Services
Hearing Testing
Our comprehensive audiological assessments use calibrated equipment to measure hearing thresholds and speech understanding. Testing includes tympanometry, pure-tone audiometry, and speech recognition analysis conducted in sound-treated environments. Results are presented in detailed audiograms that identify type, degree, and configuration of hearing loss, forming the basis for personalized treatment recommendations.
Hearing Aid Fitting
We specialize in precision fitting of digital hearing instruments using real-ear measurement technology. Our process matches device capabilities to individual hearing profiles while considering lifestyle needs. Advanced software adjusts frequency response, compression settings, and noise reduction features during in-office trials to ensure optimal sound quality and wearing comfort.
Hearing Aid Repairs
Our technicians service all major brands with in-house repairs for common issues like moisture damage and component failure. We perform diagnostic assessments to determine repair feasibility, offering same-day service when possible. For complex repairs requiring manufacturer parts, we manage shipping logistics and provide loaner devices to maintain communication access during service periods.
Hearing Protection
We offer custom-molded hearing protection solutions for occupational and recreational noise exposure. SoundGear technology provides situational awareness while limiting harmful decibel levels for hunters, industrial workers, and musicians. Our Phantom model combines Bluetooth connectivity with impulse noise suppression, offering 23-hour battery life in a rechargeable, FDA-registered hearing protection device.
Earwax Removal
Our professionals use specialized tools and microsuction techniques to safely remove impacted cerumen. This non-invasive procedure addresses blockages causing temporary hearing loss while preserving ear canal integrity. We provide post-removal care guidance to prevent future impactions, using video otoscopy for visual confirmation of complete removal.
