Testimonials…
 Before
coming to Speech & Hearing Center,
I didn't think there were any good people in the world. But through
God, they proved differently. I appreciate everyone who works at
Speech & Hearing Center. With money or without money, each
one of them showed me their love. There's a lot of love in this
place and I love each and every one of them. Thank you and God
Bless!

 For years I have avoided many social situations because I couldn't
understand or follow conversations--even in my own home. My frustrations
mounted until I realized that I needed hearing aids. Speech and
Hearing Center helped me to get the hearing aids that I really
needed. Now, I can understand my four children, my husband, and
my friends. I LOVE my hearing aids!!

An audiologist is a professional who diagnoses,
treats, and manages individuals with hearing loss or balance problems.
Audiologists have received a Master's or Doctorial degree from
an accredited university graduate program. Their academic and clinical
training provides the foundation for patient management from birth
through adulthood. Audiologists determine appropriate patient treatment
of hearing and balance problems by combining a complete history
with a variety of specialized auditory and vestibular assessments.
Based upon the diagnosis, the audiologist presents a variety of
treatment options to patients with hearing impairment or balance
problems. Audiologists dispense and fit hearing aids as part of
a comprehensive habilitative program. Audiologists may be found
working in medical centers and hospitals, private practice settings,
schools, government health facilities and agencies, as well as
colleges and universities. As a primary hearing health provider,
audiologists refer patients to physicians when the hearing or balance
problem requires medical or surgical evaluation or treatment.

Evaluation: Complete audiometric evaluations are performed by certified,
licensed audiologists. (All of our audiologists have Masters Degrees,
and are salaried, not commission compensated.) Evaluations include
a variety of specialized tests for infants, children and adults. If
a patient’s evaluation does not demonstrate a clear need for
a hearing aid, we will not try to sell that person an aid.
Hearing Aid Consultation: Hearing aids may be purchased through the
Center after a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation is completed. With
recommendation from our audiologists, you will be able to choose from
a wide variety of hearing aids, including digital and programmable
hearing instruments that can be worn in many different ways.
Payment Options: We
accept most insurance, Medicaid. And you may use Visa, MasterCard
or your Discover Card for payment. For those that can demonstrate
the need, we have grants and assistance from the UnitedWay, the
City of Jacksonville, Sertoma and other contributors, to defray
the cost of hearing aids and therapy.
Industrial Hearing Services: Hearing Testing is performed for employees working in high noise areas. We have a mobile testing unit available
to companies and organizations that wish to protect their employees
by applying Hearing Conservation Programs (OSHA Compliance Programs).
