Audiology is the part of medicine that focuses on hearing and balance problems. If you have trouble hearing or want to improve your hearing with new technology, we are here to help. Our goal is to make it easier for you to hear and enjoy the sounds that matter most in your life.
Amplifying sound with audiology
Sound is important in our daily lives, helping us communicate and experience the world. Some people are born with hearing loss, while others may lose hearing from loud noises, certain medications, or health conditions. Our expert audiologists can help find early signs of hearing loss and suggest the best hearing device for your needs.

Conditions
There are a variety of factors that can lead to hearing loss, including:
- Aging
- Genetics
- Loud noise exposure
- Ototoxic medications
From our littlest patients to adults, we help people living with one or a combination of the following hearing disorders:
- Eardrum perforations
- Middle ear infections
- VIII cranial nerve lesions
- Ototoxicity
Testing
Our audiologists are skilled in conducting a variety of diagnostic tests to get to the bottom of your hearing problem. We offer the following hearing tests to determine the degree and type of hearing loss you're living with:
- Auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing
- Comprehensive vestibular evaluations
- Diagnostic hearing evaluations
- Newborn hearing screenings
- Ototoxicity monitoring
Our audiologists also work in harmony with ear, nose and throat (ENT) doctors and other specialists to better treat complex hearing problems.
Comprehensive hearing evaluations
At your first visit, your audiologist will review your medical history and examine your ears to confirm they're clear for testing. Your comprehensive hearing evaluation includes tests such as:
- Distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs)
- Immittance battery
- Pure tone air and bone conduction
- Speech audiometry
Treatments
Many people have trouble with hearing loss, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. Depending on the cause and your needs, we can help with:
- Communication training to make it easier to talk in difficult situations
- Custom earmolds for swimming, musicians, and ear protection
- Fitting hearing aids
- Implantable devices like bone conduction or cochlear implants
- Repairing hearing aids
Hearing aids
About 1 in 8 people in the United States aged 12 or older has hearing loss in both ears. Hearing aid technology has improved dramatically over the years. Today, you can benefit from a higher sound quality, more connectivity options and a sleeker look than the devices of the past.
Implantable hearing devices
Different from traditional hearing aids that are worn in or behind the ear, an implantable hearing device is a more permanent solution that's surgically implanted in the ear to amplify sound. Together, we'll explore if a bone-conduction hearing aid or cochlear implant is right for you.
Ototoxicity monitoring
Ototoxic medications play an important role in treating conditions like cancer, serious infections and sickle cell anemia. If not properly monitored, these medications can cause hearing loss or damage. Ototoxicity monitoring involves routine hearing tests to measure how well you hear and flag the first signs of hearing loss to your doctor.
