What hearing services do you offer?

Hearing screenings, diagnostic audiometric testing, hearing aid fittings, and follow-up care.

Do you work with veterans and VA benefits?

Yes. We help eligible veterans access hearing care and hearing aids through applicable VA programs.

Testing to the 2025 Audiometer Standard Inside California Facilities

Our program operates to ASA/ANSI S3.6, the specification for audiometers reaffirmed in its 2025 edition. That standard defines the pure-tone specifications and calibration methods every compliant audiometer must meet, and it applies equally to the portable, boothless instruments we bring on site. Properly calibrated and used in adequately quiet conditions, portable equipment delivers results clinically equivalent to booth-based testing.

Delivering that standard inside a correctional setting removes the cost and security burden of transporting individuals to an outside clinic. Testing happens on site, performed by licensed audiologists, with the calibration records that make each result defensible.

The commitment is straightforward and service-oriented: the same measurement quality a patient would receive in a community clinic, delivered where the patient already is. We confirm applicable requirements with the relevant standards bodies and coordinate directly with facility health services.

Why In-Person Diagnostics Complement Correctional Telehealth

The National Commission on Correctional Health Care adopted a Telehealth in Correctional Facilities position statement in December 2025, supporting telehealth when it is clinically appropriate and delivered under protocols protecting patient autonomy, confidentiality, and continuity of care.

Telehealth widens access for many services, but audiometry and otoscopic examination require calibrated instruments and a clinician physically present — they cannot be performed over a video connection. An on-site audiology program supplies exactly that in-person capability, complementing rather than competing with a facility's telehealth resources.

In practice, that means our audiologists conduct otoscopy and calibrated audiometric testing on site, document conditions and results, and coordinate follow-up with facility health services — keeping the diagnostic standard intact within a secure environment.

Field Notes

Field Notes: Managing Ambient Noise in Institutional Testing Spaces

The most consistent variable in on-site institutional testing is ambient noise. Hard surfaces, HVAC, and activity in adjacent spaces can raise background levels enough to affect a threshold measurement if they are not accounted for.

Our field routine addresses it directly: select the quietest available room, verify ambient levels against the maximum permissible for the frequencies tested, use portable sound-attenuating enclosures and insert earphones, and document the conditions with each test. Where a space cannot meet the requirement, that is recorded rather than glossed over.

Handled this way, on-site audiometry remains accurate and defensible — the same clinical standard applied in a booth, adapted to a secure California facility. The aim throughout is dependable service: get the measurement right and make the record usable.
