The Family Hearing Center at The Hearing & Speech Center (HSC) provides comprehensive hearing healthcare to clients of all ages.
HSC audiologists perform diagnostic tests to identify each patient’s type and degree of hearing loss. The exact tests used are determined by the patient’s individual needs and designed to assess specific symptoms and their causes. Following the evaluation, the audiologist helps the patient and their families understand the test results and recommends appropriate steps for further management. This may include a referral to a physician of their choice, early childhood intervention specialists, local school districts, or another one of the following services offered through our clinic.
