The benefits of this center

The purpose of the diagnostic tests is to evaluate the extent of hearing loss. Once this is determined, appropriate steps can be made to help patients enhance their communication

How to begin the program

For all diagnostic testing, a physician referral is required

The stages of the program

  • Stage 1: Patient will have a comprehensive hearing evaluation to determine the extent of hearing loss
  • Stage 2: The audiologist will consult with the referring physician to discuss their findings.
  • Stage 3: Patients will go through a hearing aid evaluation to determine which hearing device best serves their needs.
  • Stage 4: Patient will be fitted for a hearing aid.

Please note: Not all patients will need to go through all four stages.
