently visit our clinic for symptoms that turn out to be linked to treatable ENT issues like ear infections, eustachian tube dysfunction, or even benign growths in the ear canal or middle ear. In many cases, hearing loss can be improved or resolved with medication or surgery—eliminating the need for hearing aids altogether.

When hearing aids are appropriate, our ENT-audiology model ensures you receive complete, coordinated care—covering medical diagnosis, device selection, and long-term hearing health.

Hearing Health for All Ages

Hearing loss doesn’t just affect older adults. We routinely see children, teens, and young adults from Pearland, Clear Lake, and Cypress dealing with congenital hearing issues, recurring ear infections, or damage from prolonged headphone use. Dr. Hoasjoe tailors his approach to the specific needs of each age group—making the evaluation process comfortable, thorough, and free of stress.

For older adults from The Woodlands, Kingwood, and Baytown, we focus on communication strategies that enhance not only hearing but confidence and quality of life. This includes family counseling, training on hearing aid usage, and advice on navigating group conversations, phone calls, and public spaces.
