Services

Hearing and balance services for
patients of all ages.

What can you expect from your initial visit to our office?

First and foremost you are treated with respect. All patients are unique and individual and will be treated as such. If you are not greeted with a smile, let us know!
During this visit, you will provide us with basic information as well as your insurance information. We will be asking you for background information, and you’ll be given a comprehensive audiological evaluation (hearing examination). This is not the same as a hearing screening that may be offered free at other offices.
You should expect to initially spend 1 to 1.5 hours for your initial visit.
Should you have a hearing loss, we will enter your hearing loss into the computer and program a set of hearing aids that we feel best fit your loss and lifestyle. You should be able to hear the difference immediately!
We will offer you several different price ranges to choose from.
You may even qualify for a free two-week trial on hearing devices.
What is the best instrument for you? One you will wear!
Once you have decided on instruments, you’ll make a down payment and then have an additional 45 days to decide if they are right for you!
At the end of the trial period, you’ll then pay the remainder of the balance.
We also offer CareCredit financing for patients who prefer a payment plan.
We recommend and schedule all of our patients for quarterly cleanings.
As always, you are greeted with a smile.Scheduled cleanings and visits are at no charge while your instrument is under warranty with the manufacturer.

Hearing Aid Repair

Hearing devices are used about 16 hours a day, 7 days a week. With that amount of use, it’s important to keep them well maintained and functioning properly. At Uhring’s, we offer full hearing device cleanings and adjustments so that you are able to get the most out of your hearing investment.

If something does happen to your hearing devices, bring them in! We are able to repair all the major hearing device brands right in our office.

We are proud to be your exclusive local CQ Partners provider. Many standard hearing aid warranties only last 1-3 years depending on the model of hearing aid. The CQ Partners 4-Year Warranty covers any CQ Partners device for 4 full years regardless of the model. That’s 4 years of service, repairs, cleanings and adjustments at no additional cost to you.

Auditory Processing Disorder Diagnosis and Treatment

Auditory processing disorder (APD), also known as central auditory processing disorder (CAPD), is a complex problem that limits the way people process the information they hear. There is a disconnect between the ears and the brain, and a breakdown in receiving, remembering, understanding, and using auditory information. In other words, the brain can’t hear.

Symptoms include:

Difficulties with reading, spelling and phonics
Grades that do not reflect the time or effort exerted
Frustrations with hearing in noisy environments
Difficulties with multiple-step directions or memory
Challenges understanding the intent of a joke or sarcasm

APD is often missed or misdiagnosed as attention deficit disorder, and can prevent children from learning effectively, as they cannot hear individual words and have a slow processing speed.
