What we do.
Screening
Just like back in grade school, a hearing screening consists of an otoscopic examination of the ear and a five minute hearing test administered with an audiometer by a licensed hearing care professional.
Hearing evaluations
A hearing evaluation is a more extensive version of the screening. The evaluation includes testing with tones, speech, and assessment of someone’s ability to understand speech with amplification.
Communication assessments
A more extensive evaluation of how a person performs with amplification, using live speech, conversation, background noise, and use of assistive listening devices.
Technology and education
Once we have determined whether or not amplification or assistive devices are appropriate, we will make an appointment for fitting and installation of devices, and education on care and use as well as education for family and caregivers.
