Services
Hearing Tests
Our comprehensive hearing evaluations use advanced diagnostic tools to determine the type and degree of hearing loss. These tests measure auditory thresholds, speech recognition, and middle ear function to create personalized treatment plans. Our audiologists interpret results to recommend appropriate interventions ranging from hearing protection to amplification devices.
Hearing Aid Selection
We offer a wide range of hearing aid styles including receiver-in-canal, behind-the-ear, and completely-in-the-canal models. Our specialists help patients choose devices based on lifestyle needs, degree of hearing loss, and technological preferences. We provide access to leading manufacturers' latest digital signal processing technology for optimal sound clarity.
Hearing Aid Programming
Our programming services optimize hearing aid performance through computer-assisted fine-tuning of frequency response and noise reduction features. We ensure proper fit and comfort while adjusting amplification levels to match individual audiometric profiles. Follow-up appointments maintain optimal device performance as hearing needs evolve.
Tinnitus Management
We provide specialized treatment for persistent ringing or buzzing sounds in the ears. Our approach combines sound therapy, counseling, and hearing technology to reduce symptom severity. Patients receive education about contributing factors and strategies to minimize tinnitus impact on daily life.
Hearing Protection
Custom-molded ear protection prevents noise-induced hearing loss in occupational and recreational settings. We offer solutions for musicians, industrial workers, and recreational shooters that maintain sound quality while reducing harmful decibel exposure. These devices preserve auditory clarity at safe volume levels.

I would recommend Gulf coast audiology without hesitation. I had the most thorough, professional and informative evaluation in a very long time. A rather unique and wonderful experience in Florida.
Drianis Duran, Au.D. Is by far the most conscientious practitioner, very skilled at what she does and extremely clear in discussing her findings. Absolutely a pleasure to have met her.

My husband David has been a patient of the practice for several years. The receptionist, Julie, sets the tone for the office both in person and phone. She is always kind and patient and helpful. Dr Duran and Dr Burns have bent over backwards to help me achieve better hearing. They are both very talented professionals.

Great customer service. Friendly atmosphere, from the front office to the doctor. The doctor made sure that I was comfortable while she explained in detail my hearing problems. She also helped me to understand the technical terms of my hearing problem.
