If transportation or mobility are limiting your need to see a hearing specialist, or if you need routine ear health, AV Audiology and Hearing can help.
A licensed Audiologist with over 30 years experience can visit your home to:
*Check for ear wax
*Conduct a comprehensive hearing exam
*Provide hearing aid consultations
*Fit or adjust your hearing aids
Hearing Testing
Adriana Villalobos MA, CCC-A, provides at home hearing tests using state of the art equipment paired with noise reducing earphones to obtain accurate results. The hearing test includes pure tone and bone conduction testing as well as speech recognition testing to accurately access auditory function.
Hearing Aid Consultation
If testing demonstrates a hearing loss, Adriana will program a pair of fully digital hearing devices to the current hearing loss to allow you to experience the potential benefits of amplification. The at-home experience allows for the most accurate assessment of the potential benefits allowing the patient to listen in their natural environment with the people and objects they interact with daily.
Hearing Aid Fitting and Dispensing
Following the hearing aid demonstration custom measurements will be taken and appropriate amplification will be selected based on the individuals’ listening demands, lifestyle, and budget.
Hearing Aid Repairs and Adjustments
Adriana is available seven days a week for in home repairs and adjustments to help maintain uninterrupted hearing.
Tinnitus Management
Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, is the sensation of hearing ringing, buzzing, hissing, chirping, whistling or other sounds. The noise can be intermittent or continuous and can vary in loudness. Approximately 15-20% of the general population is affected and 80% of tinnitus patients have some evidence of hearing loss. By using tinnitus therapy in combination with an educational, counseling and stress-reduction program, patients can decrease the degree to which their tinnitus negatively impacts their quality of life.
Custom Hearing Protection
According to OSHA, noise-related hearing loss has been listed as one of the most prevalent occupational health concerns in the United States for more than 25 years. Exposure to high levels of noise can cause permanent hearing loss. Loud noise can also create physical and psychological stress, reduce productivity, interfere with communication and concentration. Adriana Villalobos can provide custom hearing protection that can be uniquely created for musicians, motor sport enthusiasts, occupational work exposure, and hunting.
Aural Rehabilitation
Adriana will pair high quality hearing devices with listening strategies and exercises to help maximize the hearing benefit and help with the adjustment period. Get the most out of your hearing aids with our in-home aural rehabilitation program. We have developed a hearing program based on highly accredited research which consists of hearing exercises and listening techniques to help improve speech understanding in difficult situations.
