Welcome to Audio Hearing Center!
Hearing Aids and Audiology in Lowell and North Andover, MA
Hearing Testing
We provide comprehensive diagnostic audiological evaluation for infants, children, and adults, including tympanometry, acoustic reflex testing, otoacoustic emission testing, and OSHA screenings.
Hearing tests are done for several reasons. They help determine how much hearing is present, what frequencies of the hearing range are affected, the probable type of hearing loss, changes that may continue to occur over time, and whether or not hearing aids will be of benefit. The shape of the hearing loss will often help the audiologist determine what kind of amplification will be needed. Hearing tests provided by audiologists are a basic measure of hearing sensitivity, and are often used as part of a test battery to assess overall hearing health. Most often, insurance companies offer hearing testing by a licensed audiologist as a covered benefit, as it is a diagnostic evaluation. We will be happy to help you assess your coverage.
Hearing Aid Sales and Services
We offer state-of-the-art hearing aid technology at competitive prices, as well as fitting, follow-up care, repair, and service. After the complete audiological evaluation, the audiologist has a good picture of the hearing system and is able to proceed to the next step, which is evaluation for the need of hearing aids and their fitting. During the post-exam consultation, you will be asked a series of questions regarding your hearing needs, your lifestyle, and your motivation to use amplification. Questions regarding your ability to manipulate small objects and whether you have vision problems will also be reviewed. These questions will help the audiologist determine what features and benefits will best meet your needs.
Organizational Consultations
Thank you so much for giving me back the man I married. It is so nice to be able to converse without screaming and to attend social events with a partner that can hear and respond appropriately. Many, many thanks for your great service and help.
