Audiology Care at Northwestern Medicine Regional Medical Group

Hearing disorders can have a major impact on quality of life, disrupting your ability to communicate with others and to enjoy simple pleasures, like a favorite song or the sound of a loved one’s voice.

Northwestern Medicine Regional Medical Group Audiologists provide clinical support with diagnostic testing in specially equipped audiology booths in the same office as the otolaryngologists.

Hearing Aid Dispensaries

For those who could benefit from hearing aids, the Audiology Clinics at Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital and Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital now offer hearing aid dispensaries. Our audiologists work closely with patients to determine which hearing aid will best fit their needs.
