More than 28 million Americans suffer from some type of hearing loss. Children and teenagers seldom complain about hearing loss, and it often may go undetected. Adults frequently lose their hearing so gradually that they do not realize it is happening.

Superior hearing services require well-qualified clinicians and state-of-the-art testing equipment. Riverside Medical Clinic provides both. Highly skilled professionals are here to help you determine if you are experiencing hearing loss, and if so, to what degree. Our audiologists dispense the most advanced hearing devices available, as well as provide counseling on dealing with hearing loss. Children as well as adults can experience hearing loss. If you or someone you care about have concerns about their ability to hear, contact us for a hearing evaluation.

We welcome you to contact our Audiology/Hearing Aid Department for appointments at the Main campus or the Canyon Springs campus. The direct line for appointment scheduling is (951) 697-5585.

Our audiologists can provide assessments for hearing loss, dizziness and tinnitus. Along with providing hearing testing, we can also evaluate a patient for hearing aid amplification. In some cases, patients may need other types of hearing assistance. Audiologists are able to assist patients with television assistive listening devices, amplified telephones and other equipment that make it easier for hearing-impaired individuals. In addition, audiologists can make specialized earplugs for swimming or noise protection.

Tests provided by our audiologist include:

Basic Audiology Testing

Impedance Audiometry

Otoacoustic Emissions

Hearing Loss in Children

Normal hearing is essential for the social and intellectual development of infants and young children. Children with hearing loss may have difficulty learning to communicate because they cannot hear all or part of the sounds around them. Thus, the sooner a child gets help, the better.

Hearing Loss in Adults

For adults, hearing problems can make it difficult to understand and follow a doctor's advice, to respond to warnings, or to hear doorbells and alarms. Hearing loss can also make it difficult to communicate with friends and family. The impact of hearing loss affects not only the individual with the hearing loss but also the lives of those around them. The effects of hearing loss can be frustrating, embarrassing, or even dangerous.

You may be referred to an audiologist by your primary care physician or by an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) specialist. After indicating which location you would like to see the audiologist, the receptionist will provide you with a scheduled appointment. To help educate our patients and their families, the ENT and audiologist provide patients with pamphlets and documentation on the patient's specific disorder. Patients are also welcome to visit the medical library or visit some of the websites we have listed for your convenience.
