Audiology Department
Hearing aid technology is constantly changing and our professionals are keeping up to speed through constant continuing education. We specialize in 100% digital hearing aids ranging from economy level to high-end Bluetooth compatible devices. We have wireless telephone, T.V., and music solutions as well as remote control access for you to be in control of comfort and clarity.
Following a comprehensive audiological evaluation, one of our licensed and certified Doctors of Audiology will discuss styles and levels of technology that are appropriate for your needs. Counseling on the use and care as well as fine-tuning of the instruments is done in a relaxed atmosphere with your loved one present if desired.
We pride ourselves in the fact that most of our hearing aid sales are from repeat patients ready for an update or referrals from current patients. The Doctors of Audiology at the Hearing and Balance Center have been on staff with us since graduating school totaling over 45 years of experience. We enjoy allowing students from several universities to further their education and to complete their externships at our facility.
Being a full range Audiology practice, we also test Vestibular Function (balance) with video recording and treat positional vertigo utilizing special maneuvers developed for B.P.P.V. with great success. We offer newborn hearing evaluations and site of lesion testing through our Auditory Brainstem Response test.
