At the Hearing Institute,
we take great pride in helping people overcome their hearing challenges. We are passionate about what we do and consider ourselves fortunate to be part of such a rewarding profession. This passion for helping people hear better is reflected in the way we treat our patients with integrity, respect, and professionalism.
Our Story
Serving the Coachella Valley and beyond for over 35 years while working closely with the noted physicians of Desert ENT Medical Group, the Hearing Institute has developed a reputation as the premier provider of hearing services in the desert. All audiological services are provided by recognized experts in the field of Audiology with advanced degrees in hearing science and rehabilitation. Our Director of Audiology, Dr. Wade Zarella, has a Doctorate Degree with further specialized training. At the Hearing Institute, we are committed to providing individualized care, comprehensive services, and building long-term relationships. Our goal is to improve quality of life through better hearing, one patient at a time.
Our Practice Philosophy
The Hearing Institute’s reputation is built on professionalism, integrity, and expertise, not limited-time offers or gimmicks. Most dispensing offices treat hearing aids as a commodity, a little different than selling a watch, TV, or mattress. As such, they often use advertising gimmicks and limited-time offers to entice people to purchase their products. At the Hearing Institute, we have always believed hearing loss treatment decisions should be based on a comprehensive evaluation of both the hearing loss and each individual patient’s unique needs. Determined by our simple and easy hearing tests. Our prices are fixed, competitive, and all-inclusive. Consultations are informational, allowing you to make your hearing treatment decisions without pressure. Unlike most commodities, we believe long-term professional follow-up and care determine success with hearing aids.Our services
At the Hearing Institute, we provide a suite of services to comprehensively assess, diagnose, and treat hearing health. Our services include the following:
Tinnitus Treatment
Tinnitus is one of the most common symptoms of hearing loss and in some cases can occur without any hearing loss at all. Tinnitus is often described as “ringing in the ears”, however it can be any perceived head noise that does not exist from an outside sound source. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that nearly 15% of adults (50 million people) experience some form of tinnitus. Most people with tinnitus can adapt to the sound and ignore it over time. However, some people experience tinnitus that can be debilitating; resulting in sleep disturbance, inability to focus, anxiety, stress, and depression. Although there is no cure for tinnitus, we do offer treatments that can help manage or lessen the tinnitus; including hearing aids and hearing aid/masking devices. Tinnitus maskers are an option in most hearing aids on the market today and, when set appropriately by the audiologist, can help alleviate tinnitus symptoms.
