OUR SERVICES
Comprehensive Audiological Evaluation
A comprehensive audiological evaluation includes air and bone conduction
audiometry, speech audiometry, and immittance (middle ear evaluation).
Audiological
Monitoring
Audiological monitoring is performed to
monitor hearing thresholds for oncology patients or for individuals exposed to
noise in the work place. A baseline
audiological evaluation is performed before further treatments or exposure to
noise. Hearing thresholds are then continually monitored for any changes in
hearing thresholds.
Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE)
OAE testing is an objective method of measuring “echoes”
produced by the outer hair cells of the inner ear. This test helps us determine
if the inner ear is functioning properly and can reveal signs of hearing loss
earlier than standard testing.
Vestibular
Evaluation
A vestibular evaluation analyzes a
person’s central and peripheral balance systems. Testing may include VNG (Video-nystagmography),
VAT (Vestibular Autorotation testing), and/or torsional swing testing. These
tests will be prescribed by your physician.
Hearing Aid Consultation
A hearing aid consultation is an informative discussion regarding hearing aids
and candidacy. You will receive an overview of hearing aids, assistive
listening devices, and receive answers to all your hearing aid questions. If
appropriate, an In-office demonstration will be performed. You must have a
complete hearing test within the past six months. This is a complimentary
appointment.

We offer a variety of the most sophisticated digital technology from the
hearing aid manufactures Oticon, Starkey, and Siemens. Our hearing aid package
includes the hearing aid fitting, programming, cleaning and checks for 1 year,
as well as complimentary batteries for the first year.
Hearing Aid Programming
Hearing aids are programmed utilizing a computer and manufacturer’s software
when a patient needs an adjustment (such as volume or memories). We currently
program Oticon, Starkey, and Siemens hearing aids. You must have a hearing test
within the past 6 months.
Hearing Aid Services
We offer In-house repairs, checks, and cleanings of all hearing aids. Currently
we offer out of office repairs for hearing aids under warranty from Oticon,
Starkey, and Siemens. All other manufacturers can be repaired through our

repair company.
