Above, a sign says "General Reception & Audiology Check-In". Behind the desk is an office setting with a large window.

Here at HSDC, we recognize that hearing loss is often more than just hearing. It’s about communication, participation, and even safety. People come to HSDC Audiology because they are missing conversations with family, a coworker’s joke, or telephone rings and fire alarms. They turn down trips to the movies or the restaurant with friends, because it’s too loud, too hard to hear, or not worth the effort.

If you or a loved one are beginning to suspect hearing loss, it can be a challenge to figure out where to start. We like to think of ourselves as your personal guides. We are here to answer questions and help get you to where you want to be.

Our clients value our philosophy of personalized service. You’re not just a patient. You’re a part of our community. With our emphasis on continuity of care, you’ll get to know your provider as we get to know you.

We see clients across the lifespan, from infants to elders (pediatric to geriatric), and across all levels of hearing loss, from mild to profound. As a nonprofit, we are able to offer access to hearing aids for all income levels, whether through our programs or through our community partners.

We hope to renew our hearing aid walk-in hours and Communication Solutions Workshop when we can assure the safety of our clients and staff.

Access Sound

HSDC’s Access Sound Program is a refurbished hearing aid program that provides low-cost hearing aid(s) to community members. To qualify for this program, you must:

·       Reside in Washington State

·       Demonstrate need for amplification in order to participate in employment, education, and/or community living 

·       Be ineligible for Medicaid, Department of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR), Veteran Affairs, or private insurance hearing aid coverage. 

Provided that we have devices available in stock that are appropriate for your hearing loss and communication needs, hearing aid(s) will be fit by one of our licensed audiologists using best practices. All patients will be provided with follow-up appointments over a one year period from the device fitting date, to be utilized as needed. Batteries and supplies are not included. Additional appointments after this period will include fees for service and/or repair, as warranted. 

If you are interested in being added to our current waiting list for the Access Sound Program, please contact us.
