Audiology

Comprehensive audiology evaluations are performed to determine the existence of hearing loss, and to develop a rehabilitation plan.  In case of results showing a hearing loss, our audiologist will recommend the appropriate hearing aids that fit you the best.

Disclaimer** Audiology services are offered to make a diagnosis and treatment of hearing loss. By no means are they offered to establish Service Connection conditions or ratings

Hearing aid fittings: Hearing aids are provided and programmed in accordance to patient’s hearing loss, communication needs and lifestyle.  This includes a counseling session that provides information about how to use  hearing aids, maintenance, cleaning, charging (in the case of rechargeable hearing aids) and other auxiliary services.

Other services related to hearing aids include device evaluation, repairs, cleaning, adjustment of hearing aids, hearing aid programming and pairing accessories.

Videonystagmography Evaluations, also known as VNG, is a series of tests that assess the inner ear and central motor function as potential causes or contributing factors to vertigo, dizziness, or balance issues.  The test results can potentially assist the primary care provider and/or audiologist in determining the cause of dizziness and provide appropriate treatment options.

It should be noted that there are numerous factors that can cause vertigo, dizziness, or balance issues.  It is important to always consult with your primary care provider first to rule out other potential causes.

VA Video Connect (VVC)/Remote Programming: Hearing aids can be adjusted from your home without the need to come to the clinic. 

Progressive Tinnitus Management Clinic is a Workshop that includes four sessions to teach patients strategies to cope with tinnitus.  This service is offered through VVC (VA Video Connect) to all Audiology Clinics under Carl Vinson VA Health Care System.

With Tele-Audiology, a patient receives Audiological Care at a Satellite Office that may be closer to their home.  The Audiologist is in one location and the patient is at a different location with an Audiology Tech.  Audiological services are performed virtually.

Secure Messaging allows our veterans to communicate privately to ask non-urgent Audiology related questions.  Please see the following link for more information.
