About Our Company
Dayton Ear, Nose, and Throat Surgeons, Inc. believes in providing comprehensive, quality hearing health care. A wide variety of services are offered by a full-time licensed audiologist. When medical needs are observed, you may be referred to one of our three otolaryngologists.
Once your problem has been diagnosed, specific treatment will be recommended. Many times medications or allergy treatment can control the problem. Occasionally surgery may be necessary or your hearing may need assistance of amplification.
Whatever the course of treatment, you can be assured that we are always striving to bring you the very best.

Hearing Aid Evaluations and Fittings
We provide comprehensive audiological evaluations for children and adults. Our audiologists are licensed by the State of Ohio Board of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology to evaluate, fit and dispense hearing instruments. We offer the latest technology in programmable analog and digital hearing instruments, with a 30 day trial period. Our aids are customized to fit your auditory perception, hearing aid experience, personality, and life-style so that you get the best hearing possible. The hearing aids we dispense have a minimum one year warranty for repairs, loss, and damage and include free “in-house” hearing aid adjustments for the life of the hearing instrument.
Hearing Aid Cleaning and Repair
Anyone who purchases a hearing aid from Dayton ENT Surgeons will also receive free “in-house” cleanings and “in-house” repair of their hearing aid for the life of their hearing instrument. Simply drop your hearing aid off at the front desk, and one of our audiologists will get back to you within 48 hours. You may also choose to schedule an appointment with one of our audiologists to have your hearing aid evaluated.
Wax and moisture are the number one cause of hearing aid failure. Our state-of-the-art Aura Care cleaning system can help extract wax and moisture out of your hearing aid to get it back to peak performance.
If your hearing aid cannot be repaired at our office, we can send it to the original manufacturer for repair. For aids still under warranty, there is no charge for this service. Aids no longer covered under a warranty can still be repaired for a nominal fee.
Custom Earmolds
Our custom earmolds provide a better seal than “generic” ear plugs and are available for behind-the-ear hearing aids, telephone headsets, stethoscopes, custom swimplugs, musician earmolds, or for noise protection.
Assistive Listening Devices
Sometimes hearing aids are not necessary or do not provide enough benefit for certain situations on their own. When this is the case, an assistive listening device may be recommended. We offer the latest hearing assistance products including amplified phones, infrared TV amplifiers, vibrating alarm clocks, visual alerting devices, and personal FM listening systems.
ENG (Balance Testing)
Our audiologists also have expertise in evaluating and treating patients with dizziness. Electronystagmography testing evaluates parts of the body that help maintain balance, including the brain, central nervous system, visual and sensory systems and the inner ear function. If your dizziness is caused by an inner ear problem, an ENG can detect this and in most cases treatment by one of our doctors or audiologists can cure your problem.
