Atlantic Hearing Care is an audiology and hearing aid clinic with expert audiologists that provides comprehensive hearing care services, hearing tests, and advanced hearing solutions in Swampscott and Peabody, MA.
Our team of audiologists is always on hand with the latest in hearing technology so you can always be ready to have THE BEST conversations of your life.
If you need a new hearing aid, we work with all major manufacturers to give each patient the best possible option available in the industry.
We offer audiology services for the following:
Hearing Evaluations
The first step in any treatment plan is to have a basic hearing evaluation. Results of the evaluation reveal the type, degree and nature of your hearing loss.
Additional tests look at how your ears and brain process information, how you tolerate and hear in noise, and how much effort you put into hearing. This approach helps us select and program the best hearing support for your success.
Hearing Aid Services
Results of your hearing profile using the hearing evaluation and lifestyle assessment are used to select the best style, features and level of technology for you to try. We follow best practice of performing real ear measurement to adjust the hearing aids while programming for your maximum hearing benefit across multiple listening situations. We work with you over several sessions as you adapt to the new way of hearing. We are with you every step of the way with guidance and support.
Ongoing Care & Service
Our Total Listening Care program includes office visits and supplies to keep you hearing at your best and routine maintenance checks of your devices to protect your investment. When necessary, we will re-evaluate your hearing and re-program your devices to match current hearing requirements. We offer service plans for hearing aids purchased elsewhere and can typically service most types and brands of aids.
Cochlear Implant Services
When even the most powerful hearing aids are no longer beneficial we provide the specialized evaluation needed to determine if a cochlear implant is indicated. If results suggest you are a candidate we refer you to a specialty ear surgeon for the implant, which is generally a day surgery. You return to us within about a month for activation of your device and to begin the process of relearning to hear!
Tinnitus Evaluation and Management
Tinnitus is a condition where you can hear ringing, buzzing, hissing, or other sounds when no actual noise is audible. Tinnitus might affect one ear or both ears and may also impede how well you can hear things around you.
It’s important for patients to know that they are not alone with their tinnitus, and Atlantic Hearing Care is here to help. Our audiologists can assess the severity of your problem in order to recommend a treatment plan that will work best for you.
Aural Rehabilitation
The process of retaining your brain to adapt to hearing aids and cochlear implants does not happen overnight. You may require additional training and support resources. We can share some printed and online materials.
Hyperacusis
Hyperacusis is a condition characterized by an increased sensitivity to everyday sounds, leading to pain or discomfort.
An audiologist may diagnose hyperacusis through a clinical interview, assessment of symptoms, and audiological tests to measure sound tolerance levels.
Hearing Loss
Hearing loss refers to a partial or complete decrease in a person’s ability to perceive sounds. It can occur due to different factors, including exposure to loud noise, age, genetic predisposition, certain medical conditions, or medications.
To diagnose hearing loss, audiologists will primarily conduct a comprehensive evaluation. This evaluation may include a physical examination of the ears, a review of medical history, a hearing test (audiometry), and possibly additional diagnostic tests, such as otoacoustic emissions testing or tympanometry.
These tests help determine the type, degree, and configuration of hearing loss, as well as any underlying causes.
Atlantic Hearing Care provides comprehensive evaluations to diagnose and assess the severity of hearing loss.
Meniere’s Disease
Meniere’s disease can be diagnosed by an audiologist through a comprehensive evaluation of symptoms, medical history, and a series of tests such as pure-tone audiometry, and speech audiometry.
Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Sensorineural hearing loss is a type of hearing loss that occurs due to damage in the auditory nerve pathways or inner ear. It is the most common type of hearing loss and can be caused by aging, genetic predisposition, noise exposure, certain medications, or underlying medical conditions.
To diagnose sensorineural hearing loss, an audiologist will typically perform a comprehensive evaluation. This may include a thorough medical history and lifestyle check, a physical examination, and hearing tests such as pure-tone audiometry, speech audiometry, otoacoustic emissions (OAE), or auditory brainstem response (ABR).
