Comprehensive Hearing Tests
Down East provides comprehensive hearing evaluations to identify communication challenges and hearing difficulties. These assessments help us develop personalized recommendations and determine whether additional medical evaluation or referral is appropriate.
Brain Health and the Connection to Hearing
Hearing and cognitive function both play important roles in everyday communication. Understanding how individuals process information, follow conversations, and respond to their listening environments can help support more personalized hearing care.
At Down East Hearing Care Associates, we offer computerized cognitive screening using Cognivue Thrive, administered by a trained and certified provider. This screening provides information about certain aspects of cognitive performance and may help identify results that warrant additional medical evaluation.
Cognitive screening is not a diagnosis of cognitive impairment, dementia, or any other medical condition. When screening results indicate potential concerns, patients are encouraged to consult their primary care physician or an appropriate healthcare specialist for further evaluation.
Custom Hearing Aids
We provide a range of custom hearing aids to give you a perfect fit. We offer solutions that are comfortable, discreet, and effective, so you can enjoy a better quality of life and reconnect with the world around you.
Hearing Aid Diagnostics & Repairs
We offer diagnostics for device issues and work extensively on the vast majority of hearing aids on the market. Though some hearing aid repairs, due to their design and technology, must be sent to the manufacturer for certain repairs and to be reprogrammed. However, we can do most repairs in our on location, in office labs.

Pediatric Hearing Services
Individualized, Child-Friendly Care
Children require a thoughtful approach to hearing care that considers their developmental stages, emotional needs, and individual comfort levels. While we do not provide services to infants or children 8 years of age or younger, we welcome children ages 9 through 17 who can communicate effectively, understand what to expect during their appointments, and follow instructions. We assess each child's readiness individually, taking the time to explain each step, encourage participation, and create a comfortable, reassuring experience for both children and their families.
Pediatric Hearing Aid Support
At Down East Hearing Care Associates, we provide select hearing-aid-related services and custom earplug impressions for children who have previously undergone an appropriate hearing evaluation and received medical clearance from their physician. For children already fitted with hearing aids by a qualified hearing healthcare professional, our services focus on ongoing hearing aid care, maintenance, troubleshooting, and guidance for families.
