Hearing Aid and Rehabilitative Services
Part of our wide range of therapeutic options for hearing impairment includes hearing aid services. These services are designed to improve quality of life through improved communication. Our program provides patients with the most current technology and care, as well as education about managing their hearing loss.
We work with the leading hearing aid manufacturers and offer a variety of style and circuitry options. As a part of our program, you will work with an audiologist for an evaluation of your communication needs to determine which device is most appropriate for you.
We offer a one-month adjustment period to insure patient satisfaction. If the patient does not feel the hearing aid is satisfactory, he or she may return the device and be refunded the purchase price of the hearing aid. Professional services and fees incurred during adjustment period are non-refundable.
During the adjustment period, multiple visits to our facility are required to make sure your device is fit for your communication needs. Accessibility to repairs and modifications is improved if your program is within driving distance. Please make sure you have adequate transportation.

Patients will undergo extensive testing to determine if they are an ideal candidate for a cochlear implant. Following the surgery, patients are seen for follow-up programming of the implant. During these follow-up visits, programming is verified using several different measures and aural rehabilitation is provided. This clinic provides services for all three cochlear implant manufacturers (Advanced Bionics Corporation, Cochlear Corporation, and Med-El), whether the patient is implanted by Dr. Fucci or at another center.
