Our Services

We offer hearing testing, hearing aids, balance testing, and advanced vestibular and electrophysiology testing, all delivered with care and compassion. For testing, we use the latest technology and techniques to provide accurate diagnoses, including pure-tone audiometry, speech audiometry, and tympanometry. We understand everyone is unique, so we take a personalized approach to hearing testing, tailoring our methods to suit each patient's needs.

If hearing loss is detected, we offer affordable and high-end prescriptive hearing aid options to help our patients hear better. We work with top hearing aid manufacturers to provide the most advanced devices on the market, including those with Bluetooth connectivity and rechargeable batteries. Our audiologists take the time to educate our patients on their options and help them select the hearing aids that best fit their lifestyle and budget.

In addition to hearing testing and hearing aids, we also offer balance testing at our practice. We understand that balance issues can be frightening and significantly impact a person's quality of life. That's why we offer advanced vestibular testing, which includes a variety of tests to evaluate the function of the inner ear and the brain's ability to interpret sensory information. We also offer electrophysiology testing, which measures the brain's and nervous system's electrical activity in response to auditory stimuli.

At our practice, our patients are more than just a set of symptoms or test results. We take the time to get to know each patient and their unique needs, and we work with them to develop a customized treatment plan that addresses their specific concerns. We are committed to ongoing communication with our patients to ensure that they are satisfied and are seeing the results they desire.

We care.

We genuinely care about our patients. Since 2007, we have been serving our local community with a commitment to exceptional care and personalized attention. Our practice is family-owned, with a husband and wife audiology team leading our team of experienced professionals.

Patients deserve the best possible care, which is why our providers are not only highly skilled diagnosticians but also have excellent bedside manner. We understand that hearing loss and balance issues can be daunting, and we strive to make our patients feel comfortable and supported throughout their journey to better hearing health.

What Are the Duties of an Audiologist?

Our office is comfortable and easy-to-access

Our Rockville location has plenty of free parking, and our suite has recently undergone a space upgrade to provide a comfortable and relaxing environment for our patients to receive care. We understand that hearing loss can be a challenging and frustrating experience, and we strive to make improving hearing as comfortable and convenient as possible. Our friendly, compassionate, and knowledgeable professionals are committed to providing personalized care and attention to each of our patients.

Insurance

We understand that cost can be a major concern for many patients seeking hearing healthcare. That's why we make it a priority to accept most insurances, including Medicare and Medicaid so that we can provide care to a broad range of patients. We believe that everyone should have access to the best possible care for their hearing health, and we strive to make that a reality for our patients.
