Our Services
Our services include the following tests and procedures.
Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs): FM Systems
We offer information and guidance on use of assistive listening devices, such as amplified telephones, FM transmitter systems, and infrared systems. These systems serve as additional help in situations when hearing aids do not provide the necessary assistance. We will either order the device in which you are interested, or give you the information to order on your own.
Audiometric Evaluations
The audiometric evaluation (audio) consists of testing with both speech and pure tones. Testing with pure tones is done to determine the amount of hearing loss for volume. Speech discrimination scores are obtained to estimate the loss of hearing pertaining to the fine-tunig ability of the ear.

Today's hearing aid batteries are 'zinc-air.' Because the batteries are air-activated, a factory-sealed sticker keeps them "inactive" until you remove the sticker. Once the sticker is removed from the back of the battery, oxygen in the air contacts the zinc within the battery, and the battery is "turned-on". Since many of today's automatic hearing aids do not have "off" switches, removing the battery from the hearing aid circuit, by opening the battery door, when not in use, assures the device is turned off. Zinc-air batteries have a "shelf life" of up to three years when stored in a cool, dry environment. Storing zinc-air hearing aids in the refrigerator has no beneficial effect on their shelf life. In fact -- quite the opposite may happen. The cold air may actually form little water particles under the sticker. Water is made of oxygen and hydrogen. If the water vapor creeps under the sticker, oxygen may contact the zinc and the battery could be totally discharged by the time you peel off the sticker! Therefore, the best place to store batteries is in a cool dry place, like the back of your sock drawer, not the fridge!

Counseling sessions: Private
Often, families and spouses need to be included to obtain the optimum results for the person using the hearing aid.
Ear Molds: Custom-made hearing protection earmolds
Whether you work in a noisy place, or just mow the lawn
Any kind of noise exposure is potentially damaging to hearing, so whether your noise exposure comes from your work environment or just mowing your lawn, custom earmolds can provide protection from noise-induced hearing loss.

TOP 10 REASONS TO GET AQUANOTS BY WESTONE
With swim season almost upon us, we wanted to take this opportunity to remind you of a few of the many useful reasons to have a pair of AquaNot swimplugs from Westone on hand.
You know, AquaNots are great for more than just swimming - they're also excellent sound plugs. Some of these reasons you may already be aware of, some we just thought up, but all are sure to make you say, "Wow, order me a pair!"
10. Keeps water out of your ears while swimming on vacation (and your brain from exploding while trapped in the car with the kids on the way there).
9. Excellent noise suppression capabilities. Great for use when cutting wood, mowing the lawn, operating power equipment, or visiting your in-laws.
8. They're floatable (even if you're not).
7. Exciting, more vibrant colors are sure to make a splash at the pool (cannonballs and belly-flops optional).
6. Your head is full of enough junk already (eighth grade locker combination; phone number from 1983; the words to The Brady Bunch theme song) -- there's no need to add pool or ocean water to the mix.
5. Ensures that you actually enjoy the peace and quiet of a long, hot bath -- whether there is peace and quiet in the house or not.
4. Never again be bothered on an airplane by the annoying whine of the jet engines (or the no-slip bathtub appliqu?alesman sitting next to you).
3. Handy cords keep AquaNots connected (also great for emergency bikini repair).
2. With handles for easy placement and removal, super soggy wrinkled skin won't be a problem -- even if you haven't been in the water yet.
1. There's just nothing better at keeping water out. AquaNots and Swyrls by Westone are soft for long wearing comfort, floatable, and offer incredible noise suppression. If you're looking for the ultimate in style and comfort, they really are number one.

Hearing Aid checks
We offer cleaning services for your hearing aids, and will check the function of the aids in our electroacoustic analyzer. We will also evaluate your performance with the hearing aids.
Hearing Aid Consultation
Often, families and spouses need to be included to obtain the optimum results for the person using the hearing aid.
Hearing Aid Extended Warranty Information
Extended Warranty available
If your hearing aid requires servicing while still under the manufacturer's warranty, either for a new aid, or repair warranty, we will take care of the necessary paperwork and give you a loaner hearing aid to use in the meantime.

Hearing Aid Fitting
Determine which type of hearing aid is best
At the hearing aid evaluation, you and your audiologist will determine which type of hearing aid is best for you and your unique needs, including the style, circuit, and number of hearing aids necessary. This choice should reflect your needs, preferences, and budget, including your lifestyle and activity level, medical conditions, physical characteristics and limitations, cosmetic and style preferences, and financial expectations.

OtoAcoustic Emissions
Recording of responses from the inner ear
A small probe like an earplug is placed into the ear canal, and a series of tones is presented to the ear. The probe records the response from the hair cells of the inner ear to these tones to give an indication as to hair cell function.

Real-ear measurement
Measurement of hearing aid output in the ear
A small tube attached to a microphone is inserted into the ear along with the hearing aid, and the output of the aid, as modified by the ear canal, can be measured to assure adequate amplification when setting or programming the aid.

Tympanometry
Acoustic Immittance: Computerized, objective measurement of middle ear and its structures.
Video-Otoscopy
One of the most advanced diagnostic tools used by audiologists in the detection of abnormalities of the ear is the Video Otoscope. It shows you on a TV monitor exactly what is going on inside the ear canal, often times finding wax build-up or skin debris, which is one of the most common causes of hearing aid failure. It can also show us whether there is damage to the eardrum or ear canal.
