WELCOME TO SLENT Hearing & Balance Center

Your Local Experienced Audiology & Hearing Care Experts

When it comes to your hearing health, nobody is more qualified to help than an Doctor of Audiology, and our team at SLENT Hearing & Balance Center consists of some of the leading audiologists in Louisiana.

SLENT SERVICES

Comprehensive Hearing Tests

Our hearing tests and evaluations are designed to put you at ease so you know exactly where your hearing sits on the quality spectrum. Your test will last 45 minutes. There’ll be a physical examination (only a slight tickle, we promise!) followed by pure tone testing and speech testing. You’ll get the results almost immediately and from there you’ll be advised on what course of treatment is needed (if any) to improve your hearing health.

SLENT HEARING aids

Personalized Hearing Aids Uniquely For You

You will never get a sales pitch from us. If you need hearing aids, it is our duty to advise you on the exact type you need and what’s going to fit with your lifestyle. As hearing aids are an investment, it’s so important that you get professional and impartial guidance, which, in many cases, depending on the severity of your hearing loss, can mean that the most basic and cheapest hearing aids might just do the trick! Of course, as technology advances, so too do the features and add-ons, but here at SLENT hearing and balance center, we’ll talk you through those if you want us to.

SLENT BALANCE

Balance Disorder &
Tests

Did it come as a surprise to you to learn your balance is directly linked to your ears? That nausea or dizziness is often a direct result of a larger hearing issue and hearing loss? Don’t worry, though – treating this is our speciality. This test is very similar to the hearing test, with an emphasis on a physical examination of your inner ear carried out by one of our highly trained Doctors of Audiology.

When Was The Last Time That You Had a Hearing Assessment?

Nobody looks forward to the day they get to wear hearing aids, but with over 48 million Americans suffering from some form of hearing loss (that’s 1 in 10 people), hearing aids are a critical part of caring for your hearing health.

At SLENT Hearing & Balance Center, we understand that there isn’t a “one size fits all” approach to hearing aids.

That’s why we work with you to find the perfect hearing technology for you based on your unique circumstances, level of hearing loss, and budget.

You can explore a range of technology, discuss your options with experienced audiologists, and make the right decision in a pressure-free environment.

But before you choose your hearing aids, the first step is to schedule your hearing evaluation with our leading team of audiologists.
