Cerumen Removal
Cerumen (earwax) can build-up inside the ear canal, causing discomfort and muffled hearing. Our audiologists can safely and effectively remove impacted earwax at any of our office locations. Using a variety of methods, we can efficiently remove earwax using mechanical tools, suction, and even irrigation using the Earigator.
The Earigator nozzle flushes body temperature water into the ear canal, dislodging impacted earwax. This method is pain free, quick, and highly effective. If you have clogged ears due to earwax, contact us to schedule an ear exam.
Tinnitus Treatment
Tinnitus is the perception of sound in your ears or head when no external sound is present. If you hear a buzzing, hissing, ringing, or whistling sound in your ears, you are not alone. Some people experience tinnitus on a temporary basis, for only a few seconds at a time while others may experience it constantly. Tinnitus itself is not a disease, but rather a symptom of another condition. Causes can include:
- Hearing loss
- Earwax build-up
- Loud noise exposure
- Stress
- Meniere’s disease
- Head or neck injury
- Certain medications
We can assess the severity of your tinnitus as part of a comprehensive hearing exam. We also offer individualized solutions, including hearing instruments that can help distract your brain from the symptoms of tinnitus. Contact us today if you would like to stop the ringing in your ears.
Real-Ear Measurements
If the results of your audiogram determine you could be helped by hearing aids, our audiologists use real ear measurement to ensure your devices fit precisely to your needs. Real ear measurement involves placing a small microphone in the patient’s ear canal to measure the sound levels of their hearing aids. This allows our team to fine-tune the settings of the device to ensure it provides the optimal level of amplification for your prescriptive needs.
