Diagnostic Services

Many patients view a hearing evaluation with the anxiety of getting a root canal. In some ways this is a normalreaction to the fear of hearing loss. Yet, this safe and painless procedure is the important first step in any program of hearing loss prevention or remediation. We offer state of the art hearing assessment in a comfortable reassuring environment. Using our extensive knowledge and experience we use sophisticated equipment to answer the following questions:

Do you have hearing loss?
Which part of the ear is causing the problem?
Do you need referral to other professionals for intervention?
Do you need hearing aids or other assistive devices?
Do you need hearing protection?

We will explain our findings and recommendations to you. We will give you as much time as you need to have all of your questions answered.
Hearing Aid Services

Hearing aid consultation, selection, fitting and training are offered for those needing amplification. Often people come to us without any previous exposure to hearing aids. They’ve seen advertisements and believe it’s like picking out a new television. It is actually more involved. We match your hearing loss, communication environments and personal needs to the most appropriate technology. We have years of experience in this area and try to make your experience simple and pleasant as your various amplification options are presented. Consideration is given to hearing aid size and technology as well as your physical and cognitive needs.

The majority of hearing aids are fit from impressions made of your ears to help ensure the best possible fit. Measurements of hearing aid performance are made after initial adjustments are completed. Refinements are made as appropriate.

Adjusting to new hearing aids is very easy for some individuals but rather challenging for others. We provide individualized post fitting follow up care until we have determined that you are comfortable with all aspects of hearing aids.

Trial Period
In a few cases patients simply cannot adapt to hearing aids. In these instances, they may be exchanged during the 30-day trial period or returned for a full refund.
Hearing Conservation
Consultation for prevention of hearing loss is also available. Noise is the leading cause of hearing loss in our country. If you are exposed to excessive noise from occupational or recreational sources, we can help you protect your hearing to prevent noise damage. A variety of hearing protection devices is available for applications such as power tools, gunfire or music.
