Our Services
Dr. Monica B. Mennite, the Hearing Center’s resident audiologist, specializes in the evaluation and treatment of individuals with hearing and balance disorders. She works with everyone from infants through adults to determine medical referral to physicians when a hearing problem needs medical or surgical intervention. Our Doctor of Audiology is trained to offer comprehensive hearing evaluations, hearing aid consultations, hearing rehabilitation, tinnitus management counseling, balance and dizzy testing and rehabilitation. We also offer a hearing aid lab that is always available for walk-in appointments. All of our patients have the convenience of stopping by the lab to see our wonderful audiology assistant, Laura, for hearing aid cleanings, minor repairs and troubleshooting. To hear more information about any of our services, we welcome you to stop by and talk with us at your convenience.
Some of our tests:
- • Diagnostic Hearing Evaluations and Consultations coupled with speech testing are used to rule out any medically treatable causes of hearing loss.
- • Otoacoustic Emissions measures sounds produced by the components of the inner ear.
- • Middle Ear Evaluations (Acoustic immittance measures) - determines if a middle ear problem may be contributing to or causing your hearing loss and whether you need medical refer or not.
- • Balance and Dizziness Testing (Videonystagmography) is used to determine if a patient's dizziness or balance disorders is caused by the inner ear or other factors such as the brain, medical disorders, or psychological problems.
- • Electrophysiology Studies (Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) and Electrocochleography (EcochG)) are used to diagnose possible problems involving the hearing nerve and to examine electrical potentials in the ear.
