Audiology

Audiology focuses on a patient’s hearing and balance problems. Our team at LCMC Health Neuroscience Institute will help you discover the root of your hearing loss and balance issues to develop a personalized care plan. No two patients are the same, and each deserves our full attention. Expect this type of care when you visit our medical facilities. For more than 55 years, we have been helping our patients with modern treatments and up-to-date solutions when their ears begin to fail them. We go through continuous education to safeguard you from traditional practices which have been outdated or proven unsuccessful over the years.

Whether your child was born with hearing loss or you are recently noticing issues with day-to-day conversations, the LCMC Health Neuroscience Institute team is here to help. Our audiology experts specialize in the evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and management of hearing disorders of children, seniors, and everyone in between, and will work to create an individualized care plan that works for you.

Hearing troubles come in many different forms, and people of any age can experience them. Whether you work for a live concert venue or have gracefully made it to your prime years, your ears can be affected by hearing loss. There is also a wide range of hearing loss many people experience, and no two cases are the same.
