Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) is the leading academic/medical facility in Northern New England.  The Audiology Section at DHMC provides a range of diagnostic and amplification/management options for all ages and works closely with the Section of Otolaryngology/Otology.  Various behavioral hearing tests and auditory physiologic measures are performed, including sedated and unsedated ABRs, OAEs, VNGs, and VEMPs. Children less than five years of (developmental) age are often tested using a two-tester paradigm.  Our aural rehabilitation services include hearing aid dispensing, cochlear implant management, osseointegrated technlogies and hearing assistive technology (HAT).

We have twelve audiologists, four with pediatric caseloads and eight with adult caseloads.  Our team also includes two hearing instrument specialists, a pediatric test assistant, an educational consultant, and a part-time social worker.  The clinic strives to practice evidence-based audiology and employs best-practice standards. Lead preceptors hold their CCC-A.
