Carilion Clinic

Our full-service Head and Neck Medicine and Surgery practices have board-certified otolaryngologists (ENT or Ear, Nose and Throat specialists), audiologists and hearing aid specialists on staff to serve you and your family. We are the only provider in western Virginia to offer the Lyric Hearing Device, the world’s first 100 percent invisible extended wear hearing device.

Carilion Clinic’s audiologists often recommend digital hearing aids for patients needing hearing assistance. The most advanced technology available, digital hearing aids use the processing power of a microchip that divides incoming sound into distinct bands that are amplified individually.

It is important to remember that while this new technology is exceptional, it is not perfect. The brain still needs to adjust to the amplified sound, and so a monitored trial period is important to ensure you are receiving the best hearing assistance possible.

Digital hearing aids are available in many styles, sizes and skin-tone colors. Contact one of Carilion Clinic’s audiologists today to learn more about digital hearing aid technology.
