Hearing Tests
Healthy living involves taking care of your hearing. Consider all the sounds that surround you on a given day: birds chirping, a family member laughing, the oven timer beeping, or your favorite movie. Hearing empowers us and connects us with people and the world around us. Hearing loss is invisible and usually painless, so many people fail to realize when it is happening. Hearing tests allow us to examine just what you may (or may not) be hearing. Let us help you celebrate sound with better hearing.

Tinnitus Assessment
Tinnitus is the perception of sound when there is no actual sound in the environment. It is typically described as a ringing sensation, however it can also be described as a buzzing, hissing, crickets, cicadas, roaring and more. Tinnitus can cause anxiety, stress, and frustration for many people. Although tinnitus does not have a known cure, there are options to help you find relief.
Hearing Aids
One of the first signs of hearing loss you may notice is that people seem to not speak as clearly as they used to. You may begin to ask for repetition and may even criticize others for mumbling. You may find that you are withdrawing from social situations. The television may become a source of dispute within the family, as they complain of the volume being too loud. Hearing aids help bring back volume and clarity. When we hear our best, life is more enjoyable as we are able to hear the sounds of laughter, music, nature, and conversations with family and friends.
Hearing Aid Repairs
Hearing aids required routine maintenance and cleaning. They have sophisticated parts that may require repair from time to time. There are a number of things you can do from home to increase the longevity of your hearing aids:
Clean your hearing aids daily.
Brush the microphone ports.
Replace the wax filters.
Keep your hearing aids away from moisture.
If you’ve troubleshooted your hearing aids and the devices are still malfunctioning, we are happy to assist you!
Cerumen Management
The presence of cerumen, also called earwax, in the ear canal is a normal and healthy phenomenon. Cerumen is a waxy material in the outer ear canal produced by sebaceous glands. Cerumen lubricates and protects the ear canal by moisturizing the skin and shielding dust, dirt, infection, and foreign bodies from the eardrum. Accumulation of cerumen is usually asymptomatic but can occasionally cause bothersome symptoms, such as hearing loss, increased tinnitus, or ear discomfort.
