At Sound, we believe in a thorough and personalized approach to your assessment. We take the time to listen to your concerns and understand your overall communication needs. Using a combination of objective and subjective tests, we provide a complete picture of your hearing health.

• Medical history and interview: Understanding your unique hearing journey.

• Physical examination: Checking the outer ear and ear canal with otoscopy.

• Audiogram: How well you hear specific pitches that represent the sounds of speech, as well as how well you can hear and understand words and sentences in both quiet and background noise.

• Middle ear measurements: Assessing the eardrum and middle ear with tympanometry and acoustic reflexes.

• Inner ear measurements: Using otoacoustic emissions to evaluate inner ear function.

Our goal is to provide a complete and clear understanding of your hearing, so we can help you stay connected to the sounds and people that matter most.

Your child's hearing is essential, and our team is committed to delivering prompt and accurate insights into their hearing abilities. No matter their age, we are here to help. We warmly welcome children from all backgrounds, including those with Autism Spectrum Disorder or those who may have faced challenges completing hearing evaluations elsewhere. Our pediatric evaluations include the following components:

• Birth and medical history and interview. Your child’s hearing and communication journey.

• Physical examination: Checking the outer ear and ear canal with otoscopy.

• Audiogram: How well your child hears specific pitches that represent the sounds of speech as well as how well they can hear and understand words. For younger children or those not able to wear headphones, this can be done through speakers.

• Middle ear measurements: Assessing the eardrum and middle ear with tympanometry and acoustic reflexes.

• Inner ear measurements: Using otoacoustic emissions to evaluate inner ear function.

We provide initial hearing screenings for newborns delivered at home or a birth center (and who did not receive a hearing screening) and who have no family history of hearing loss or risk factors for hearing loss.

We can not see babies for secondary hearing screenings - those who are born in a hospital setting and refer on their initial screening will be referred for follow-up screening by the state newborn hearing screening program.

Our newborn hearing screenings include the following components:

• Birth and medical history and interview. Your child’s hearing and communication journey.

• Physical examination: Checking the outer ear and ear canal with otoscopy.

• Middle ear measurements: Assessing the eardrum and middle ear with tympanometry and sometimes with acoustic reflexes.

• Inner ear measurements: Using otoacoustic emissions to evaluate inner ear function.

We are in-network with Blue Shield PPO plans, making it easy for us to bill these plans directly for you. We accept all other PPO plans as an out-of-network provider, providing you with detailed reimbursement statements (medical superbills) to help you with self-reimbursement.
