Medicare and non-Medicare beneficiaries! Please help your audiologists as well as physical therapists and speech-language pathologists be paid for their services and expertise.
Medicare is proposing an average 7% in cuts in coverage of audiology services. It is important that we fight these cuts and have our voices heard.
Please sign this petition so we can continue accepting Medicare. It takes less than 10 seconds!
THANK YOU!

Happy Veterans Day! We are so thankful for the men and women who have served our country! Pictured is Ms. Tonya’s office and her amazing patriotic memorabilia.

Life-changing hearing technology does exist!! Just ask our patients who have moved forward with a cochlear implant! We are very thankful we are able to provide pre- and post- cochlear implant services!!
If you have been told hearing aids won’t help, if you are struggling to understand speech even with hearing aids, or you know someone like this please call our office to learn more!
“It is important to recognize, however, that life-changing hearing technology already exists, yet isn’t being accessed by thousands of people who could benefit from it. It is this backdrop that makes the new global scientific consensus on cochlear implantation so significant."

If you are beginning your Christmas shopping, please review this list before buying a toy with sound. Some toys are as loud as a lawn mower and children play with them right next to their ears! If you do buy a toy with sound, download a sound level meter app and check the volume. Anything over 60 should be used with caution! Put cotton and tape over the speaker, or opt for a different toy. Protect your child’s hearing this holiday season! #BetterHearingBeginsHere #NoisyToys #ChristmasShopping #Christmas #Christmas2020 #ShopLocal #SupportLocal #HearingLossAwareness #HearingLoss

Earwax buildup is the hearing loss we can solve! #BetterHearingBeginsHere #Earwax #Earigator #WeLoveEarwaxRemoval #ThinkAudiology #CorbinKY

Medicare Audiologist Access and Services Act reintroduced in the US House of Representatives
Introduced by Congressman Tom Rice and Congressman Matt Cartwright , with more than 20 bipartisan original co-sponsors, the Medicare Audiologist Access and Services Act (MAASA) of 2021 will enhance the Medicare benefit by providing critical direct access to both diagnostic and therapeutic services provided by audiologists. The American Academy of Audiology , the Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA), and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) endorse this legislation as a top priority to ensure expedient and optimal hearing and balance health care for the older adult population in the United States.

Have you read the news about the Texas Roadhouse CEO taking his own life due to tinnitus? His tinnitus was a side effect from COVID.
Tinnitus is the perception of sound when there is no external source. For example, hearing a ringing, humming, buzzing, crickets, etc in your ears, but nothing is making that sound.
Millions of people suffer from tinnitus, and most of them don’t know there is treatment for it. Please contact an audiologist to learn about all of your options.
