Specialty Services

Hearing aids are medical devices, not retail commodities! Of the 7 practices within 2 miles, only one is a healthcare provider�a doctor of audiology with more than 35 years of experience. Only one always uses real-ear measurement verification, the gold-standard in hearing aid programming. Head south and go for the gold!

Real ear measurement with speech mapping is the initial fitting method we use. It involves using a very thin probe microphone tube to measure the sound levels in the ear canal with the hearing aids in place. The hearing aids are then adjusted until the power levels at each pitch match soft, average, and loud targets based on the hearing loss, so that speech audibility can be maximized. The settings are further fine-tuned based on your comfort levels and comments on the day of fitting and at follow-up visits.

We also help those who need assistance with tinnitus (ringing in the ears) by doing some counseling and fitting hearing aids with tinnitus sound generators.
