AUDIOLOGIC EVALUATION

Hearing evaluations are important for musician, as part of an annual check, as well as any time a Temporary Threshold Shift (TTS) in hearing may be present. TTS often occurs after loud sound exposure for too much time or after a very high intensity sound blast. The individual may notice muffled hearing and/or tinnitus (ringing in the ear(s)).

TINNITUS EVALUATION

Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, can be a sign of too much sound or sounds that are too loud. The ringing can also be a sign of a temporary or permanent change in hearing and can often interfere with enjoyment of music. A tinnitus evaluation will match the tinnitus and the audiologist can provide tips to reduce exposure to loud sounds. Click here to learn more.

EAR CLEANING (CERUMEN REMOVAL)

A clean ear can ensure the sound frequency waves are entering the middle and inner ear. Earwax can be safely removed from the external auditory canal by an audiologist either in the office, or on-site. Click here to learn more.

ON-SITE SERVICES

Musicians, bands, orchestras, and symphonies often have many moving pieces and individuals are busy. Designer Audiology is pleased to offer services on-site (when equipment allows) for convenience. An audiologist can travel to a Baltimore/DC venue typically with 24-48 hours notice, working around practice and performance times. On-site services are charged a $500 travel fee, plus the time required on-site ($64 per 15 minute increments) and the cost of products. Products can be mailed to your next tour location, if needed.
