Audiology

Genesis Audiology has a wide range of services with licensed, certified staff to offer you the best possible care and to meet the needs of those having trouble hearing.

People of all ages, from infants to seniors, can get hearing tests at Genesis. If you’re diagnosed with hearing loss, a care team will guide you through hearing rehabilitation and fit you for hearing aids.

    Noticeable signs of hearing loss can include difficulty hearing sounds such as birds singing, crickets chirping, doorbells ringing or difficulty hearing someone talk in group conversations. Another sign is pain or ringing in the ears after being exposed to excessively loud sounds. Loud sounds like a firearm or firecracker at 140 to 165 decibels can cause immediate hearing damage. 

    We can also treat and diagnose:

    • Balance problems
    • Hearing loss
    • Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)

    Our audiology department has specialists to help you find the right type of hearing aid for all types of hearing environments. We have more than 35 years of experience helping people improve their hearing.
