Important Audiology Services Updates (Last updated: March 1, 2025)

HSDC Audiology Department Closing As of March 21, 2025

After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to sunset our audiology department on March 21, 2025. This decision was not made lightly; due to financial challenges exacerbated by the pandemic, rising costs, and current medical reimbursement rates, sustaining this service is no longer feasible. 

For years, it has been our privilege to provide audiology care to our community, and we deeply value the trust you have placed in us. While this transition marks a shift in our services, HSDC remains open and committed to hearing health.  Moving forward, we continue to focus on advocacy, accessibility, and holistic support—ensuring that individuals who are Deaf, hard of hearing, or experiencing difficulties with communication continue to receive the resources and guidance they need within and outside of HSDC. 

HSDC recognizes that this change may bring questions, and we are here to support you through this transition. We encourage you contact us to obtain copies of your medical record related to audiology services, and our team will work with you to provide guidance on next steps, including referrals to trusted providers who can continue your care to the best of their ability.  

If you have any concerns or need assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to HSDC.

Thank you for being a part of the HSDC community.

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.
