Hearing Aid Consultation/ Selection
Discussion about hearing aid options and recommendations after having a comprehensive hearing exam. Recommendations are made based on your current hearing test, features that may be useful to you, and your lifestyle.

For more severe cases, hearing aids may be sent to manufacturer for repair.
Hearing Aid Accessories
Hearing aid accessories such as a partner microphone or TV adapter are great tools to enhance sound quality in addition to hearing aids.
