Our Services
Audiometric tests obtained in a sound-treated booth determine the nature and degree of hearing loss. These routinely include the use of tones and speech, and often include middle ear and acoustic reflex analysis as well.
This specialized test procedure uses a sensitive microphone placed in the ear canal to measure the responses generated by the hair cells of the inner ear. We use this test to evaluate children and/or others who cannot respond reliably to normal hearing test procedures. It can also provide valuable specialized diagnostic information regarding the status of cochlear outer hair cells.
We use behavioral tests which are suitable for the evaluation of the hearing of infants, young children and others who are not developmentally equipped to respond well to traditional adult measures.
This test is used as a diagnostic tool to evaluate those patients with balance problems such as dizziness or vertigo. Using various stimuli, state-of-the-art equipment precisely measures eye movement as it relates to balance mechanisms.
We offer a wide variety of hearing instruments featuring the latest digital technology from major manufacturers. During the hearing aid consultation we will discuss options appropriate to your hearing loss, lifestyle and preferences. When a selection has been made, we will order your aid(s) and schedule your fitting.
When we have your hearing aid selection in our office, we will go through the fitting process with you. This involves customized computer programming, using the latest software technology available, as well as a detailed explanation and demonstration of the proper use and care of your hearing aid system.
We consider the hearing aid fitting described above to be an ongoing process, and will schedule follow-up visits to address any issues you may have.
We service and provide minor repairs of hearing aids, while sending them to appropriate facilities for major repair. Our staff emphasizes ongoing cleaning and maintenance after your hearing aid purchase to insure you receive optimum performance and benefit.
We have accessories available for the use and maintenance of hearing aids. These include hearing aid batteries, moisture reduction kits, cleaning tools and ear cleaning systems.
We provide custom-molded hearing protection to limit noise exposure to workers, musicians and others who want to reduce the risk of hearing loss. The noise reduction levels of some of these devices can also be customized to accommodate the user's exposures and communication needs.
We also provide custom-molded swim plugs for those who should not, or do not want to, get water in their ears.
Information is available on a variety of assistive listening devices, such as audio induction loops, infrared and TV listening systems, telephone amplifiers and alerting or signalling units. Several of these devices are also available directly from our office.
We provide audiometric monitoring for noise-exposed workers, as well as education and training regarding the hazards of noise, and hearing loss prevention strategies. We also emphasize the prevention of hearing loss for both adults and chldren who may be exposed to recreational, home or other damaging noise levels.
We offer a variety of custom-molded hearing protection selections for the community at risk for noise exposure.
