Gore Hearing And Speech Clinic

Dr. Sadanand Gore's Hearing Aid Care Program provides ongoing support and follow-up for patients using hearing aids. After the initial fitting, the program offers education on care and maintenance. Patients receive remote telecare and in-clinic visits every six months to ensure hearing aid health and address any issues.

BERA (Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry) or ABR (Auditory Brainstem Response) testing measures the electrical activity in the auditory nerve and brainstem in response to sounds. It helps diagnose hearing loss and nerve function issues, especially in infants and individuals unable to communicate their hearing capabilities.

Speech evaluation and therapy involve assessing an individual's speech and language abilities to identify challenges and provide targeted treatment. Therapy focuses on improving articulation, fluency, voice, and language comprehension for effective communication.

Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) testing evaluates the function of the inner ear's outer hair cells by measuring the sounds they produce in response to auditory stimulation. It's a non-invasive test used for newborn hearing screening and diagnosing hearing loss in individuals of all ages.

Bone conduction audiometry measures hearing sensitivity by transmitting sound vibrations directly through the skull to the inner ear, bypassing the outer and middle ear. This test helps identify hearing loss causes and assess the inner ear's function independently.

Tympanometry evaluates the middle ear's function by measuring the tympanic membrane's response to pressure changes. The test identifies conditions such as otosclerosis and middle ear effusion. Used with pure tone audiometry, it offers a comprehensive assessment.
