“Clayton Audiology made custom ear plugs for me to prevent swimmers ear. The off the shelf brand didn’t work for me. Dr. Palmer and staff are very professional, explained the procedure to make my ear plugs and assisted in every step. I’ve been extremely pleased with their service and recommend them to many swimmers.”

“My husband and I went in to see Dr.Thornton to have his hearing evaluated. He walked out wearing a set of hearing aids for a 30 day free trial. Wearing those hearing aids has literally been life changing for both of us. Jill, at front desk was so welcoming and helpful. Dr. Thornton was so extremely patient. Explaining to us and stepping us through each step of the evaluation.And carefully going over the results with us. Very knowledgeable in her field and easy to work with. I would rate higher, if I could. ”

At Clayton Audiology We Offer

Audiometric Testing - This hearing test evaluates your ability to understand speech by using high-frequency words that are often confused in conversation. You’ll repeat several words that you hear through earphones to make sure you’re able to discern sound combinations in speech. Audiometric tests measure hearing loss as a percent as well as a percent of words you heard accurately.

Tympanometry - Aids in determining how well the eardrum moves and the health of the conduction bones.

Speech Testing - This will reveal whether you’re hearing speech with clarity.

Hearing Aid Selection and Fitting:  

Hearing loss varies by individual. The hearing aids that someone you know loves wearing may or may not be right for you. Our hearing aid brands listed offer a wide range of technology choices to ensure the best fit for your unique hearing needs:
