Comprehensive Hearing Examinations

Know exactly what’s happening with your hearing.

You can’t solve what you don’t measure. Hearing loss is often gradual, and you may not realize how much it’s affecting your communication. Without accurate testing, you risk missing early signs of hearing loss, living with constant frustration, or pursuing the wrong treatment.

Here’s how it works: 

• Precise Testing: Our licensed audiologists use a carefully calibrated audiometer to measure the softest levels you can detect across different tones, as well as your ability to understand speech.
• Duration: A complete hearing examination usually takes 15–30 minutes. Occasionally, additional testing is performed to identify specific conditions that may be affecting your hearing.
• Clear Results and Next Steps: Once the exam is complete, we’ll counsel you on the results so you fully understand how your hearing is impacting communication.
• Advanced Treatment Options: Hearing loss has many possible causes. Some conditions may be treated through medical or surgical intervention. If that’s the case, we’ll refer you to a trusted local ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor). More commonly, hearing aids are the most effective treatment. If they’re recommended, we’ll guide you through all the options available.

Hearing Aid Evaluation

Find the solution that truly fits you.

Hearing loss affects everyone differently. After your diagnosis, we take time to learn about your listening needs, lifestyle, physical abilities, and personal concerns. That way, our recommendation is tailored to you.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Our audiologists will walk you through different options and provide demonstrations of the technology and styles available. You’ll see and hear the differences for yourself.

Pricing is always fair and upfront. We never use high-pressure tactics that are far too common elsewhere. We also work with most insurance providers. If your plan includes hearing aid benefits, we’ll verify them for you and submit claims on your behalf.

Hearing Aid Fitting & Follow-Up

Start strong and keep improving.

Even the best hearing aids will not work properly without precise fitting and ongoing support. 

If devices are programmed incorrectly or left unchecked, you’ll experience the repercussions, including discomfort and discouragement. If your hearing aids are comfortable, you will use them and benefit, versus putting them in a drawer and forgetting about them. 

Here’s how it works: 

• Personalized Programming
  Once you’ve chosen your hearing aids, we order them and schedule your fitting. During this appointment, your devices are programmed precisely to match your hearing loss.
• Hands-On Training
  We’ll walk you through how to insert and remove your aids, change batteries, clean them, and maintain them properly. It’s a lot of information, but we make sure you leave confident — not overwhelmed.
• Built-In Follow-Up Care
  Your hearing journey doesn’t stop at the fitting. Most patients need adjustments as they adapt to new sounds. You’ll come back within 1–2 weeks for fine-tuning, again at 1 month, and then every 6 months for ongoing cleaning and checks.
• Risk-Free Trial
  Every hearing aid purchase includes a 60-day trial period. If you’re not satisfied, you can return them for a full refund.

Tinnitus Care

Find relief from the ringing in your ears.

Living with tinnitus is exhausting. The constant ringing, buzzing, or hissing in your ears makes it hard to concentrate, enjoy quiet moments, or fall asleep. For some, it’s just a distraction. For others, it feels overwhelming, interfering with work, relationships, and daily peace of mind.

Without support, tinnitus can lead to a sense of helplessness. Too many people are told they “just have to live with it.”

We know that is not enough, so Dr. Strong, who specializes in tinnitus, provides proven strategies to help you manage symptoms, reduce stress, and regain control. From advanced diagnostic testing to counselling and treatment plans, we help you take back your quality of life.

How It Works

• Assessment
  We begin with a comprehensive hearing evaluation to identify potential causes of your tinnitus and assess its impact on your daily life.
  
• Personalized Counseling
  We explain what tinnitus is, why you’re experiencing it, and what options are available. Understanding the condition often reduces some of the stress it creates.
• Treatment Options
  Depending on your needs, your plan may include:

1. Sound therapy to mask or retrain your response to tinnitus.
2. Hearing aids with integrated tinnitus features.
3. Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) is designed to help your brain “tune out” the ringing.

• Ongoing Support
  Managing tinnitus is a process, not a one-time appointment. We provide follow-up care to adjust your treatment and help you stay on track toward relief.

Real Ear Measurements

Are your hearing aids performing for your anatomy?

Ear canal shapes vary, and that changes how sound reaches your eardrum. Without precise verification, amplification may not match your prescription.

If your devices aren’t measured and adjusted for your ear, you may never hear the full benefit, even with top technology.

How it works: 

• Measure Inside the Ear
  We place a tiny microphone in your ear canal alongside the hearing aid to measure the exact amount of sound reaching your eardrum.
• Adjust for Precision
  Using this data, we fine-tune your hearing aids to match your prescribed amplification so they perform exactly as intended.

Hearing Aid Cleaning & Repairs

Keep your devices working like new.

Hearing aids are small electronics exposed to earwax, moisture, and daily wear, so breakdowns happen. Like all electronic devices, hearing aids need routine maintenance for optimal performance.

We provide thorough cleanings and can troubleshoot most issues right here in our office, even if you didn’t buy your devices from us. If a repair requires manufacturer service, we’ll ship them overnight to minimize your downtime.

All hearing aids purchased through Becker Audiology include a manufacturer’s warranty.

Hearing Aid Reprogramming

Get the most out of the devices you have.

Perhaps you have recently moved to the community, inherited a pair of hearing aids, or are dissatisfied with your current provider. Devices that aren’t programmed correctly won’t deliver results. 

If reprogramming is ignored, you’ll settle for subpar performance or stop using your hearing aids altogether.

Our audiologists can reprogram your hearing aids, regardless of where you purchased them, so you can maximize their potential and hear clearly again and to get the full benefit of the technology you already own.

Custom Hearing Protection & Musician’s Plugs

Protect your hearing without compromising sound quality.

Loud noise,  from gunshots to factory floors to rock concerts, is a leading cause of hearing loss and can cause permanent damage. Standard earplugs may block volume but distort sound.

Without proper protection, you risk permanent noise-induced hearing loss, or, for musicians, muffled and distorted music that kills your craft.

How It Works

Assess Your Needs
Store-bought earmuffs and foam plugs can help in certain situations, but many people need a custom solution for better comfort and long-term protection. If you’re exposed to noise regularly at work, during recreation, or while performing, we guide you through the choice for custom protection.

Take an Impression
We create an earmold impression of your ear to design custom-molded earplugs. This ensures a superior fit, comfort, and protection tailored to you.

Choose the Right Option

• Custom earplugs provide reliable protection for occupational and recreational noise exposure.
• Custom musician’s plugs include specialized filters that reduce dangerous noise levels while preserving the richness and balance of music.

Enjoy Protection
With a personalized fit and the right filter, you’ll have the protection you need without sacrificing comfort or sound quality.
