2. Comprehensive Range of Services
We offer a wide array of services, from hearing tests to cochlear implant mapping, all tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient.
Hearing Tests
Our hearing tests go beyond basic screenings, incorporating pure-tone tests, speech recognition tests, and ear examinations to thoroughly assess your hearing abilities. We conduct these evaluations in a soundproof booth where you'll listen to various sounds and participate in different exercises that help us determine the exact nature and severity of any hearing loss, allowing us to create a tailored treatment plan.
Hearing Aid Fittings
Our hearing aid fitting process includes selecting the right device based on your level of hearing loss, preferences, and lifestyle, followed by precise programming to suit your specific hearing needs. We conduct careful evaluations to determine the hearing aid best suited to you, adjust volume, tone, and pitch to suit your preferences, and use Real Ear Measurements to ensure your devices are performing correctly.
Cochlear Implant Mapping
As one of the few private practice audiology clinics offering cochlear implant services, we provide expert mapping (programming) to align these electronic devices with how you hear best. Our experienced professionals work with you to adjust the T-Levels (softest sounds) and C-Levels (comfortable volume levels) for each electrode through a series of "beeps," ensuring your implant is tailored specifically to your hearing needs.
3. Cutting-Edge Hearing Aid Technology
At The Hearing Spa, we offer the most advanced hearing aid technology to our patients. We carry multiple brands of hearing aids, ensuring that we can select the perfect device to meet your individual needs.
