Audiology Clinic

Restoring Hearing, Enhancing Lives

An audiologist is a professional educated in the study of normal and impaired hearing. At Mountain Region Speech and Hearing Center, we offer a comprehensive audiology clinic providing complete hearing health services, from thorough testing and evaluation to personalized care.

Our professionally trained, licensed, and certified audiologist, Dr. Matthew Brady, will provide you with a detailed hearing evaluation and explain the results. If necessary, he will prescribe a hearing aid or assistive listening device that best suits your needs. We offer various brands and models of hearing aids, which can be programmed to fit your lifestyle. Additionally, you have a 30-day trial period and receive free hearing aid checks throughout the warranty period.

For more information about hearing aids or assistive technology, please call us at (423) 246-4600.
