Audiology Services

• Comprehensive Hearing Evaluations 
  • Northern Prairie Community Clinic has the equipment, knowledge, and skills to test the hearing for most patients aged 6 months and above per current best practice guidelines. 
• Hearing Aids
  • Hearing loss can cause children to not develop typical speech and language skills, while adults may experience difficulty communicating with others. Modern hearing aids have a sleek form factor and can connect wirelessly to additional devices to assist in better hearing. At NPCC all hearing aid fittings include real-ear verification which ensures the hearing aids are appropriate for each patient's ear and hearing level. 
• Tinnitus 
  • Nearly every person experiences tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, and/or whooshing in the ear); however, for some, it can become an obstacle to daily life. Our clinic can provide testing and counseling to those who suffer from tinnitus.
