Hearing Tests
Our diagnostic hearing assessments use advanced technology to measure hearing thresholds across frequencies. Trained audiologists conduct pure tone testing, speech recognition tests, and tympanometry to create detailed audiograms. This data-driven approach identifies hearing loss type and severity while informing personalized treatment plans.
Hearing Aids
We offer comprehensive hearing aid solutions from selection to fitting and maintenance. Our process includes technology matching based on lifestyle needs, custom programming using prescription data, and follow-up adjustments. Patients receive training on device care and benefit from ongoing support services like cleaning and repairs.
Tinnitus Treatment
Our evidence-based tinnitus programs combine sound therapy with hearing aid technology. Audiologists develop customized treatment plans addressing both auditory and psychological aspects. Services include counseling on coping strategies and device-based solutions to reduce symptom impact on daily life.
Earwax Removal
We utilize the Earigator system for safe, effective earwax removal. This temperature-controlled irrigation method safely clears impacted cerumen while protecting ear canal integrity. The procedure follows strict contraindication protocols to ensure patient safety during wax removal treatments.
Pediatric Audiology
Specialized diagnostic services for infants and children include visual reinforcement audiometry and play audiometry techniques. Our team holds Ministry of Health certifications for infant hearing program assessments, ensuring early detection and intervention for developmental hearing concerns.
