Evidence-Based Audiology
Our Commitment to Best Practices in Audiology Care
Why an audiologist's expertise is worth the investment:
At Doctors of Hearing, Inc. exceptional hearing care starts with a commitment to Evidence-Based Best Practices. Our audiologists must follow nationally recognized clinical standards to ensure every patient receives accurate evaluations, personalized recommendations, and long-term support.
Clinical Standards
Guided by National Audiology Standards
Our providers practice in accordance with the best-practice guidelines and professional standards established by:
ASHA— The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association
AAA— The American Academy of Audiology
ADA— The Academy of Doctors of Audiology
ABA— The American Board of Audilogy
These organizations set the benchmark for ethical, patient-centered, and scientifically supported audiology care.
By aligning our clinical approach with these standards, we ensure that your care is grounded in the latest research and proven clinical methods.
In this section of our site, we highlight trusted licensed audiologists in other areas and soon in other states. Each is committed to Evidence-Based Best Practices and patient centered approach. Providers should adhere to nationally recognized clinical standards, ensuring patients receive accurate evaluations, personalized care recommendations, and ongoing support.

Ongoing Education & Professional Development
Hearing technology and treatment approaches are constantly evolving — and so are we. Our audiologists are committed to attending annual professional conventions, conferences, and continuing education courses to stay current with:
Advances in hearing aid technology
Best practices in hearing aid selection and verification
Improved fitting techniques and outcome measures
Counseling strategies that support long-term success
Comprehensive diagnostic methods for audiological assessment, tinnitus evaluation, and vestibular examination.
This ongoing education allows us to bring the latest innovations and clinical insights directly to our patients.
Comprehensive, Patient-Centered Care
Our best-practice approach means we focus on more than just hearing aids. We emphasize:
Accurate & Thorough Hearing Evaluations
A detailed case history
Otoscopic Examination
Tympanometry, Acoustic Reflex (Ipsilateral and Contralateral) Testing, and Reflex Decay Testing
Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAE)
Pure Tone Threshold Testing including Air Conduction & Bone Conduction
Word Recognition Scores (WRS) & Speech Reception Thresholds (SRT)
Tone Decay Testing
UCL & MCL Testing
Speech in noise testing, tinnitus evaluations, and high-frequency testing
Other assessments or questionnaires including COSI, APHAB, or THI
Individualized Hearing Aid Selection
Learning about your lifestyle, budget, listening needs, hearing aid style preference, type of hearing loss, most suitable hearing aid brand, various levels of technology and personal goals
Recommendation of the most appropriate type and model of hearing aids such as RICs (receiver-in-canal), CICs (completely-in-canal), BTEs (behind-the-ear), IIC (invisible hearing aids), BAHAs (bone-anchored), or cochlear implants
Customization of the fit including the receiver length, receiver power, and dome size or need of custom receivers/earmolds
Recommendation of other accessories such as a remote mic, FM system, or TV connector
Assisting with requesting complimentary caption telephones
Evidence-Based Hearing Aid Fittings
In-person programming using advanced computer-based unique algorithms and standardized mathematical formulas to customize gain at each affected frequency carefully adjusting overall gain, maximum power output, and compression for optimal hearing
In person running an in-ear feedback calibration to map the ear canal acoustics, allowing maximum amplification without causing "whistling" or feedback
In-person professional verification of programming via real ear measurements/speech mapping
In-situ testing measuring hearing thresholds directly through the hearing aid for a more accurate, personalized fit that accounts for individual ear canal acoustics
Ongoing Counseling, Follow-Up Care & Support
Designed to help you and your family adapt, thrive, and learn how hearing loss affects daily life.
Strongly recommend additional services such as lip-reading classes or auditory training programs
Test box measurements (acoustical analysis of hearing aids)
Ongoing professional cleaning of hearing aids, minor repairs in office
Ongoing updates with software firmware
We believe optimal outcomes are achieved through the integration of advanced hearing aid technology, state-of-the-art equipment, and clinical expertise, and when patient and family education are combined.
