Aural Rehabilitation

We provide counseling for patients, friends, or family on how to understand hearing aids and their benefits. We also provide counseling on good communication strategies, how to be strategic in noisy environments, and how to get the most out of your hearing aids. Our hearing specialists use LACE, a computer training to help the brain improve auditory memory to help you better adjust to hearing sounds around you.

Tinnitus Management

If you hear a buzzing, humming, ringing, or whistling sound in your ears, you are not alone. Tinnitus affects millions of people. When you visit our hearing clinic, we can perform a tinnitus test which includes:

  • Assessing the impact of tinnitus on daily life using a questionnaire
  • Pitch matching
  • Loudness level testing
If tinnitus is bothering you, we offer tinnitus treatments such as hearing aids and tinnitus therapy, that can help stop ringing in the ears.

Balance Services

Balance issues are common, and our audiologists are dizziness and balance disorder experts. Chronic dizziness, vertigo, or loss of balance can be debilitating and can negatively affect your quality of life. At Peninsula Hearing & Balance Center, we offer vestibular testing to determine if dizziness or balance issues are present. We offer the following testing for balance disorders.

  • Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR): Identifies abnormalities of the auditory neural pathways through the level of the brainstem such as an acoustic neuroma.
  • Videonystagmography Testing (VNG): Assists our specialists in determining if the patient’s dizziness is caused by inner ear dysfunction, BPPV, or central pathology.

Cerumen Management

Cerumen (earwax) can build-up inside your ears, causing discomfort and muffled hearing. If you have clogged ears due to earwax, we offer professional ear cleaning services.

  1. Curette: a tool to manually remove cerumen
  2. Irrigation: the use of water to flush out cerumen
  3. Microsuction: use of a small vacuum to remove cerumen
