At RITE BE HOME, our Audiology Services are designed to support adults in overcoming hearing loss, auditory processing challenges, and balance-related concerns that may impact their quality of life. We believe that clear hearing is essential to meaningful communication, emotional connection, and overall well-being.

Our team of licensed audiologists provides comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, personalized treatment plans, and compassionate care aimed at improving residents’ ability to engage with others, participate in daily activities, and maintain independence. Whether adjusting to age-related changes, recovering from noise-induced hearing loss, or adapting to assistive listening devices, our residents receive expert, individualized support every step of the way.

Guided by our core values of courage, lifelong learning, and community, our audiology services empower individuals to hear better, connect more deeply, and live more fully.

Scope of Audiology Services

Our Audiology Program at Rite Be Home includes a wide range of services delivered by licensed audiologists and supported by trained staff. These services are integrated into our interdisciplinary care model, working closely with speech therapists, social workers, nurses, and physicians.

✅ Comprehensive Hearing Assessments

Each resident receives a thorough evaluation of their:

• Pure-tone audiometry (hearing sensitivity)
• Speech recognition abilities
• Middle ear function (tympanometry)
• Auditory processing capabilities
• Noise exposure history

These assessments help identify the type, degree, and potential causes of hearing loss, guiding the development of an individualized care plan.

✅ Diagnosis and Management of Hearing Loss

We provide diagnostic clarity and ongoing management for residents experiencing:

• Age-related hearing loss (presbycusis)
• Noise-induced hearing loss
• Conductive and sensorineural hearing impairments
• Sudden hearing changes or unilateral hearing loss

Residents are educated about their condition and supported in making informed decisions about treatment options.

✅ Hearing Aid Evaluation, Fitting, and Follow-Up

For those who would benefit from amplification, we offer:

• Selection of appropriate hearing aid technology based on lifestyle and hearing needs
• Custom fitting and real-ear verification for optimal performance
• Training on device use, maintenance, and troubleshooting
• Ongoing follow-up appointments to ensure comfort and effectiveness

We work with leading manufacturers to provide state-of-the-art digital hearing aids tailored to each individual’s preferences and budget.

✅ Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs) and Technology Integration

To enhance communication in various environments, we introduce and train residents in the use of:

• Personal amplifiers
• FM systems
• Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids
• Captioned telephones and visual alert systems

This helps individuals stay connected during conversations, group settings, and recreational activities.

✅ Tinnitus Evaluation and Management

For residents experiencing ringing, buzzing, or other noises in the ears, we offer:

• Tinnitus assessment and counseling
• Sound therapy options
• Stress-reduction techniques
• Hearing aid-based tinnitus masking strategies

Our goal is to reduce the perceived burden of tinnitus and improve overall quality of life.

✅ Balance and Vestibular Screening

Hearing and balance are closely linked. Our audiologists conduct screenings to assess:

• Inner ear function
• Risk of falls related to vestibular dysfunction
• Potential need for referral to physical therapy or ENT specialists

Early detection allows for timely intervention and improved safety.

✅ Counseling and Family Support

We understand that hearing loss affects not only the individual but also loved ones. Our audiologists provide:

• Communication strategy training for families and caregivers
• Emotional support and coping strategies
• Educational resources on hearing health
• Guidance on how to communicate effectively with someone who has hearing loss

This ensures continuity of care and stronger interpersonal connections.

✅ Preventative Education and Hearing Conservation

In addition to rehabilitation, we emphasize proactive hearing health through:

• Education on protecting hearing from loud noises
• Safe use of headphones and personal listening devices
• Environmental modifications to reduce background noise
• Annual hearing screenings for early detection of changes

Our goal is to preserve hearing function and prevent further decline.
