Expert Audiologists

Many patients in the early stages of hearing loss are nervous about where they should purchase hearing aids. They can be unfamiliar with the differences between an audiologist and a Hearing Aid Dispenser who sells aids at a retail hearing aid store. The answer is simple: specialized medical training. Our audiologists follow best practices when fitting and dispensing hearing aids.

Audiologists are trained at colleges and universities. Our audiologists have a minimum of a Doctorate's Degree in Audiology. Audiologists work closely with physicians to accurately evaluate a patient’s hearing and provide individualized medical diagnosis, as well as treatment options to improve hearing and quality of life. All our audiologists are members of the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association, as well as the American Academy of Audiology.
