Hearing Tests
We offer hearing tests in Windham, Scarborough, Farmington, and Cornish, ME. A hearing test is the only way to determine if you can be helped by a hearing aid and what kind of hearing aid will be best for you. During your appointment you will sit in a soundproof booth and wear a pair of headphones. We will play a series of sounds at different frequencies to assess how well you can hear. Your results will be recorded on an audiogram.

Hearing Aid Fitting
Properly fit hearing aids are essential for good sound quality. Our team are experts in fitting and programming hearing aids to ensure they provide you with optimal hearing. We will custom fit your hearing aids to sit securely yet comfortably in or on your ear. We will also program them to your exact needs based on your hearing prescription (audiogram).
Onsite Hearing Aid Repairs
We service all brands of hearing aids, most of which can be repaired in-house. We can do repairs that other practices cannot, even for hearing aids that are 5+ years old. In addition, we offer the best service plans and warranties in the state of Maine.
In addition to hearing aid repairs, we also perform general maintenance on hearing aids to ensure your devices are functioning their best. We recommend bringing your hearing aids in every six months for a professional deep cleaning. This will ensure they last you for many years.
Hearing Protection
Loud noise is one of the most common causes of hearing loss in people of all ages. For this reason, it’s important to wear hearing protection whenever you are exposed to sounds that exceed 85 decibels. We can create custom fit earplugs and ear molds for exceptional hearing protection. We carry:
- Hunters hearing protection and enhancement
- Custom earplugs
- Swim plugs
- Musician’s hearing protection
- Ear molds
Tinnitus Management
Have you ever heard a buzzing, ringing, or whistling sound in your ears? You’re not alone. Tinnitus, commonly known as “ringing in the ears,” is a common hearing disorder. Tinnitus can range in severity from mildly bothersome to debilitating. While there is no cure for tinnitus, there are management options that can help alleviate your perception of the sounds.
We carry hearing aids that have a tinnitus masking feature that can play soothing sounds in your ears, distracting your brain from tinnitus. Although hearing aids won’t stop ringing in the ears completely, they can help you experience relief.
