Harrisonburg Hearing Services

At Harrisonburg Hearing Services, we offer diagnostic audiological evaluations and refer to the appropriate physicians for medical follow up as needed. We are well trained and experienced in all hearing aid technologies available, from the most basic analog circuits to the highly sophisticated advanced digital devices. Assessments regarding the level of amplification that would be best suited to our patients are generally completed following a comprehensive hearing evaluation by a qualified hearing health care professional.

We also actively participate in the prevention of hearing loss through the provision and fitting of hearing protective devices, consultation on the effects of noise on hearing, and consumer education. Assistive Listening Devices: TV Listening Systems, Amplified Telephones and Alarm & Alert Devices can be a great addition to your home whether you wear hearing aids or not.

Hearing Protection:
Protecting your hearing from harmful noise is important to preserving your hearing clarity. The majority of people who experience a loss in hearing clarity have that loss because they have not effectively protected their ears—this is called “Noise Induced Hearing Loss”. Everyday noise that can harm your ears includes: power tools, chainsaws, woodworking equipment, lawnmowers, construction or industrial equipment, firearms, recreational noise – motorcycles, speedboats To protect your ears, wear earplugs or earmuffs.

Custom Ear Plugs:
For extra comfort and protection, we can provide you with custom earplugs that will conform specifically to your ear canals and can be customized to provide you with the right protection for specific noise environments. Hunters earplugs feature a valve that closes in the presence of impact noise. This allows shooters to hear clearly until the weapon is fired and still have some custom hearing protection from the gunfire. Other specialty custom ear plugs include those for pilots, motorcyclists, military personnel and more.

Custom Swim Molds:
These custom molds help reduce the amount of water that enters into the outer ear canal. This type of mold may be recommended for patients with external or middle ear precautions or tubes in the ear drum. These molds are recommended for swimmers and surfers as well.

Custom Ear Pieces for Musicians and Listeners:
For active people who love their music and want to upgrade from the ear buds or head phones that they already use with their iPod or MP3 player, Custom Musicians’ Ear Pieces or Ear Buds offer a clear, custom listening experience. They fit comfortably and their sound quality is outstanding. Hearing Health & Hearing Loss: Hearing is one of our most vital senses. Whether we consciously realize it or not, it allows us to connect with our friends, colleagues and family, it alerts us to dangers, and it delights us with the sounds of music, raindrops, and singing birds.
