Ear Wax Removal
Manual removal of ear wax is performed using a lighted curette. The ear canal is sensitive, so children may only tolerate cleanings for a very short amount of time. It may require more than one visit. NOTE: Do not use cleaning solution unless ears are otherwise healthy and ear drums are intact as confirmed by your doctor or child’s pediatrician. Earwax MD or Earwax MD Kids application may help soften wax prior to removal if ears are healthy. Use as directed.

Communication Needs Assessment (CNA)
Your child may have services and equipment in place at school, but you are looking to improve your family’s communication at home. A Communication Needs Assessment (CNA) is a technical and personalized evaluation of your child’s hearing health and communication needs resulting in a treatment plan tailored to your goals. This visit includes questionnaires and additional testing to better understand specific difficulties and desired outcomes.

Hearing Assistive Technology (HAT)
Hearing assistive technology reduces listening effort and improves understanding of conversations in difficult environments. Whether you are looking to supplement your child’s current school equipment, such as FM, for home use or would like to trial HAT before making a purchase, Dr. Waddell can help you navigate options that will best serve your child’s communication needs. Trials are provided following a Communication Needs Assessment (described above). Technology ranges from $140-$1220 + fitting fees.

Only limited repairs are provided on site. *Manufacturer repair costs and earmolds not included.
