Comprehensive Hearing Aid Services

The Hearing Aid Center at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics provides comprehensive hearing aid services for very young infants, children, and adults who have a hearing loss. Our center dispenses a variety of the latest digital, programmable, and analog hearing aids. Depending on the type and degree of hearing loss, an individual may even be a candidate for an implantable hearing aid.

Hearing aid services include:

• Consultations
• Selection of the most appropriate hearing
  aid(s)
• Fitting of the hearing aid(s) using real-ear measurements to objectively maximize a patient's auditory capabilities
• Follow-up care

In addition to hearing aid services, UI Hospitals and Clinics Hearing Aid Center also provides consultations and assistance in purchasing a variety of assistive listening devices (ALDs). Most ALDs substitute a vibration or light signal for the acoustic signal. Popular ALDs include vibrating alarm clocks and wristwatches, telephone amplifiers, and devices that alert a person to the sound of a baby's cry, or the doorbell, or telephone ringing. Information about the voice-carry-over relay system for individuals who cannot understand over the telephone is also available.
