<\/path><\/svg>Comprehensive Assessment of Hearing<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our assessment of hearing is designed to identify disorders that may interfere with the ability to communicate on a daily basis and can ultimately decrease one’s quality of life. The test battery aims to measure the degree and type of hearing loss. It includes audiometry and immittance testing for adults and a pediatric-specific test battery when appropriate.

<\/path><\/svg>Balance Testing\/Videonystagmography (VNG)<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Videonystagmography testing is used in the evaluation of patients with vertigo or dizziness\/imbalance. The test looks to determine if the symptoms are stemming from a dysfunction of the balance system or inner ear. Learn more about Balance Testing.<\/a><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/svg>Non-Sedated Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR)<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This test is an objective, non-invasive procedure that evaluates the integrity of the hearing nerve. In addition, this test can also be utilized to approximate hearing thresholds in newborns and in those patients who may be difficult to evaluate behaviorally.

<\/path><\/svg>Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE)<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This test evaluates cochlear function and is useful in the assessment of newborns, small children and cases of noise exposure, tinnitus and those exposed to medications that are toxic to the hearing system. Learn more about Otoacoustic Emissions.<\/a><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/svg>Assistive Listening Devices (ALD)<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These specialized options include: amplified telephones, infrared systems to hear television, inductive loop, bluetooth devices, amplified doorbells, amplified smoke detectors, alarm clocks, etc. Learn more about Assistive Listening Devices.<\/a><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/svg>Wireless Communications\/FM Systems<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many wireless products\/systems that can be utilized with and without hearing aids to help maximize listening satisfaction. Examples include: remote microphones (allows distant speakers to be heard with clarity), cell phone and TV streaming (allows the sound input to be heard in both ears), and cordless landline phones (allows for amplified hearing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also provide conventional FM systems. FM systems are specific Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs) used in conjunction with hearing aids. It is a wireless system that uses radio broadcast technology to bring the desired signal directly to one’s ears. Typically, a speaker will wear a microphone transmitter that allows the listener to hear from up to 150 feet away. These systems are particularly helpful for individuals who need additional benefit in noisy listening environments (classrooms, restaurants, meetings, etc.).

<\/path><\/svg>Ear Protection<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We offer custom musician\u2019s plugs and custom noise plugs. Musician\u2019s plugs are available with 9dB, 15dB, and 25dB filters and attenuate equally across the frequency range for a smooth, undistorted response. In-ear monitors are also available, along with specialized wired and wireless headphone options for listening to various audio inputs.

<\/path><\/svg>Counseling for Patients and Families<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We understand the decision to obtain a hearing aid can be an arduous process. Our goal is to help patients and their families not only understand hearing, but how a loss of hearing may impact daily communicative function and interaction. We pride ourselves on the ability to achieve optimal success through the use of amplification and other assistive listening devices, but we also strive to effectively communicate realistic expectations of hearing aid function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to work with patients and their family members to create an open line of communication with the goal of improving overall quality of life. Learn more about Counseling for Patients and Families.<\/a> <\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n
