Examination of the Otolith system of the inner ear.
Testing of Sensory Cells of the Inner Ear
On occasion a newborn fails a hearing screening in the hospital and requires follow-up. Also, there are instances where births take place in the home and a hearing screening is required. Madison Audiology performs the necessary otoacoustic emission screenings. Generally, transient evoked responses (TEOAEs) are performed with the criteria for passing being 3 half-octave bands with amplitudes of 5 dB or greater in each of the 5 band tested between 1000 and 4000 Hz.
A major part of the practice of audiology is concerned with the evaluation and fitting of hearing instruments. Madison Audiology fits and dispenses the most contemporary digitial hearing instruments available.
Dispensing a hearing instrument(s) is a process which requires that the patient be fully aware of the instruments which are available for his or her own needs. The process involves the degree of hearing loss, the type of hearing loss, the patient's lifestyle, and monetary concerns. Madison Audiology welcomes patient inquiries concerning the possible use of hearing aids or any other related issues. These generally take the form of a consultation. The patient is not obligated in any way to make decisions at that visit. The intent is informational only.
Hearing aid supplies such as batteries and wax guards may be obtained from this office by calling. The materials will be sent to you in the mail. You may also stop in to the office during normal working hours
for these supplies. The tab color on the battery denotes the battery
size. All battery manufacturers use the same colors for the various sizes.
So if you use Rayovac, Duracell, or Energizer the tab colors will all be
the same. In addition, the battery numbers are frequently followed by letters. These may be ignored in most instances.
