Welcome!

 

Liz Kruel-Wilmesherr, M.A., F-AAA

Working within the medical community, our clinic provides a variety of hearing healthcare services including hearing assessments and rehabilitation, education, and counseling. We have no charge office visits, extensive trial periods, free hearing aid cleaning, loaners and trade ins. We are insurance providers and do nursing home and in-home visits.

Our clinic also fits and dispenses sophisticated hearing aids and related devices to suit all types of hearing loss and life styles. Assessments regarding the level of amplification that would be best suited to our patients are generally completed following a comprehensive hearing evaluation by a qualified hearing health care professional, a certified audiologist or a nationally certified hearing instrument specialist.


What is an Audiologist?  

An audiologist is a professional who diagnoses and treats hearing and balance problems. An audiologist has received an Au.D. (Doctorate in Audiology), or a Master's or Doctoral degree from an accredited university graduate program in audiology. Audiologists are trained to diagnose, manage and treat hearing or balance problems for individuals from birth through adulthood. 

What is a Nationally Board Certified - Hearing Instrument Specialist?

Some of the most highly experienced hearing health professionals in the world share a distinguishing symbol – the symbol of certification through NBC-HIS. Board Certificants are fully committed to providing their patients with quality care.  The achievement of this designation represents the initiative to excel beyond the normal requirements for operating a hearing instrument dispensing practice. The designation, BC-HIS (Board Certified in Hearing Instrument Sciences), distinguishes the Board Certificant’s outstanding skills and professional expertise needed for completion of the National Competency Exam.

If you or a family member suspect that you have a hearing problem, contact a hearing healthcare professional. After carefully reviewing your health history and evaluation your hearing, your hearing professional will determine whether your condition might be medically treatable and will refer you to an appropriate professional. If your condition is not medically treatable, he or she will review any recommendations for audiologic care or treatment which may include hearing aids, aural rehabilitation or balance therapy.
