The Caring Connection
Hearing connects you to your loved ones and your social world. It allows you to join in the fun of an evening with friends in a popular restaurant, share an intimate conversation or be at the center of the excitement of a movie or game. No wonder that people with hearing loss often feel isolated and left out.
Dr. Gabrielle Sadowsky, CCC-A, dedicated Desert Sounds to helping people with hearing loss regain their quality of life through unsurpassed professional services delivered with empathy and understanding. It's the level of care you would expect from a seasoned Audiologist who shares a crucial connection with her clients - she, too has a hearing loss.
Gabrielle and her team have been improving the lives of the young, and the young at heart, through better hearing since 1990.
Help is Here
Hearing loss affects an estimate 33 million Americans. Although most hearing losses can be treated, many people never see an Audiologist for a diagnostic testing, and continue to suffer needlessly. People with hearing losses also affect family, friends and co-workers because of the struggle to communicate. There is no longer any need to suffer in silence. Not when help is just a few answers away.
Your Hearing is Worth Professional Care
The causes of hearing problems and dizziness can be complex. It takes a highly trained and skilled Audiologist to discover them and deliver the solution that is right for you. Dr. Gabrielle Sadowsky holds the highest degree possible, a Doctorate in Audiology, as well as a Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-A) from the American Speech, Language, and Hearing Association. She brings her extensive academic training coupled with over 17 years of diagnostic testing, treatment and continuing education, to finding the best solutions for your hearing loss.
We Provide Thorough Testing
The thorough audiological evaluations we perform are very different from "Free Hearing Tests," which are essentially designed to sell hearing aids. We begin by listening to you, gathering information about past and present issues that could affect your hearing. For children, we discuss prenatal and postnatal information as well as developmental milestones. We look at your history of ear infections and other medical conditions, surgeries or medications that may affect your hearing. We then administer sophisticated, state-of-the-art audiological tests that help us asses the possible cause of your hearing loss or balance problem. We keep you informed every step of the way.
So We Can Treat You Right
After your evaluation results, Dr. Sadowsky or other staff audiologists will counsel you regarding your treatment options so that, together, you can decide on the ones that fit your lifestyle and budget. Desert Sounds offers comprehensive rehabilitation programs that may involve:
If hearing aids or other devices are indicated, you have plenty of choices. We prescribe, fit and dispense assistive listening , alerting and captioning devices. We work with the top manufacturers and choose hearing aids that fit your level of hearing loss, dexterity, memory, sense of style, need for noise reduction, and price.
Patients have service plan options to meet their needs and budgets. We recommend Preferred Hearing Health Care© (PHHC©). Hearing aids come with a 60 day adjustment period, 5 years service and batteries, rush services and care.
We find patients with PHHC are able to maximize their hearing benefits and maintain their ability to function the best they can under this service plan. Through this service plan we are able to successfully monitor the hearing status and hearing aid functionality.
We work with adults, children and families who need auditory training and communication strategies. We are certified trainers of The Kooser Program aural rehabilitation program, a one day workshop and educational support group for those faced with hearing loss. The Kooser Program covers helpful information about audiograms, amplification and communication strategies. More importantly, it educates participants and their loved ones about assertiveness, self esteem, the emotional impact of hearing loss and how it affects personal and workplace relationships. Bringing a support person is highly recommended.
We provide education for clients, professionals and employers on the prevention of hearing loss.
We work closely with several trusted doctors in the Valley and coordinate care and treatment plans. When appropriate, we refer patients to Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialists or Neurologists for continued medical or surgical treatment.
