Comprehensive Hearing Assessment for Adults

At Sonara Hearing & Tinnitus Clinic, we offer comprehensive hearing assessments conducted by a registered audiologist, utilizing evidence-based clinical protocols.

If you are experiencing changes in your hearing, have concerns about your auditory health, or are due for a routine check-up, our audiologist will perform a thorough evaluation, clearly explain the results, and discuss appropriate care options tailored to your individual needs. Our recommendations are always guided by clinical necessity and your best interests.

Upon request, a detailed medical report can be prepared and shared with you and your family physician to support continuity of care.

Tinnitus Treatment

Tinnitus is most linked to damage within the auditory system, particularly the nerve pathways that transfer sound from the ear to the brain. This damage can result from aging, prolonged exposure to noise, certain medications (such as chemotherapy), viral infections, or other health-related factors. As these neural pathways weaken, the brain attempts to compensate for the missing sound signals, often resulting in the perception of phantom sounds, such as ringing, buzzing, or whooshing, commonly known as tinnitus.

At Sonara Hearing & Tinnitus Clinic, we offer an in-depth tinnitus assessment and treatment program tailored to each patient’s needs.

While tinnitus may not have a definitive “cure,” a substantial body of clinical research supports the effectiveness of FDA-approved treatment options that can significantly reduce and in some cases, eliminate the perception of tinnitus. Much like managing chronic conditions such as diabetes or heart disease, tinnitus can be effectively treated with a targeted and systematic approach.

Our treatment philosophy is grounded in auditory neuroscience: by reactivating or stimulating the impaired neural pathways between the ear and the brain, we aim to reduce the brain’s compensatory generation of phantom sounds. As neural function improves, many patients experience a noticeable decrease, or complete resolution, of their tinnitus symptoms.

Hearing Aids

Welcome to better hearing. Our clinic is dedicated to helping you reconnect with the sounds you love through modern hearing aid technology. With the right hearing aids and caring support from our audiologist, you’ll be able to engage confidently in conversations and enjoy every moment with clarity.

Benefits of Modern Hearing Aids

Modern hearing aids are smaller, smarter, and more discreet than ever. They pack advanced digital technology into sleek designs that are barely noticeable when worn. Here are some of the key benefits of today’s hearing aids:

Nearly Invisible Design: Many new hearing aids are designed to be virtually invisible when worn. Discreet styles, such as completely-in-canal models, sit inside your ear canal, so they’re hardly visible. You can enjoy better hearing without feeling self-conscious, as others will likely not even notice you’re wearing a device.

Smart Technology: Today’s hearing aids automatically adapt to your environment using advanced digital processing. Some models are even AI-powered, meaning they intelligently adjust settings to help you hear speech clearly, even in the presence of background noise. They often come with wireless connectivity, so you can stream phone calls or music via Bluetooth for added convenience.

Rechargeable Convenience: Say goodbye to tiny disposable batteries. Modern hearing aids often feature built-in rechargeable batteries, so you can power them up each night and enjoy a full day’s use without the hassle of changing batteries. This makes them easier to handle and more environmentally friendly.

Personalized & Customizable: The latest hearing aids are highly customizable to your unique needs. Our audiologist can fine-tune them to your specific hearing loss and preferences. Many devices also allow user control through smartphone apps or accessories, enabling you to adjust the volume or switch programs easily for different listening situations. In short, your hearing aids are tailored to you, providing a comfortable, natural listening experience.

Your journey to better hearing doesn’t end when you get hearing aids; it begins there. Our audiologist is here to provide personalized fitting, adjustments, and ongoing support for as long as you own your devices.

Professional Earwax Removal with the Earigator

At our clinic, we use the Earigator, a device that combines the functions of an otoscope and an irrigation system, to provide safe and effective earwax (cerumen) removal. Designed specifically for clinical use, the Earigator delivers a comfortable and efficient experience, even for patients with excessive or impacted wax.

This advanced system features:

Integrated visualization and irrigation for precise, targeted removal
Self-regulating water temperature that matches body temperature to prevent vertigo or dizziness
Controlled water pressure to safely dislodge even stubborn cerumen without risking damage to the eardrum

Whether you're experiencing discomfort, fullness, or hearing difficulties, our professional wax removal service offers a fast and reliable solution.

Children Hearing Test
Pediatric Audiology

Hearing plays a vital role in a child’s speech, language, social, and cognitive development. At our clinic, we offer comprehensive pediatric hearing evaluations in a calm, child-friendly environment that is designed to put both children and their parents at ease.

We use age-appropriate, evidence-based testing methods to assess hearing in children. Depending on the child’s age and development, tests may include:

Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE): A quick, painless test that checks inner ear (cochlear) function, often used for newborns and infants.
Tympanometry: Measures how the eardrum responds to changes in air pressure to assess middle ear health.
Conditioned Play Audiometry (CPA): Used for toddlers and preschoolers; children are taught to respond to sounds through a play activity, like placing a block in a bucket.
Conventional Audiometry: For older children who can raise their hand or press a button when they hear tones through headphones.

Early identification and treatment of hearing issues are crucial to ensure healthy development.

Custom Earplugs

Earplugs for Sleep

Made from soft, flexible materials, sleep earplugs reduce nighttime noise like snoring or traffic without blocking important sounds like alarms. They’re comfortable to wear all night and won’t fall out, helping you sleep more peacefully.

Musician Earplugs

These earplugs reduce sound evenly across all frequencies, preserving music clarity while protecting your ears. Perfect for performers, DJs, and concertgoers who want to enjoy music safely without distortion. The custom filter can be chosen based on the level of noise in your environment: options include 15dB, 20dB, or 25dB of attenuation.

Noise Protection / Work Earplugs

Ideal for noisy workplaces or loud hobbies, these earplugs provide high-level protection while still allowing important sounds like speech or alerts to come through. Comfortable for all-day wear and reusable for years.

Swim Earplugs

Swim plugs create a watertight seal to keep ears dry, helping prevent infections and irritation. Custom-fit ensures they stay in place and feel comfortable during swimming or water activities.

Why Choose Us

Our clinic provides expert ear impressions and fittings by an Audiologist. Whether for sleep, work, music, or swimming, we deliver high-quality, custom-fit earplugs tailored to your lifestyle.

Cognitive screening

Hearing and cognition are closely connected. When hearing loss goes untreated, the brain must work harder to interpret sound, which can place additional strain on cognitive processing and may contribute to changes in memory, attention, and mental clarity over time. Research has shown that hearing difficulties are associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline, and early detection and monitoring of cognitive function are important parts of overall hearing healthcare. At Sonara Hearing & Tinnitus Clinic, we offer cognitive screening with Cognivue Thrive, an FDA-cleared, non-invasive assessment that measures key areas of cognitive performance, including memory, attention, processing speed, and executive function. This quick, objective screening provides valuable insight into brain health and supports early identification of potential cognitive changes, enabling timely medical follow-up and a more comprehensive, proactive approach to hearing and cognitive wellness.
