We assess hearing and ear function using diagnostic testing, which can usually be billed to health insurance. A large 7x7 foot sound booth allows Dr. Rancourt to service patients from patients age 6 months and older, patients with special needs and patients in wheelchairs. Many elders have mobility limitations and a larger booth is easier for them. Dr. Rancourt has extensive pediatric and adult experience, which is difficult to find locally. We will assess lifestyle and communication needs, make recommendations and execute management plans for hearing loss and/or tinnitus. We will also provide services to prevent noise induced hearing loss, musicians for example.
