Our Services

At Southeast Kentucky Audiology, we specialize in hearing diagnostics and treatment for infants, children and adults, cochlear implant services, ear wax removal, tinnitus therapy, balance evaluations, and more. Your journey to better hearing begins here.

Hearing Test

Hearing loss can be caused by many different factors. A proper hearing test is the first step in determining the source of the loss and the personal treatment that is designed just for you. We provide hearing tests from birth through adulthood.

Hearing Aid Consultation & Fitting

There is no one-size fits all approach to hearing aid fittings. Your hearing loss is unique to you and so is your prescription for treatment. Depending on your hearing loss, your lifestyle, and budget – we will help you find the perfect hearing aid for you.

Cerumen Removal

Cerumen (earwax) can build-up in your ears and cause a blockage, resulting in temporary hearing loss. Our state of the art Earigator, specially designed to remove cerumen quickly and without pain.

Tinnitus Therapy

Tinnitus or ringing in the ears, is the sensation of hearing ringing, buzzing, chirping, whistling or other sounds. It can be intermittent or constant, and can vary in loudness. No matter how you are affected by tinnitus, one thing is for sure – you want it to stop. The good news is there are numerous tinnitus management tools available so that you don’t have to suffer any longer. Contact us to schedule an appointment to discuss your tinnitus symptoms.

Balance Testing

Patients with chronic balance problems and dizziness can experience a tremendous handicap in their everyday lives. Normal daily activities are often avoided for fear of bringing on an attack of their symptoms, which can include disorientation, lack of balance, light-headedness, swaying, or, in the case of vertigo, a spinning sensation that can be accompanied by nausea.

Cochlear Implant Services

If you have or are a candidate for cochlear implants, we have the experience to work with you to make sure your device is functioning at its highest level.

Cognitive Screenings

Research in recent years has linked hearing health with cognitive health. Patients with an untreated hearing loss are now at a greater risk for cognitive decline. We are now using a Cognivue device to screen our patients’ cognitive health and make appropriate referrals if necessary.

Hearing Aid Verification/Real-Ear Measures

Real-ear measures are a critical aspect of making sure patients have success with their hearing aids. It’s the gold standard used to determine whether or not a hearing aid user is receiving the precise level of amplification needed at every frequency. During the measurement, a thin probe microphone is inserted into the ear canal alongside the hearing aid. The audiologist receives readings and can adjust the sound levels to match target amplification levels based on the hearing aid user’s hearing loss across the speech frequencies.

Clean and Check Services

We clean and perform checkups on your devices to make sure they are working properly.
