- Custom ear plugs
- Ear tube surgery
- Hearing assessments and vestibular (balance) testing
- Hearing-aid evaluations and fittings, and assistive listening devices
We also provide education for long-term management, as well as referrals to specialized doctors, therapists and other clinicians for multidisciplinary care.
