Hearing Care and Hearing Aid Services
Hearing Evaluations
During a hearing evaluation, a variety of tests to determine the unique aspects of your hearing will be performed. This evaluation can be conducted on people of any age, but the individual tests will vary by age.
Hearing Aid Dispensing and Fitting
At the hearing aid fitting, your hearing aids are programmed based on a prescription that is specific to each person’s hearing loss. Hearing aid care, use, and expectations will be discussed. Over time, adjustments will also be made to optimize your hearing.
Hearing Aid Repairs
Some minor hearing aid repairs can be done in the office setting in a short period of time; others will need to be sent to the manufacturer for repair. Your hearing professional can help determine what kind of a repair is necessary if your hearing aid is not working properly.
Tinnitus Treatment
Tinnitus is described as a ringing or noise in the ear, and can range in severity. A tinnitus evaluation can help identify the characteristics or your tinnitus, what might be causing it, and how much it interferes with your daily life. Treatment options that can benefit you will be discussed.
Balance Evaluations
Certain balance evaluations, such as Videonystagmography (VNG) evaluate the function of the vestibular portion of the inner ear for patients who are experiencing symptoms of vertigo, unsteadiness, dizziness, and other balance disorders. Hearing evaluations are also frequently combined with vestibular studies for the identification of inner ear disorders.
Earwax Removal
Cerumen, or earwax, can be removed from the ear canal so that it does not interfere with listening or comfort.
Custom Earplugs
Hearing protection is essential. For this purpose we produce custom-made earplugs based on the exact contours of your ears.
Cell Phone Accessories
We can help with cell phone accessories, including custom earpieces for cell phone headsets, Bluetooth compatible devices, hands-free and more.
Battery Sales
Stop in routinely for fresh batteries. Make sure to check the batteries in your hearing devices often and make sure there is no dirt, wax or debris interfering with the batteries performance.

OAEs
Otoacoustic emission testing allows the audiologist to understand how the outer hair cells of your inner ear are working.
Tympanometry
Tympanometry is an examination used to test the condition of the middle ear and mobility of the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and the conduction bones, by creating variations of air pressure in the ear canal.
