Baseline Diagnostic Hearing tests are recommended for all adults ages 50+. We offer Baseline Diagnostic Hearing Tests as a complimentary service to our community. Using state-of-the-art technology and research, those at high risk for hearing loss can be detected early, and proper prevention or treatment options can be provided. Don't worry! Unlike other tests, these are noninvasive and painless, and we'll guide you through the process.

At Hearken, we offer comprehensive hearing tests. At your appointment, we’ll have a consultation with you, to learn about your hearing experience, personal medical history, and lifestyle. We’ll administer the hearing tests, during which we’ll play tones and frequencies and measure your ears’ ability to hear them. We’ll also test for speech recognition, a common difficulty with hearing loss.

After the hearing test, we’ll review the results with you, presented on an audiogram. We’ll evaluate your hearing needs and recommend the best course of action moving forward.

Hearken Hearing & Audiology specializes in difficult hearing cases and utilizes both hearing aids and rehabilitative processes to maximize better hearing over time. We work with many different brands including Widex, Oticon, Starkey, Unitron, Phonak, Resound, and Signia.

Whether you are new to hearing aids or a seasoned wearer, you’ll find that there are times your hearing aids are not performing at their best. There are simple ways to clean and troubleshoot hearing aid issues at home, but for bigger issues, it is best to bring them to us for repair.

Hearing aids are sensitive electronic devices, despite their powerful features and functions. Though you may want to take them apart and figure out what’s wrong, keep in mind that hearing aids are not unlike your other sophisticated pieces of technology! We are professionally trained to service hearing aids. Schedule an appointment with us at Hearken and we’ll make sure your hearing aids are in great working order.

These days, hearing aids can be purchased from many sources. Sometimes these products fall short of our expectations. When this happens, many people think it is a product issue, when in truth, it is often a program settings issue. Hearken Hearing & Audiology offers a Risk Free Assessment and reprogramming of hearing aids. If we can’t help you, you don’t pay. We work with a wide range of hearing aid brands and would love to get you hearing your best, even if you didn’t purchase the hearing aids at Hearken.

Earwax has many good purposes, but from time to time, it can produce in unhealthy proportions and should be professionally removed. You will love your experience as we let you watch the process of taking your earwax out on our big screen TV. The ear is a sensitive place, and watching it live can help relieve the stress associated with having someone cleaning your ear.

Tinnitus is a condition that often accompanies hearing loss, or another underlying medical condition. Tinnitus is the experience of hearing sounds without an external stimulus, and it is commonly referred to as “ringing of the ears.” The experience of tinnitus is certainly not a pleasant one: it has been linked to sleep deprivation, stress, anxiety, tension, depression, and fatigue.

If you are experiencing phantom sounds that seem unexplainable, it may be tinnitus. When you visit us at Hearken, we’ll identify the source of your tinnitus and offer solutions to alleviate the symptoms. Though tinnitus is not curable, there are many tinnitus management options to ensure your overall health.

Adults are not the only ones that need their ears checked. Hearing for kids is vital to their development. Whether it be newborn screenings, wax removal, school screening referrals, or a basic hearing test, our providers offer the best care for your little ones

At Hearken, we are serious about ear protection. We understand that once hearing loss occurs, there is no cure. This is why we believe in preventing hearing loss with custom ear protection! In your daily life, you are exposed to a symphony of sounds – from car horns to fire alarms to loud music to construction down the street from your home.

One major cause of hearing loss is exposure to loud noise, and this may happen anywhere, at any time. If you work in a loud environment, such as a factory or construction site, then you may want to consider custom ear protection. Similarly, if you have DIY construction hobbies, enjoy mowing the lawn, or go hunting; custom ear protection ensures that your hearing is intact.

Sure, there are foam or silicon ear plugs, but those still allow dangerous levels of sound to reach your ears. Custom ear protection is just as it sounds – customized from a mold to fit specifically in your ear. This provides a snug fit and great protection from hazardous noise levels. Visit us at Hearken to learn more and be fitted for custom ear protection.

We understand that as a musician, hearing is an integral part of your passion and profession. At the same time, we are fully aware of the dangers of loud noise in a venue or recording studio. In recent years, a number of famous rock and rollers such as AC/DC’s Brian Johnson and The Who’s Pete Townshend have discussed the effects of hearing loss on their careers.

At Hearken, we offer ear pieces specifically designed for musicians. These offer protection from the hazardous sounds while still feeding sounds from the monitor to your ears. With musicians’ ear pieces, you’ll protect your hearing while still pursuing what you love.

Assistive listening devices (ALDs) are designed to give people an extra boost in amplification, especially in environments where it may be difficult to hear. There are many kinds of ALDs to choose from.

If you find yourself having difficulty on the phone, you may want to consider a captioned telephone. If you find yourself struggling to hear at the theatre, there are personal ALDs that capture sounds, amplify them, and feed them to a receiver worn around your neck. ALDs include amplification for home entertainment systems.

Whether you are a hearing aid wearer or simply find yourself needing an extra boost, ask us about our ALDs at Hearken. We’re certain we’ll find an amplification solution just right for you.
