Hearing & Tinnitus

Many people suffer from tinnitus which is often caused by damage to your hearing and auditory system; including the nerve which transfers sound from your ear to your brain. For most cases, this 'head noise' is directly attributed to the progressive and degenerative loss of nerves connecting the ear to the brain, aka hearing loss. Early treatment is a crucial part of slowing down the symptoms of tinnitus that will worsen over time.

Patients who choose medical treatment for their tinnitus often live confident lives, free from frustrating ringing, humming, or buzzing in their ears. Our most successful patients chose our premium technology treatment plans to restore the sound activity to the auditory system. In doing so, the sounds provided by our treatment process can work to retrain the auditory system to properly identify sounds and suppress the mistaken increase in neural activity.

Hearing Evaluations, Hearing Aid Fittings and Repairs

At Ear to Hear, your journey to better hearing begins with a thorough hearing evaluation and a cognitive screening. We are proud to provide high-quality services and compassionate, patient-centered care that makes a meaningful difference in hearing health.

We understand that hearing is essential for connecting with the world, and any disruption can deeply affect daily life. Because hearing also plays an important role in brain health and cognitive function, our dedicated team is committed to offering solutions that empower patients to live active and fulfilling lives.

From evaluation and diagnosis to personalized treatment, we work closely with each patient to address all types and degrees of hearing loss with care, expertise, and lasting results.

Hearing Aid Fittings & Dispensing

After your hearing evaluation and cognitive screening are completed we will identify your specific needs, and then start your personalized treatment plan. For many individuals, hearing aids—small electronic devices that amplify sound and improve speech clarity in various environments—are the most effective solution. Our hearing care professionals will consider your unique hearing profile, lifestyle, and preferences, along with the latest advancements in hearing aid technology, to recommend the best device for you. If your chosen hearing aid needs a custom fit, we will take impressions of your ear to ensure optimal comfort and performance.

During your follow-up fitting appointment, you will receive your hearing aids, and our specialist will program them based on your specific hearing needs. We will guide you through everything you need to know about wearing, adjusting, cleaning, and maintaining your devices, so you feel confident using them in your daily life. Since this appointment includes a lot of valuable information, we recommend bringing a family member or friend for support. They can help you remember key details and assist you at home if needed.

Hearing Aid Repairs

Hearing aids are durable and long-lasting devices. But similar to most items that are used daily, they are impacted by regular wear and tear. It is not uncommon for hearing aids to need repair work over time. At Ear to Hear, we provide in-house repairs so that our patients can easily and conveniently access this if needed.

A few signs indicate that your hearing aids may need professional repair work: you experience feedback noise, your hearing aid powers off randomly, or you are simply not hearing as clearly as you once did with your hearing aids. We can provide common fixes including battery door repairs, hook and tubing repairs and replacements, and more. Our experts will fully assess your device, run performance tests, and determine what is needed.
