Each patient is unique.

Along with Dr. Freedman’s help, we can treat a wide scope of hearing loss and tinnitus. As doctors of Audiology, we are uniquely qualified to diagnose and treat hearing loss. Each person’s auditory function varies based on the listening environments they encounter. We take a holistic approach to evaluating each person’s needs and lifestyle.

We understand good communication enhances relationships with loved ones, friends and acquaintances.

Our audiologists, Bridget K. Block, Au.D. and Katie Klewin, Au.D. certainly administer comprehensive hearing evaluations for both pediatric and adult patients.

The audiologists work closely with Dr. Freedman to arrive at the assessment of hearing impairment as well determination of site of the lesion in the auditory pathway. This can help determine what options are available to treat the patient’s hearing loss.

Our audiologists provide solutions for hearing impairments in patients of all age groups with use of aural rehabilitation and only the most premium hearing aid technology available. They also can create custom hearing protection in order to help prevent noise-induced hearing loss. They have a high education in new technological advances including wireless capabilities such as Bluetooth; in addition, many hearing aids will have re-programming done on site. Most hearing aid makes and models will be evaluated and repaired; the hearing instruments may need to be sent off site for repair.

Whether you choose to schedule time to sit down with one of our audiologists to discuss your current hearing aids, personal difficulties with communication or new hearing devices, they are here to help.
