Hearing and Balance

​​​​​​​​​​The Boys Town Hearing and Balance Center integrates current audiology research findings with our world-renowned expertise to provide patients with the most comprehensive hearing healthcare for both children and adults. We match individual hearing needs with the highest performing digital hearing aids available.​​

Audiology Services include:

Hearing Evaluations

The audiologists at the Hearing and Balance Center provide hearing evaluations to determine the degree and severity of hearing loss. These evaluations are performed on infants, children and adults. Conventional Audiometry is the most common hearing test for adults. In these tests, the patient wears earphones and responds to sounds heard. Hearing evaluations for infants and children include monitoring for visual clues.

The following videos contain more detailed information on each of the different types of testing we may do. To try and get the most information about hearing abilities that we can during audiology appointments, we choose the test methods that patients are most comfortable with and holds their interest the longest. There are short descriptions of the types of testing below. Keep in mind that the age ranges/grades that are listed are just guides and a different testing method may be used depending on patient interests and needs.

If you or a loved one is diagnosed with hearing loss and could benefit from hearing aids, Boys Town audiologists​ will custom-fit the right device for the patient’s needs. A wide range of manufacturers a​nd options are available to find the best hearing aid solution for each individual patient.
