Services
Hearing Tests
Our comprehensive hearing assessments identify hearing loss type and severity through advanced diagnostic procedures. Using pure-tone and speech testing, we determine auditory thresholds and speech recognition capabilities. These evaluations help create personalized treatment plans, including hearing aid recommendations when appropriate. Our audiologist employs both air and bone conduction testing to differentiate between conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.
Hearing Aids
We offer a complete range of hearing aid solutions from leading manufacturers, including custom fittings and ongoing maintenance. Our process includes device selection based on individual hearing profiles, lifestyle needs, and budget considerations. We provide programming, adjustments, and repair services to ensure optimal performance throughout the device lifecycle. Our inventory includes various styles from discreet in-the-ear models to powerful behind-the-ear options.
Auditory Processing Evaluation
Specialized assessments identify auditory processing disorders through comprehensive diagnostic protocols. This testing evaluates how the brain processes auditory information, particularly in challenging listening environments. We conduct these evaluations for patients aged eight and older after ruling out other potential causes. Results guide development of targeted intervention strategies to improve auditory processing capabilities in educational and professional settings.
Earwax Removal
Professional earwax removal services address impacted cerumen using safe, effective techniques. Our audiologists employ irrigation and microsuction methods to clear blockages causing hearing impairment or discomfort. We assess each case individually to determine the most appropriate removal approach while ensuring patient safety. Follow-up care includes prevention strategies to minimize future impaction risks.
Tinnitus Treatment
Customized tinnitus management programs address persistent ringing or buzzing in the ears. Our approach combines sound therapy, counseling, and hearing aid integration when co-occurring hearing loss exists. We develop personalized coping strategies to reduce symptom impact on daily life. Treatment plans consider underlying causes and individual symptom severity for comprehensive symptom management.
