Earwax is a vital component of healthy hearing, but too much can lead to buildup that can cause earaches and other issues. If you’ve been experiencing ear pain or muffled hearing, your provider can check to see if excess earwax is the culprit. We can remove significant blockages in-office, as well as provide instructions for proper home cleaning.

To determine if hearing aids are the right course of treatment for your hearing loss, we will first need to conduct a hearing evaluation. These evaluations help your provider identify the best style of hearing aid to meet your needs, lifestyle and budget. Your provider will also walk you through the various features and options based on your preferences, ensuring you are paired with the right device.

After you’ve selected your hearing aids, the next step is to optimize them for daily wear. Everyone’s ear anatomy is different, which is why most hearing aids require a fitting session to make adjustments. To ensure a seamless fit, our practice offers live speech mapping: a verification method that makes customizations and adjustments more accurate.

Hearing aids are a part of your daily life, which means they’re subject to wear and tear. This is completely normal and expected, even if you are diligent about routine upkeep. If your device could use a tune-up, bring them in and our team will be happy to assist you. We are equipped to handle most repairs on-site but will seek manufacturer support if necessary.

When it comes to hearing loss, identifying early signs is key to finding the best path forward. Hearing tests provide an accurate picture of your hearing loss and allow your provider to recommend the right treatment. We also offer industrial screenings for patients who work in high-risk environments for noise damage.

Thanks to advances in technology, hearing healthcare is becoming more accessible and convenient than ever before. If remote appointments are a better fit for you, our office now offers telehealth for hearing loss testing, as well as hearing aid selection and fittings. Book an appointment today, and our staff will walk you through the steps needed to set up your virtual appointment.
