Hearing Loss Services
We offer many services that can help with various aspects of your hearing.
- Earwax Removal: Our ear wax removal procedure takes 3-5 minutes and is completely pain-free and highly effective with the Earigator™, which combines the functions of both an otoscope and irrigation. Pressure controls ensure that the Earigator™ quickly removes even impacted cerumen, while never endangering the eardrum and avoids any caloric or vertigo side effects with self-contained temperature control.
- Tinnitus Treatments: Tinnitus is the perception of noise in the ears or head when no external noise is present. The American Tinnitus Association lists hearing aids as a treatment option (see our hearing devices offered below). The clinical tools we use at our appointments to evaluate patients suffering from tinnitus include:
-
-
- Comprehensive audiological evaluation
- Speech recognition test
- Pure tone audiogram
- Tympanogram
- Acoustic reflex testing
- Tinnitus sound matching
- Minimum masking level
- Loudness discomfort level
-
- Sudden Hearing Loss Counseling: When someone rapidly loses hearing when no injury or trauma has occurred, we refer to it as sudden deafness. A person experiencing sudden deafness, called Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSHL), should seek medical attention immediately to receive proper and quick care. If you believe you or a loved one are suffering from sudden deafness (SSHL), we recommend you seek treatment as soon as possible. With proper medical care, about 50% of the people suffering from sudden deafness will regain their hearing within 7-14 days. Schedule your appointment today.
Hearing Devices and Accessories
Not only do we offer the services to improve your hearing, but we also offer the tools that will help you as well. We offer over 7 brands of receiver-in-ear (RIE) hearing aids, behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids, and even custom hearing aids. We also offer accessories for your hearing aids, such as noise protection, swim plugs, assistive listening devices, Bluetooth accessories, and batteries.
