Audiology & Hearing Aid Services
MercyOne audiologists are experts in diagnosing, treating and managing hearing loss. Through specialized, auditory assessments and an understanding of patient health history, they are able to determine a personalized care plan to ensure your needs are met.
The first step in treating hearing problems is performing a hearing evaluation by an audiologist.
Hearing impairments affect people of all ages and can be difficult for a person to recognize. Calibrated equipment is utilized in a sound-treated room to obtain accurate results concerning hearing loss.
If a medically treatable hearing loss complication is found, a physician will provide a diagnosis and plan to treat the hearing loss.

Hearing aids are available in a number of styles and colors, and are compatible with Bluetooth technology included with most cell phones. Rechargeable options are available.
