Hearing well is living well.
Hearing loss can make you miss out on more than just sounds. Over time hearing loss can lead to withdrawing from social interactions and ultimately a decline in your overall mental health.
Types of Hearing Loss
-
Conductive Hearing Loss
Conductive hearing loss refers to hearing loss that arises because sound cannot get through the outer or middle ear. This type of hearing loss can, among other reasons, be caused by fluid, earwax or an infection in the ear. It is often temporary and can sometimes be treated with medicine or surgery.
-
Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Sensorineural hearing loss comes from issues with the inner ear. This type of hearing loss is usually permanent. Age, noise and genetics are common reasons for sensorineural hearing loss.
-
Mixed Hearing Loss
This type of hearing loss is a combination of conductive as well as sensorineural hearing loss.

PLEASE NOTE: I do NOT accept insurance. Upon request, I can provide documentation for you to file with your insurance. I try to keep my routine fees, such as hearing evaluations and speech therapy prices lower to help them be more affordable.
We offer free hearing screenings to confirm that there is hearing loss.
If hearing loss is indicated, we offer more in-depth diagnostic hearing evaluations to determine the best course of action. While hearing aids are often a part of the solution, our in-depth diagnostic evaluations ensure that the best, most appropriate care plan is prescribed for each patient.
