Testing

A hearing evaluation will help you find the best approach to improving your hearing. We offer comprehensive, diagnostic hearing evaluations for adults 18 and up. Testing is conducted with state-of-the-art equipment in a soundproof test booth to determine the type and extent of your hearing loss and candidacy for hearing aids. We also offer industrial hearing screenings to monitor those who work in noisy environments.

Hearing Loops

Getting More from Your Hearing Aid with Hearing Loops
Even with the most up-to-date technology, hearing aids can't completely separate important sounds from background noises. They don't always pick up all sounds from a distance, such as those in a performance hall, a place of worship or even a home television set viewed from across the room. In such difficult listening settings, hearing (induction) loops are often a solution.

A hearing loop provides significantly-enhanced functionality for hearing aids. A hearing loop is a wire connected to an electronic sound source that transmits that sound directly to the Telecoil in a hearing aid. A hearing loop can discreetly surround a room, a chair in your home, or even be worn around the neck. Hearing loops can be connected to a public address system, a living room television set, a telephone (land line and cellular), or any source that produces sound electronically.

Important Notes on Hearing Loops:
  • A hearing aid equipped with a manually controlled T-switch is necessary to hear in a hearing loop
The T-switch, or Telecoil, receives its signal from the loop and turns it back into sound in the hearing aid – eliminating background noise. The listener hears only the desired sound.
  • Hearing loops can double hearing aid functionality
Using the telecoil in conjunction with a hearing loop is a cost-effective way to improve the usability of your hearing aid. The telecoil can also be used in conjunction with a variety of wireless or hand held hearing assistive listening devices.
