Advanced hearing treatments
Our specialists always start with non-surgical options whenever possible. If surgery or an implant is recommended, we’ll explain what to expect and coordinate your care with ENT surgeons and rehabilitation specialists for the best outcome.
Comprehensive hearing evaluations
Our audiologists provide thorough hearing evaluations using technically advanced equipment to identify the type and degree of hearing loss. We take time to understand your lifestyle and hearing challenges, so we can create a personalized plan that fits your needs.
Hearing aid fittings and repairs
Reid Health ENT & Hearing Center offers the latest digital hearing aids, designed for clear, natural sound and all-day comfort. Our experts ensure every device is precisely fitted and programmed for your hearing needs. We also provide professional cleaning, repairs, and adjustments to keep your hearing aids working their best.
Cochlear implants
For patients with severe or profound hearing loss who don’t benefit from hearing aids, a cochlear implant might be the best solution. This small device helps restore access to sound by sending signals directly to the auditory nerve.
Our team provides full evaluation, surgery coordination, and post-implant care to help patients hear and communicate more clearly.
Bone-anchored hearing implants
Bone-anchored hearing implants are ideal for patients with single-sided deafness or conductive hearing loss. These devices use gentle bone vibrations to send sound directly to the inner ear, providing improved clarity and natural hearing.
Our specialists guide patients through every step, from evaluation and surgery coordination to follow-up care and device programming.
What to expect during a hearing evaluation
Your hearing evaluation is the first step toward better hearing health. Our licensed audiologists use advanced technology to understand your specific hearing needs and create a plan that’s right for you.
Here’s what you can expect during your visit:
1. A conversation about your hearing and health history
We’ll start by asking about any symptoms, noise exposure, or medical conditions that could affect your hearing. This helps us understand your lifestyle and the situations where you notice hearing challenges most.
2. A painless ear exam
Your audiologist will use a special light called an otoscope to look inside your ears. This helps check for earwax buildup, infection, or other physical issues that might affect your hearing.
3. Comprehensive hearing tests
You’ll sit in a quiet, sound-treated room and listen to a series of tones, words, and sounds through headphones. These tests measure how well you hear different pitches and volumes, and how clearly you understand speech.
4. Review of your results
Your audiologist will show you your results on an easy-to-read chart called an audiogram. Together, you’ll discuss what the results mean for you and your options for treatment, whether that’s monitoring, hearing aids, or other solutions.
5. Personalized recommendations
If you need treatment, we’ll walk you through next steps and discuss the best options for your lifestyle and budget. Our goal is to help you hear more clearly and confidently in the moments that matter most.
