Totally turned my life around. I investigated Cochlear Implants for quite a while but was convinced by the wonderful Audiologist & Surgeon that my choice was truly going to benefit me. I am so happy with my decision & their support.

This is probably the best run doctor’s office we’ve been to. We came for an appt for my husband and he was taken 10 min early (when does that happen?).

How Hearing Treatments Work
Modern hearing care goes far beyond just amplifying sound. Using advanced diagnostic testing, we identify exactly where your hearing loss occurs—then match you with technology designed to restore clarity and connection.
For some, that means discreet, high-performance hearing aids that adapt to background noise. For others, bone-anchored or cochlear implants can directly stimulate the hearing nerve for even greater improvement.
Every treatment is custom-tailored to your hearing profile—so you hear the world naturally again.

Common Questions
How long does a hearing evaluation take, and what happens during it?
A complete hearing evaluation usually takes about 45–60 minutes. Your specialist will review your history, perform detailed hearing tests, and discuss results right away. You’ll leave knowing exactly what’s causing your hearing loss and which treatment options fit you best.
Will insurance cover hearing loss treatment?
In many cases, yes. Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover diagnostic hearing tests. Coverage for hearing aids or implants varies by plan, and our team can verify your benefits before any treatment begins.
Does getting fitted for hearing devices hurt or take long?
Not at all. Hearing aid fittings are quick, comfortable, and non-invasive—usually completed the same day as your evaluation. For advanced options like implants, our specialists coordinate your care and explain each step before scheduling.
I'm very happy with the results, now able to hear things I wasn't able to before and not having to turn up music or the TV to levels that bothered others. It really was life altering....for the better.

What Causes Hearing Loss?
Most hearing loss develops slowly over time. It can come from aging, loud noise, ear infections, or even certain medications.
When the tiny hair cells in your inner ear weaken, sound loses its clarity—voices blur, and conversations become exhausting.
With a simple hearing evaluation, our specialists can uncover what’s causing your loss and guide you toward the best path to clearer hearing.
