We take pride in helping individuals understand speech. This starts with the proper function of hearing devices.

To ensure your hearing aids are working properly, we provide a clean and check service.

This includes disinfecting the hearing aid and earmold if applicable and vacuuming any debris found on and in the hearing aid openings.

We replace any components of the hearing device which are worn or not functioning. The most common pieces we replace are the dome, wax filter, and receiver wire.

A listening check is performed using the Ling sounds to ensure no distortion is noted. The most important is the verification of function using test box measures from VeriFit.

We place the hearing aid in a test cavity during this test and present a speech sound sample. This sound sample includes all the sounds you would hear in the English language.

We measure the output of the hearing device according to that sound sample. This allows us to measure how the hearing devices are functioning across the whole speech range.

To schedule a clean & check with our team at West Coast Hearing & Balance Center, contact your local office today.

Happy World Hearing Day!👂🌍

Although, as audiologists, we raise our voices for healthy hearing every day - we love any excuse to hone in on the reasons why so many people still have untreated hearing loss.

Hearing loss is rarely discussed because it is a disability that is easily adaptable; it continues to have the stigma of "getting older," and those that have hearing loss are not informed of the benefits of treating it.

Dr. Lance Nelson shares his experience of hereditary hearing loss with us. He explains the difference that he witnessed between his grandfather leaving his hearing loss untreated and his father, who sought the help he needed and got hearing aids.

So, if you have a loved one, friend, or co-worker who shows signs of hearing loss, why not encourage them to take the first step in addressing their problem?

Our team of experts would be more than happy to help.🙏

Contact your local office to make an appointment👉https://zcu.io/mwfC.

Dr. Nelson is experienced in working with infants, children, and adults, is Board Certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, and is a Fellow of the California Academy of Audiology.

He is fluent in Spanish, and his hobbies are ocean sports, running, and music. 😃

We are blessed to have you on the team, Lance!

Hearing aids provide some incredible benefits leading to a more independent and rewarding lifestyle. To reap these benefits, they need to perform as designed.

Initially, coming to terms with a hearing loss is one of our patients' biggest challenges on their journey to better hearing.

Acceptance is key, but we understand it isn't easy. Speaking to a loved one about their potential hearing loss in a sensitive and empathetic manner could encourage them to take that first step in seeking help.

Our team of experts has experience in helping new patients address their hearing loss, and we would be more than happy to help you or a loved one.

Call us today to schedule an initial consultation with one of our friendly audiologists, a baseline test will confirm what/if they are any issues, and options for your next steps.
