Hearing Evaluations
learn more
We provide a range of services that diagnose, treat, and maintain your hearing health. This includes high quality diagnostic testing. Testing involves noninvasive and painless processes that identify hearing loss, the degree of impairment, and specific type that you may be experiencing. At our hearing center we use a few different tests to closely assess your ears and hearing. This includes tympanometry, sound, and speech testing which comprehensively measure your hearing capacity in both ears.
Tinnitus Management
Tinnitus can be debilitating. One of the most common symptoms of hearing loss, tinnitus describes the buzzing or ringing like noise experienced in one or both ears. It can occur regularly, taking a toll on sleep and disrupting daily life. Dr. Rickman provides informed care for people navigating tinnitus. In addition to diagnosing and treating hearing loss which is most often the underlying condition triggering tinnitus, we provide strategies and resources on effective ways to alleviate tinnitus.

Hearing Protection
Environmental exposure to loud noise, infrequently or consistently, is a major cause of hearing loss. Loud noise can damage the hair cells in the inner ear which are critical for processing soundwaves. As personal audio devices have become integral to daily living, the risk of developing hearing loss has increased. Being proactive about protecting your hearing can significantly reduce this risk and maintain quality hearing. At Excel Audiology we provide custom hearing protection that protects the ears from the impact of loud noise. Our services include taking custom molds of your ears to create ear pieces that comfortably fit and provide effective protection from the hazards of loud noise.

Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) is what the brain does with what we hear. People with auditory processing disorder have trouble interpreting what is being said, despite having normal hearing. This condition can affect the way they understand speech, follow oral instructions and distinguish speech in the presence of background noise. APD is prevalent in school age children and can coincide with other conditions such as ADD or dyslexia. It is important that those who suspect they have APD, with these symptoms, are tested and diagnosed by an Audiologist.
