Evaluation & Consultation

Services at RK Audiology include hearing evaluations and the programming and repair of all major brands of hearing instruments, including Lyric Hearing, Oticon, Phonak, Resound, Signia, Starkey, and Widex.

To evaluate the performance of hearing instruments, we use Real Ear Measurement, Speech Mapping, and the latest programming software.

Our audiologists utilize Video Otoscopy – state-of-the-art equipment allowing both you and the audiologist to view your ears with a small camera that transmits images to a larger screen. We provide ear cleaning (earwax removal), ear impressions, and the fitting of custom hearing earmolds, earplugs, and headphones.

Have tinnitus (ringing, buzzing in the ears)? Our audiologists will evaluate, counsel, and offer treatment options for finding relief from your tinnitus.
