Welcome to HearingLife's hearing center in Goose Creek, SC. HearingLife's licensed hearing care providers in South Carolina will help you to achieve better hearing.

 Check your hearing in Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester Counties, South Carolina

Have you experienced a change in your hearing? Do you have tinnitus or buzzing in your ears? If so, we welcome you to schedule a hearing assessment with a hearing care professional in our North Charleston office. You can also check your hearing online.

The hearing assessment is complimentary, and we accept many types of hearing aid insurance.

Do you know what to expect at your first appointment with HearingLife? 

A hearing assessment is the first step to see if you have hearing loss. A licensed hearing care provider will inspect your ears and use various methods to check your hearing. You will sit in a comfortable soundproof room or sound booth and wear headphones. Then we will ask you to listen to and respond to various tones, speech sounds and voices.

Your responses will be recorded on an audiogram and the results will help indicate if you have hearing loss or not. We are happy to answer any questions and fully review your results with you. After that, we can discuss next steps.

Generally a hearing assessment and consultation takes less than an hour. Learn more about your hearing when you visit us. 

Hearing aids in Goose Creek, SC

If your hearing assessment demonstrates that you need hearing aids in Goose Creek, there are a options for you to discuss with your provider:

  1. We will demonstrate the different types of hearing aids, including behind-the-ear hearing aids and almost invisible hearing aids. Together with your hearing care provider, you will identify what is the best hearing aid for your lifestyle.

  2. You will be able to try on and test out how the hearing aids feel and work. If you need an in-the-ear hearing aid that is personally molded to your ears, we will take an impression of your inner ear.

  3. We will fit or order the devices and program them to meet your individual hearing needs.

Today's hearing aids are modern, tasteful and discreet. In addition, our hearing aids are more technically advanced than ever before. We carry rechargeable hearing aids and offer a wide array of connectivity options via Bluetooth®.

We are confident that you will love your new hearing aids, but if you aren't completely satisfied with them, you have 30 days** to return them. Read more about trying hearing aids risk-free.

If you have been wearing hearing aids for years, you might not have noticed changes in your hearing. HearingLife offers hearing wellness visits where we can check to see if your current aids require a cleaning or reprogramming, and to address any repair or maintenance or other concerns.
