The OAE (Oto-acoustic Emission) test measures inner ear function by detecting sounds produced by the cochlea's outer hair cells in response to sound stimuli. It's noninvasive and used primarily for infants and children to screen for hearing issues, indicating normal or potential hearing problems based on the presence or absence of emissions.
The BERA (Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry) test assesses the auditory system from the ear to the brainstem. It uses electrodes to measure electrical responses to sound stimuli, helping diagnose hearing loss and disorders in newborns and non-cooperative patients without requiring active participation.
Tympanometry, a form of impedance audiometry, measures eardrum movement in response to air pressure changes, assessing middle ear function. It helps diagnose issues like fluid buildup or eardrum stiffness by generating a tympanogram, which graphs compliance against pressure, aiding in diagnosing middle ear pathologies.
Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) is a behavioral hearing test that measures hearing thresholds using pure tones at specific frequencies. It assesses hearing sensitivity via air and bone conduction, identifying the type and degree of hearing loss, and is plotted on an audiogram for diagnosis and management.
The Auditory Steady-State Response (ASSR) test is an objective, non-invasive hearing assessment using electrophysiology. It measures brain responses to repeated sound stimuli, typically at frequencies like 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz, to estimate hearing thresholds, especially in non-cooperative patients like infants or those with developmental disabilities.
Behind-the-Ear (BTE) hearing aids sit behind the ear, connected to an earmold or dome via a tube. They are versatile, suitable for all hearing loss levels, and offer features like Bluetooth connectivity, tele-coil, and longer battery life. They are easy to handle and less prone to moisture buildup.
RIC (Receiver-in-Canal) hearing aids are discreet, worn behind the ear with a speaker in the ear canal. They offer natural sound, reduce feedback, and are suitable for mild to profound hearing loss. Popular models includes features like Bluetooth connectivity and rechargeable batteries.
Completely-in-Canal (CIC) hearing aids are custom-made, discreet devices that fit entirely within the ear canal. They offer natural sound, reduced wind noise, and are ideal for mild to moderate hearing loss. CIC aids are nearly invisible.
Invisible-in-Canal (IIC) hearing aids are the smallest, most discreet devices, fitting entirely inside the ear canal. They are ideal for mild to moderate hearing loss, offering natural sound quality and advanced noise reduction technology. Custom-made for each ear, they are nearly invisible to others.
Our experts will help you find the right hearing aid solution through personalized fitting sessions, ensuring comfort and optimal performance.
Try your hearing aids in various real-world environments to ensure they meet your specific needs before making a final decision.
Our trial period allows you to adapt to your new hearing aids with professional support and guidance throughout the process.
A cochlear implant is an electronic medical device that replaces the function of the damaged inner ear. Unlike hearing aids, which amplify sound, cochlear implants bypass the damaged portions of the ear to directly stimulate the auditory nerve.
The cochlear implant surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2-4 hours. Our team works closely with surgeons to ensure proper placement and functionality.
After implantation, our specialists provide comprehensive rehabilitation to help patients adapt to the new way of hearing, with particular focus on speech recognition and communication skills.
We provide scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your hearing devices.
Our team offers comprehensive maintenance services to ensure your hearing devices remain in optimal condition, including cleaning, battery replacement, and repairs.
We conduct periodic assessments to evaluate your hearing progress and adjust treatment plans as needed to ensure you receive the maximum benefit from your hearing devices.
Our telehealth services allow you to connect with our hearing specialists from the comfort of your home, providing convenient access to expert care regardless of your location.
Access our online support resources and virtual consultations for quick assistance with any hearing-related concerns or questions you may have.
