Roberts Hearing Clinic has audiologists providing diagnostic services in Alexandria, LA.
Diagnostic hearing tests help check how well you hear and find out if there are any problems with your ears. These tests help your audiologist understand the type, level, and cause of your hearing loss. With this information, we can recommend the best treatment-like hearing aids, medical care, or other hearing solutions.
We offer diagnostic services for the following hearing conditions.
Tinnitus
Tinnitus is a ringing, buzzing, or hissing sound in your ears that doesn’t come from anything around you. If you hear these sounds often, a tinnitus evaluation can help find out what’s causing it and how to treat it.
During your visit, your audiologist will ask about your symptoms, test your hearing, and use special tools to see how tinnitus affects your hearing and daily life. Treatment may include sound therapy, hearing aids, or relaxation exercises.
If tinnitus is bothering you, schedule a tinnitus evaluation today. We ’re here to help you feel better.
