Hearing Testing & Hearing Aids

Lone Star ENT Specialists offers comprehensive hearing evaluations for newborns to geriatric patients. Hearing loss can negatively impact the overall health and well-being of children and adults. Undetected hearing loss in children can lead to problems with speech and language development. Hearing loss in older adults can be a safety issue as well as negatively impact emotional health and social interaction.

Hearing evaluation at Lone Star ENT Specialists begins with an examination of the ear by Dr. Rodriguez. Should ear wax impaction be present, this can be removed painlessly. Our licensed audiologist, Kelli House, conducts state-of-the-art hearing testing for accurate results. If a hearing loss is detected, the most appropriate interventions will be discussed with Dr. Rodriguez.

The last several years have seen vast improvements in hearing aid technology, including advancements in comfort and wearability. Testing will determine the exact nature of your hearing loss to see if a hearing aid is appropriate for you. If so, we’ll recommend a hearing device that fits your budget, your needs and your lifestyle.  

Hearing evaluations are also recommended to diagnose a variety of other conditions, including tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and vertigo (dizziness).
Additionally, Lone Star ENT Specialists can create custom ear molds for swimming, musicians, and sound protection.
