Some signs that it’s time to book a hearing test include:

• Straining to hear conversations
• Frequently asking others to repeat themselves
• Adjusting the TV volume to a level that bothers those around you
• Turning up the volume on your phone

At Brookline Hearing Services, our experienced audiologists will guide you through the entire testing process, ensuring that you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. Our hearing tests measure your ability to hear different frequencies at various volumes, as well as speech understanding. We may also conduct tests to measure things like pressure behind the ear to see if there is fluid behind the eardrum.

Following the test, we will provide a detailed analysis of the results, explaining any findings and recommending appropriate next steps based on your individual needs and preferences.

Hearing aid fitting is an important step to making sure your new hearing aids work properly. Getting a snug, custom fit reduces feedback and improves comfort. At Brookline Hearing Services, our team of skilled professionals goes above and beyond to ensure that your new hearing aids are tailored to meet your specific needs and preferences.

During the fitting process, we take the time to demonstrate how to correctly insert and remove your hearing aids, show you proper cleaning techniques, and address any concerns or questions you may have.

If you’ve been noticing issues with your hearing aids, we can help you with hearing aid maintenance and repair.

Before scheduling an appointment, try these troubleshooting steps:

• Check and replace the battery
• Inspect for earwax or other debris
• Thoroughly clean your devices
• Make sure the devices are fully powered on and synced to your other devices

Our hearing aid technicians are available to provide professional maintenance and repair services to keep your hearing aids in optimal working condition. Whether it’s a minor adjustment or a more complex repair, you can trust us to deliver reliable solutions tailored to your needs.

Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the most common types of hearing loss, and it’s preventable! Many people don’t realize how quickly noise can damage hearing. When you’re exposed to sounds over 85 dB (about the sound of a hair dryer or lawn mower), you risk hearing loss. While you may know that a music concert can damage your ears, listening to audio with your earbuds can also cause hearing loss!

We’re here to help you protect your hearing. Along with education on safe listening practices, we provide custom hearing protection solutions to safeguard your ears. This is a comfortable and effective way to reduce the impact of loud sounds on your ears. We offer several types of custom hearing protection including industrial protection, musician earplugs, recreational earplugs, and more.

Earwax (or cerumen) is a waxy substance secreted in the ear canal. It cleans the ear canal while also protecting the eardrum from debris, bacteria, and moisture. Sometimes the ear produces too much earwax which can become impacted and affect your ability to hear.

At Brookline Hearing Services, we understand the discomfort and frustration that can result from impacted earwax, which is why we offer gentle and effective wax removal procedures. Our experienced specialists can safely remove excess earwax, providing you with a comfortable and stress-free experience.

In addition to hearing aids, we offer a range of assistive listening devices (ALDs) that are designed to enhance and support your hearing in a range of listening environments. From amplified phones to TV accessories, these technologies can amplify speech and sound, enabling you to fully engage in both public and private settings.

Our dedicated experts take the time to understand your unique communication needs and preferences so we can recommend the perfect assistive listening devices for your daily activities. We provide comprehensive guidance on the selection, fitting, and use of ALDs, ensuring that you are equipped with the most suitable solutions to enhance your auditory experience.
