Hearing Evaluations

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) Testing

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.

Prioritize Your Hearing Health!

Prioritizing your hearing health can change your life. Treating hearing loss drastically enhances hearing and communication which has far-reaching effects on all aspects of life. Strengthened communication offers countless benefits including: improves relationships, enriches social life, boosts confidence, and fully supports people navigating daily life independently. This is great for overall health, longevity, and quality of life!

Excel Audiology is absolutely a 5 star business! Jason is professional, very knowledgeable and patient with his clients. I am the caregiver for an elderly woman I take to Excel on a regular basis. She loves her hearing aides and is also very impressed with the manor in which Jason runs his business! If I ever need a hearing device, this is most definitely where I would go! Oh & his prices are great as well!

I recently was examined by Jason Rickman, Au. D. and I was very pleased with his thorough testing and professionalism. The results were that my hearing is normal and I did not require hearing aids. A few years ago, my husband surprised me and went on his own to Jason to have his hearing tested after our daughters and I told him we thought he might have a problem. Thankfully, Jason fitted him with hearing aids and now the TV is no longer blasting and his hearing is so much better. If anyone wants to have their hearing checked and/or think they may have a hearing problem, I highly recommend Jason at Excel Audiology.
