Audiology Services
Helping you hear clearly — and reconnect with what matters most.
We're Here to Help
Hearing plays a vital role in how we connect with the world — and when it starts to decline, everyday moments can feel more difficult and isolating. At Head & Neck Surgery of Kansas City, our audiology team is here to help you hear clearly and confidently again.
Whether you’re due for a hearing evaluation, exploring hearing aids, or considering advanced options like cochlear or bone-anchored implants, we provide personalized solutions and ongoing support to match your needs and lifestyle.
Conditions We Treat
We help patients of all ages address hearing loss and related concerns, including:
- Sensorineural and conductive hearing loss — whether age-related, noise-induced, or structural
- Tinnitus — ringing, buzzing, or humming sounds in one or both ears
- Unilateral or sudden hearing loss — especially when hearing changes rapidly or affects one ear more than the other
- Hearing challenges in children — including delays in speech or inconsistent response to sound
We also evaluate other hearing-related concerns. If you’re unsure what’s affecting your hearing, we’re here to help.
How We Diagnose
Our comprehensive hearing evaluations are designed to pinpoint the type and degree of hearing loss, using tests such as:
- Pure tone audiometry to measure hearing thresholds across different pitches
- Speech recognition testing to assess how clearly you hear and understand speech
- Tympanometry to evaluate middle ear movement and pressure
- Otoacoustic emissions (OAE) testing to screen cochlear function, often in children
- Auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing to evaluate nerve signals between the ear and brain
Treatment Options
Your care plan will be tailored to your hearing loss, lifestyle, and communication needs. Options may include:
- Hearing aid fittings — personalized selection, fitting, and programming of digital hearing aids
- Tinnitus devices to help manage ringing in the ears and improve sound clarity
- Follow-up care for adjustments, maintenance, and education on using your devices
- Cochlear and bone-anchored implants — surgical options for patients who don’t benefit from traditional hearing aids
- Assistive listening devices and accessories for phone calls, TV, and group settings
- Ear protection and custom molds for musicians, swimmers, or occupational needs
- Ongoing hearing monitoring and support to keep up with changes over time
Frequently Asked Questions
If you struggle to hear conversations, turn up the TV often, or frequently ask others to repeat themselves, it’s time for an evaluation.
Hearing aids amplify sound through the ear canal. Cochlear and bone-anchored implants bypass damaged parts of the ear to deliver sound directly to the auditory nerve.
They won’t restore hearing completely, but modern hearing aids can dramatically improve clarity, comfort, and confidence in everyday listening situations.
Today’s devices are discreet, comfortable, and easy to adjust. We’ll guide you through every step of the process and provide ongoing support.
We’ll assess your hearing and recommend solutions that help you balance sound and improve communication — even in challenging environments.
