Hearing Tests
Hearing tests allow us to evaluate your hearing health. Different tests are performed to identify any hearing loss, the type, and the degree of impairment in each ear. This involves using painless and noninvasive processes that measure your hearing capacities. A common test that is used involves having you listen (via headphones) to sounds played at different volumes. You will be asked to indicate what you can hear and this measures the softest sounds you can hear - identifying your hearing threshold. Once we establish the specifics of your hearing loss, we can develop a treatment to meet your hearing needs.

Hearing Aid Fittings
Based on the results of your hearing evaluation, we will recommend hearing aid options that are best for your hearing needs. During your hearing aid fitting, you will receive your hearing aids and we will ensure that your device is both comfortable and performing optimally. We do this by checking the fit and adjusting the earpiece and tubing if needed as well as programming your device to properly amplify the sounds that are more challenging for you to hear. Our experts will run tests to evaluate how well your hearing aids are meeting your needs and adjust accordingly. During the hearing aid fitting, you will also learn everything about your device including how to best take care of them and use any of the features it comes with. We want you to get the most out of your hearing aids and take the time to make sure you are comfortable with them.

Hearing Aid Repair
After you become familiar with your hearing aids, you will likely notice if they aren’t working the way they should. Though hearing aids are durable devices, they are subjected to daily wear and tear. So they may need repair work or professional servicing over time. Our practice provides in-house hearing aid repairs and for more serious issues, we can send your device to the manufacturer. If you notice any issues with your hearing aids, we encourage you to bring your device in so we can evaluate it. Hearing aids can accumulate substances like earwax or moisture which we have specific training and tools to thoroughly and carefully remove as well as clean. Your hearing aids may also need occasional adjusting or reprogramming if your hearing needs shift over time.

Custom Hearing Protection
Custom hearing protection is one of the best ways to protect your hearing health. Loud noise exposure is a common cause of hearing loss, it can also exacerbate existing hearing loss and symptoms. We are exposed to varying levels of noise in everyday life and some of this noise can be hazardous for hearing health. Loud noise can damage sensory cells in the inner ear which are crucial to processing sound waves. Custom hearing protection provides maximum protection by offering a tailor-made barrier, reducing the amount of noise that is absorbed. Options include earmolds and earplugs which are custom-made to fit you perfectly and comfortably.

Assistive Listening Devices
Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs) are technologies that support hearing. ALDs range from personal amplifiers, to hearing loops, amplified phones, and alerting devices as well as ALDs for watching TV. These technologies are designed to make the sound more accessible in both public and private environments. Most ALDs are also compatible with hearing aids, providing even greater hearing support.
