Hearing Evaluations
Hearing loss often develops gradually, which means it’s common for individuals to be unaware of the subtle changes in their hearing over time. The most effective way to understand your hearing health is through a professional hearing evaluation. Just as you would schedule regular checkups with your dentist or optometrist, it's important to have your hearing assessed periodically.
At Coastal Hearing and Balance Center, we warmly welcome new patients with a complimentary hearing screening. Based on the results, we may recommend a comprehensive audiological evaluation, which is typically covered by insurance. When you’re ready to take the next step in caring for your hearing health, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to help you every step of the way.

Hearing Aids
Hearing aids are advanced, yet discreet devices crafted to significantly enhance your auditory experience. These compact instruments consist of three key components: a microphone, amplifier, and speaker. The microphone picks up sound, which is then transformed into digital signals. The amplifier strengthens these signals, and the speaker transmits the enhanced sound directly into your ear. Available in a variety of sizes and styles, hearing aids can be tailored to fit your unique preferences.

Earplugs & Earmolds
Exposure to loud noises, such as gunshots or machinery, can lead to hearing loss. If you work in a high-noise environment, like construction or manufacturing, proper hearing protection is essential. While over-the-counter earplugs offer some level of protection, custom earmolds and earplugs provide superior comfort and effectiveness tailored to your specific needs.
Custom earmolds are designed to fit the unique shape of your ear, offering a more secure and comfortable fit compared to standard earplugs. Depending on your requirements, you can choose between solid or more flexible, sound-permeable options.
At Coastal Hearing and Balance Center, we are committed to helping you find the ideal hearing protection. We’ll assess your noise exposure and personal preferences to recommend the best solution, ensuring your hearing remains protected and comfortable.

Are you experiencing buzzing, humming, or ringing in your ears? These symptoms may indicate tinnitus, a condition characterized by a persistent ringing sensation.

If you're dealing with these symptoms, please reach out to Coastal Hearing and Balance Center. We have extensive experience in helping patients manage tinnitus. Although there is no permanent cure, we offer a range of treatment options tailored to your specific needs. During your appointment, we will discuss your symptoms and explore the most effective strategies to alleviate them.

Ear Wax Management
Earwax plays a crucial role in protecting your ears by trapping dust and debris. Normally, your ears naturally expel excess earwax over time. However, sometimes earwax can accumulate or become compacted against the eardrum, necessitating professional attention.
If you are experiencing issues with excess earwax, Coastal Hearing and Balance Center is here to assist. Attempting to remove earwax with cotton swabs can push it further into the ear canal, potentially leading to complications such as infections. Additionally, earwax buildup can worsen tinnitus, making professional removal important for relief.
Our team is dedicated to providing safe and effective earwax removal services to help maintain your ear health and overall well-being. Please reach out to us for a thorough evaluation and expert care.
