Hearing Tests
We offer diagnostic hearing tests in Scottsdale, AZ, for adults of all ages. The purpose of the hearing test is to determine what degree of hearing loss you have so we can find a suitable management option. The hearing test is quick and painless. Our hearing specialist will explain each step and answer any questions you may have.
Hearing Aid Evaluation
After we have the results of your hearing exam, we will help you find the right solution to managing your hearing loss. We will look at your degree of hearing loss, lifestyle, and budget. Using this information, we will recommend a hearing aid that meets all of your unique requirements.
Hearing Aid Fitting
Once you’ve decided on a hearing aid, we will fit the devices to your exact ear shape and hearing prescription. Hearing aids should feel comfortable yet secure in your ears. We can create custom hearing aid molds, depending on the style of device you choose, and ensure they fit perfectly. We will also program your hearing aids based on your audiogram so you can hear all the sounds that are important to you.
Hearing Aid Repairs
If something isn’t working right with your hearing aids, bring them in and we can fix them. Our audiologist is an expert in hearing aid technology and can fix most issues in office. If there is more serious damage to your hearing aids, we can send them to the manufacturer for you.
A key part of hearing aid maintenance is to bring your devices in every six months for a professional deep cleaning. We can clean, repair, and reprogram almost all hearing aid brands.
Earwax Removal
Earwax, medically known as cerumen, is a natural part of having healthy ears. However, sometimes earwax can build-up inside the ear canal and become impacted. When this occurs, you may experience discomfort, clogged ears, and muffled hearing. At our advanced hearing center, we can safely and effectively remove impacted earwax, so you can hear clearly again.
Tinnitus Management
Commonly known as “ringing in the ears,” tinnitus is the perception of sound when none is externally present. People who have tinnitus typically hear a buzzing, humming, ringing, whistling, or other sound in their ears. The severity of tinnitus can range greatly and may be so sporadic that it does not affect quality of life.
For those who have constant, annoying tinnitus, hearing aids may help. Hearing aids with a masking feature are a common tinnitus treatment that will play soothing sounds in your ears. Although hearing aids won’t stop ringing in the ears completely, they can greatly help. Contact us to learn more about tinnitus masking hearing aids and how they can provide you with relief.
Hearing Protection
A key preventative measure you can take to keep your hearing safe is to avoid loud noise exposure. Noise induced hearing loss is incredibly common and affects millions of Americans. Whenever you are around sounds that exceed 85 decibels, it’s crucial to wear hearing protection.
At Audiology of Scottsdale, we can create custom fit earplugs, earmolds, and in-ear monitors. Be proactive of your hearing health by wearing custom hearing protection.

Assistive listening devices are designed to help you hear better in environments such as lecture halls, movie theaters, and conference rooms. There are even devices that can help you connect to Bluetooth and alarms to notify you of your surroundings. We carry a wide selection of hearing assistance devices that can help you have a more seamless hearing experience.
