A Diagnostic Audiologic Evaluation is a series of tests that determine if you have hearing loss, and if so, to what extent. The tests are chosen based on your age, symptoms and medical history, allowing your provider to tailor a treatment plan for your specific needs.

Earwax is an essential part of hearing health, but too much buildup can cause blockages, earaches and other issues. Your hearing provider can remove significant blockages in the office and give you instructions for proper cleaning at home.

These evaluations determine if hearing aids are the best course of action for your hearing journey. If so, your provider will help you choose the best hearing aid style and features based on your level of hearing loss, lifestyle, and budget.

Auditory processing disorders (APD) limit the brain’s ability to identify and understand sounds, especially in noisy environments. APD symptoms look different for everyone, so an evaluation will help your provider determine the best course of action.

Once you’ve chosen hearing aids, the next step is to get them fitted and working just right. Your provider will walk you through proper care and maintenance, as well as make adjustments to ensure you’re getting the most from your new device.

Hearing aids are comprised of tiny electrical components that may experience wear and tear over time. If this is the case, you’ll likely need to visit your hearing professional to have the problem assessed. Whether it’s simply due to aging or the units have been exposed to moisture, excessive wax, debris or physical damage, you’ll want your hearing specialist to evaluate the extent of repairs needed.

Hearing damage is a real and unfortunate hazard if your job frequently exposes you to loud noises. Hearing evaluations can help identify early signs of hearing loss, and industrial screenings play a key role in keeping working environments safe for employees.

Live speech mapping uses advanced technology to make fitting appointments more interactive and accurate, helping optimize your hearing aids for your specific needs. It can cut down on “trial and error” and reduce the number of office visits needed for adjustments.
