The services which we offer fall into distinct categories which are listed below. Please click on the service which is of interest to you. A brief description follows. For more information, you might check the "Hearing Library" link in our main menu, or call us directly to discuss a procedure or service.
- Audiometric Evaluations: Adults
Comprehensive hearing test which includes air- and bone-conduction, speech audiometry, and immittance audiometry. A complete audiological examination is the basic hearing examination. It consists of pure tone testing by air- and bone conduction, speech audiometry (speech reception and speech discrimination) and immittance audiometry (tympanometry and acoustic reflex testing). This type of examination is the starting point for many other procedures and the first step in the fitting of hearing aids.
- Hearing Aid: Sales & Service
Hearing Aids - We offer a wide selection of hearing aids, including digital processing and digitally programmable, from a variety of manufacturers. We will work with you to find the best solution for your hearing healthcare needs within your budget. We also offer a two month trial period to give you ample time to acclimate and adjust to your new devices. Plus, if you are not satisfied with your purchase we will either try something different, or give your money back. Hearing Associates has a two year loss & damage warranty on all of the hearing aids we fit, which means if you lose or damage your hearing aid in anyway we will repair it at no charge. However, if you lose your hearing aid there is a $200.00 dollar deductible per aid that we will honor one time only. Don’t worry though, we will teach you good strategies to hold onto your aids.
Repair All Makes - We can get your hearing aid repaired quickly at a reasonable cost and give you a loaner hearing aid to use until yours comes back.
- Hearing Aid Evaluations
At the hearing aid evaluation, Dr. Schachterle and Mr. Molina will determine which type of hearing aid is best for you and your unique needs, including the style, circuit, and number of hearing aids necessary. This choice should reflect your needs, preferences, and budget, including your lifestyle and activity level, medical conditions, physical characteristics and limitations, cosmetic and style preferences, and financial expectations. Dr. Schachterle and Mr. Molina offer a complete hearing aid consultation and fitting services. When a hearing aid is warranted, we provide the necessary audiological tests, the fitting of the instrument(s), and follow up. We believe that family support is an important aspect of successful adjustment to a hearing aid. For this reason, we encourage family involvement in the fitting process.
We offer a full array of the most contemporary digital and conventional instruments.
Please call us with any question concerning the fitting process, warranties and loss policies, the initial trial period (60 days), or any other question that might be of concern to you.
- Tinnitus Diagnostics & Management
Many people experience ringing or other noise in the ear or head. We will evaluate the nature of this noise, make appropriate medical referrals, and discuss possibilities in management, such as tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT).
- Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs): FM Systems
We offer information and guidance on use of assistive listening devices, such as amplified telephones, FM transmitter systems, and infrared systems. These systems serve as additional help in situations when hearing aids do not provide the necessary assistance. We will either order the device in which you are interested, or give you the information to order on your own.
