Our Services

Hearing aid consultaton

If you already have a hearing evaluation report, done by an audiologist, that is less than 6 months old, schedule a free consultation.  Find out why you should purchase your hearing aids from Family Hearing Center!

Diagnostic Hearing Evaluations

You will also be tested using a series of low & high frequency words to determine your ability to understand verbiage within a conversation. We will also give you several words to repeat. The results will help us determine your percentage of hearing loss, your ability to understand speech and if hearing aids will help you.

Typanometry, acoustic reflex testing, and otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are other tests available to further evaluate your hearing.

Auditory Processing Evaluations

We provide hearing tests and auditory processsing evaluations as well as fitting hearing aids.

OAEs

Acoustically evoked otoacoustic emission testing allows the audiologist to understand how the outer hair cells of your inner ear are working.

Tympanometry

Tympanometry is an examination used to test the condition of the middle ear and mobility of the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and the conduction bones, by creating variations of air pressure in the ear canal.

Assistive Listening Devices

Assistive listening devices are designed to augment, enhance, and improve your listening and hearing experiences. For some, this may mean a TV headset to comfortably listen to your favorite show without disrupting the household because of increased volume. For you sleepy heads, a vibrating alarm clock gets you up and going without waking up the neighborhood. For those individuals who have trouble hearing their phone messages, an amplified answering machine better clarifies the recording, providing clear, comfortable sound to help you understand your messages.

Hearing Aids

Hearing aids come in many different sizes, technologies and price ranges. Each persons requirements differ and hearing aids may be customized to your individualized needs. We carry a range of different manufacturers. Your audiologist will inform you of your options, and help you decide on what is most appropriate for you.

Hearing Evaluation

The purpose of a complete diagnostic hearing assessment is to determine if a hearing problem exists. If it does, appropriate
recommendations for medical referral, hearing aid use, assistive listening devices or other options will be discussed.

PEDIATRIC: Children are accompanied into the test booth by their parent or caregiver. Children under the age of five are typically evaluated by two audiologists. Various testing methods are used depending on the age of the child, including visual reinforcment audiometry (VRA) and conditioned play audiometry. VRA involves the pairing of sound with the lighting or movement of a toy. A child is conditioned to this task. Conditioned play audiometry involves conditioning a child to perform a task (stacking blocks, completing a puzzle) when the child hears a sound. Objective tests include Immittance testing to assess middle ear function and Otoacoustic Emission testing to assess the integrity of the outer hair cells of the inner ear.

ADULTS: A complete audiological evaluation includes Pure Tone Testing, Speech Audiometry, Immittance Testing, and Otoacoustic Emission Testing, when indicated.

Live Speech Mapping

Live Speech Mapping is a fitting process that uses probe microphones and live real-time speech to allow the patient and their family members to immediately see and understand the benefits of hearing aids and fitting adjustments.
