In addition to our main office, located in Kilmarnock, we provide full service diagnostic audiology services in three satellite offices, located in Gloucester, Warsaw and Mathews, Virginia. The practice is the only audiology facility serving these counties in approximately a 250-mile radius.
We provide hearing solutions and recommendations, including the evaluation, selection and training of hearing devices to the pediatric and adult population. We work with various levels of hearing aid technology and incorporate advanced electro acoustic analysis assessment to maximize hearing success. Aural rehabilitation and patient counseling is an integral part of our ongoing patient service.
Our practice is an approved follow-up site for the Virginia Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Program and a referral source for local pediatricians and other pediatric referral sources. Internists, family practice physicians and other health care providers refer numerous patients for audiology services. The practice provides consultations to local schools including training school nurses on hearing screening protocol. The educational component of our practice includes consultations to enhance learning for hearing-impaired students and to recommend, train and help maintain FM systems for hearing impaired students and other assistive devices.
