Diagnostic Audiological Evaluation
This evaluation is the first step to assess your ability to hear and to examine the health of your ears. Procedures include otoscopy, middle-ear analysis, acoustic reflex testing, air and bone conduction pure tone threshold testing, word recognition/speech testing and otoacoustic emissions. We check the hearing of all age levels, newborn to 100+ years with state of the art diagnostic equipment. -

Hearing aids have advanced in size and noise reduction capabilities, allowing the wearer a greater chance of reaching their optimal hearing without bringing attention to their hearing aids. We guarantee a 30-day trial period with all hearing aids at no charge. -
Hearing Aid Service & Repair
Hearing aid service and repairs are provided for most makes and models, including cleaning and functional checks of the devices. -
Tinnitus Management Services
TINNITUS is pronounced either ti-NIGHT-us or TIN-i-tus. Both pronunciations are correct; the American Tinnitus Association uses ti-NIGHT-us. The word is of Latin origin, meaning "to tinkle or to ring like a bell." Put simply, tinnitus is the perception of sound in the ears or head where no external source is present. Some call it "ringing in the ears" or "head noise" (American Tinnitus Association). Dr. Perry will assist you in addressing your tinnitus and provide options for relief. -
Auditory Processing Evaluation Auditory processing is a term used to describe what happens when your brain recognizes and interprets the sounds around you. Some people with normal hearing ability often complain that they can hear, but just can’t understand what is being said. Full diagnostic evaluations, with a team of specialist, are available.
-
Vestibular (Balance) Assessments
Balance assessments for the dizzy patient may facilitate treatment and rehabilitation. The ability to maintain balance is closely linked to our ears, and can often be related to some hearing loss. -
Earmolds, Swim Molds & Hearing Protection Devices
Custom swimplugs, earmolds, earplugs, and earbuds for personal listening equipment are available in a variety of colors and materials. -
