Services

  • Audiological Evaluations
    Complete hearing testing for ages infant to adult provided by a certified clinical audiologist. Evaluations include measures of hearing sensitivity for air and bone conducted sounds, measures of speech discrimination ability and, when necessary, assessment of the middle ear function (impedance audiometry), and special testing to determine the location of dysfunction. A Speech in Noise test may also be administered as needed.

  • Hearing Aid Evaluations
    Videootoscopy is used to visually evaluate the status of the external ear and eardrum. Combined with the knowledge of our audiologists, you'll know exactly what it will take to have better hearing health.

  • Hearing Aid Sales & Service
    We offer a wide selection of hearing aids, including digital processing and digitally programmable, from a variety of manufacturers. We will work with you to find the best solution for your hearing healthcare needs within your budget.

  • Hearing Aid Accessories
    Hearing aid batteries, assistive listening devices such as audio induction loops, infrared systems and FM modulated systems, TV listening devices and telephone amplifiers, and items for the care and maintenance of your hearing aids are always available.

  • ABR-Diagnostic Auditory Brainstem Response
    Diagnostic Auditory Brainstem response (ABR) is a diagnostic test which is similar to an EEG. This procedure involves the use of clicking sounds to stimulate the auditory nerve, which produces an electrical response. Electrodes placed on the patient's face and ears pick up the electrical activity of the nerve, and a computer displays the results for the audiologist to interpret. Also known as BERA, BAER.

  • Tinnitus Diagnostics & Management
    Many people experience ringing or other noise in the ear or head. We will evaluate the nature of this noise, make appropriate medical referrals, and discuss possibilities in management, such as tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT).

  • Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions
    A small probe like an earplug is placed into the ear canal, and a series of tones is presented to the ear. The probe records the response from the hair cells of the inner ear to these tones to give an indication as to hair cell function.

  • Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs)
    We offer information and guidance on use of assistive listening devices, such as amplified telephones, FM transmitter systems, and infrared systems. These systems serve as additional help in situations when hearing aids do not provide the necessary assistance. We will either order the device in which you are interested, or give you the information to order on your own.

  • Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP) Testing
    The purpose of this test is to determine if the saccule, one portion of the otoliths, as well the inferior vestibular nerve and central connections, are intact and working normally.

  • Videonystagmography (vng) testing
    VNG testing is used to determine if a vestibular (inner ear) disease may be causing a balance or dizziness problem, and is one of the only tests available today that can decipher between a unilateral (one ear) and bilateral (both ears) vestibular loss.

  • Electrocochleography (ECOG)
    ECOG is a variant of brainstem audio evoked response (BAER). It is not a vestibular test at all but rather a test of hearing. It is intended to diagnose Meniere's disease, and, in particular, hydrops.
