Clinical Audiologists, Dr. Laurie Zollinger and Dr. Mary Martin are
specialists in the assessment and treatment of hearing and vestibular
disorders. Assessments include a variety of instruments and test
procedures, depending on symptoms and needs. They work with all age
groups from infants to seniors.
In the treatment of hearing loss, the Audiologists may recommend hearing
aids. Hearing aids are easy to operate and come in a variety of sizes and
colors. Many of the new aids have accessories to help patients hear
computers and televisions better. The Audiologists work closely with
patients, family and caregivers to find the best aids to fit the needs of the
patient. Hearing aids are dispensed with a six-week trial period. Payment
plans are available. The Audiologists will refer patients back to their Primary
Care Physician, or to an Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist when medically indicated.
Our goal is to help the patient hear better, allowing one to enjoy life more
and feel safer. Hearing aid batteries, repairs, accessories, custom
earplugs, ear monitors and hearing protective devices are available.
Patients experiencing dizziness or imbalance are tested to determine if
the cause is ear related. On many occasions, the Audiologist can treat the
dizziness during the evaluation process. Other times, a referral to a
physician for further medical consultation or referral to physical therapy for
vestibular rehabilitation is completed.
Our Audiologists also perform noise surveys and manage OSHA hearing
conservation programs.
