- Audiological Evaluations
Complete hearing testing for all ages are provided by Dr. Mills in both offices. Evaluations include measures of hearing sensitivity for Air and Bone conducted sounds and measures of Speech Discrimination ability in quiet and real-world background noise. When necessary we also provide further evaluation of the middle ear function (impedance audiometry) and special auditory testing to determine the location of dysfunction or disease.
- Hearing Aid Prescription & Fitting
From your audiogram (hearing test) Dr. Mills can prescribe, recommend, and dispense a variety of hearing aids from many manufacturers. We select leaders in hearing aid innovation.
We can also service and repair most makes and models of hearing instruments.
We emphasize ongoing cleaning and maintenance after your hearing aid purchase to insure you receive optimum performance and benefit from your hearing aids. We encourage all our patients to come in for a regular hearing aid evaluation and cleaning at no charge.
- The Best Technology
If your evaluation and prescription shows that hearing aids may be helpful we are in a unique position to help you improve your hearing clarity.
Since we are completely independent we can use technology from many leaders in hearing aid innovation: ReSound, Unitron Hearing, Phonak, Oticon, Starkey, Widex, Siemens, and Sonic Innovations. Even better, since we only use well established manufacturers , any of our hearing aids can be adjusted by other audiologists if you move away.
- 10-Week evaluation period.
We have an uncommonly long 10 week trial period (a 4-6 week trial period is most common). During the initial 10 weeks if your hearing aids are not meeting your needs we can change them for another type or manufacturer and your 10 week trial period starts over. Or, you may elect to stop the trial and simple return your hearing aids for refund.
- Technology customized to meet your needs.
We take time to understand you and your hearing experience so that our recommendations are appropriate for your lifestyle
- Warranty and peace of mind.
We offer a 3-year comprehensive warranty on most of our hearing aids. This provides coverage for damage or repair during your first three years. If your hearing aid is sent for repair we can often provide a loaner instrument for use during that time. Emergency/same day appointments are typically available.

- Hearing Enhancement Devices

- Musician & Hi Fidelity Products
Musicians have unique needs to protect their hearing from excessive volume. Regular noise protectors offer too much sound reduction, particularly in the low frequencies. This can affect how they hear tonal balance and perceive other singers and musicians. There are many specialty products available to overcome these limitations; custom in-the-ear monitors, custom high fidelity earplugs with acoustic filters, and generic flat frequency response earplugs.
As a musician Dr. Mills is very aware of these products and how they can used to offer the best fidelity and greatest hearing protection.

- Hearing Protection
Our ears are frequently subjected to loud noise from our noisy lives; hobbies like hunting, shooting, and racing; enjoyments like music, performance, and woodworking; homeowner chores like chainsawing, home repair, and even vacuuming. These sounds often exceed safe levels and can even create permanent hearing loss with single exposures. More commonly damage occurs with repeated exposures over a period of time.
A wide variety of custom ear protectors are available for specific purposes. Active custom electronic hearing protectors are used for hunting, racing, and musicians. Passive custom earplugs with filters are appropriate for more common exposures where speech still needs to be understood despite the noise; target shooting, industrial protection, even some music applications. Passive custom earplugs without filters are the most basic protectors that provide the greatest protection against all offending sounds. Typically ear impressions are required for most personal hearing protective devices.
