In addition to our hearing evaluations, we also offer various services for speech, hearing aids counseling, cochlear implants, and more.
Cochlear Implant Mapping
Mapping is the term used for programming a cochlear implant. Cochlear implant maps are set based on an individual’s response to sound through the cochlear implant device.
Counseling on the use and care of your hearing aids
Professional staff is available to help you with problems you may be having with your hearing aids. They can also spend time with you and discuss ways to make listening with hearing aids easier in your day-to-day life. Family members are welcome and encouraged to come with you and learn about your hearing aids.
Evaluation and demonstration of Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs) including FM systems, Alarm Clocks, TV and Phone Amplifiers
Assistive listening devices are devices that can help a listener function better in day-to-day communication situations. ALDs can be used with or without hearing aids to make hearing easier, which can reduce the overall stress and fatigue of listening. ALDs can be used in the home to make alarms, the television and telephone more audible. They can also be connected to personal hearing aids for better listening in noisy environments.
Hearing Aid Follow-up Care
Once your hearing aids have been fitted to your complete satisfaction, we will provide you with detailed information on how they should be maintained. Of course, you can have your hearing aids checked by us at any time. This will ensure that the sound quality remains as good as ever, and will extend the life of your aids.
Immitance Testing
This procedure evaluates middle ear function by assessing how well the eardrum and middle ear bones move. This test is very useful in determining the location of a problem.
Otoacoustic emission testing
Otoacoustic emission testing (OAEs) allows the audiologist to understand how the outer hair cells of your inner ear are working.
Speech Discrimination Testing
This test determines how well speech is understood and if aids can help. This test is very helpful in determining if problems exist beyond the hearing nerve and gives insight as to how well hearing
Test & Audiometry
In order to adjust your hearing aid to your individual requirements, we first determine your personal hearing profile, or “audiogram.” This is done by testing your ability to hear a variety of speech and environmental sounds.
Tympanometry
Tympanometry is an examination used to test the condition of the middle ear and mobility of the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and the conduction bones, by creating variations of air pressure in the ear canal.
